So I played a gig last night in NYC (Lower East Side to be specific) and hung out for a bit after the show. The guys in the band and myself sat talking with some of the audience members about music, etc... Out of nowhere, one guy talks about a song he had heard on the radio recently by Morris Day & The Time and claims that the song features 'the most difficult drum beat ever recorded', and the song he's talking about is '777-9311'. I had heard about this song before, probably from a Modern Drummer magazine article I had read a few years ago. But I never actually learned the song before, so I took stab at it this morning, transcribing the song first and then learning to actually play the song on the drums. Being that I had transcribed it neatly within Sibelius, I decided to share my transcription of it here on the Forum. You might notice that I have separated the hi hat part from the kick/snare part so that it will be easier to see whats going on within the beat. Hope you guys have a good time tackling this killer drum groove!
