Guide to Standardized Drumset Notation

Publisher: Percussive Arts Society
 

One of the biggest challenges for anyone attempting to notate a drumset part is that there is no absolute “standard” in terms of what makes up a drumset.
Through this book, the Percussive Arts Society provides guidelines to aid performers, teachers, students, composers, arrangers, in producing clear drumset parts for a variety of uses.
These guidelines cover the majority of situations and provide basic principles to help people arrive at logical solutions to unique circumstances.

Topics covered include:
general notation, drums, cymbals, noteheads, voicing, improvisational notation, and more.
