Need some assistance with a transcription request... Anyone know how to write sheet music for Drum set? 😅

Featured Replies

What's up y'all

I got a request from one of my followers to transcribe "Tip of the Spear" from the Halo: Reach soundtrack. More or less just for fun. Nothing commercial or to be performed. And It's something I'm doing to better understand music all together, as an autodidact composer/arranger. 

I'm having trouble with writing the drumset part of the piece. If anyone can get me started in the right direction I'd highly appreciate it! I will attach the .mscz file and the audacity file I'm using as the reference material. The track is cut into different parts in audacity, with each part labeled with what the section of the sound contains. You should be able to find it relatively easily 😁 

(In order to attach the files as they are meant to be used, I've compressed them into a Zip file and created a share-link via OneDrive. Should be able to access it without a login, just fine. If there's any trouble, just reply to this thread and let me know :)) Tip of the Spear.zip
And for those who don't want to download the file, or don't have musescore, attached is a PDF and mp3 playback of the current progress on the transcription, to ease the access for everyone. Here is also a YouTube link to a good reference. Timestamp: 1:15  Tip of the Spear.pdf

Do you know about changing noteheads? This is for Sibelius, but I'm sure musescore is similar

 

Also a good guide on how to write for drum set in general:
