Rock Drum Sheet Music
Rock is where almost every drummer starts, and it is where the best grooves live. From the driving backbeats of classic rock to the punchy patterns of modern alternative, these rock drum sheets let you read, play and practice along with the songs you already love.
Every sheet is fully interactive. Follow the notes on screen, slow the tempo down, loop the tricky fills, switch into the rhythm game to test your timing, or download a clean PDF to print. No subscription needed to get started.

Why rock is the best place to start
Rock drumming is built on a handful of core ideas: a steady quarter-note hi-hat, a kick on beats 1 and 3, and a snare on 2 and 4. Master that backbeat and you already have the foundation for thousands of songs. From there you add fills, ghost notes and dynamics to bring a track to life.
How to use these rock drum sheets
Read along with the interactive sheet, drop the tempo to learn a section, then play the rhythm game to test your timing. Connect an electronic kit or use the online drum kit, or print the PDF and take it to your acoustic kit.
