Transcribing Notes From John Neil (Head Transcriber)
Ants Marching – Dave Matthews Band – Song Breakdown
Drum Sheet Music
A very intricate part from Carter Beauford. Lots of hi-hat work, lots of everything work. And fortunately there was an isolated recording which I found online. I tabbed it for 6 toms, which there seem to be, from quite high to quite low. Also lots of dynamics in his hi-hat work which make it even more of a stellar performance. Also, he has a tendency to play open-handed, hence lots of hi-hats while he’s on the ride etc.
Bass Guitar
A nice bass part played with the fingers. Some of the notes in the bridge and interlude are lost in the mix, but what I tabbed works harmonically, and is as close as I could get to what I could hear.
