If Darkness Had a Son – Metallica – Drum & Bass Breakdown

A nice Lars drum part that contains a lot of stuff – 4 on the floor bass drum beats, regular type beats with hi-hat or crash ride, double bass drum/tom beats, and everything between. There are different levels of hi-hat opening and also hi-hat dynamics to look out for. In the 8th note hi-hat sections, he may be playing all 8th notes (in fact it looks like he is in a ‘teaser’ video they did of this), but I notated just the ones I could hear. And as always with Lars, play it LOUD!
