Can you help explain drum notation to me?
the rhythms work the same, but instead of pitches, each line or space probably represents a different drum/cymbal/percussion item. usually the kick drum goes on the bottom, the cymbals usually go on top, usually with X heads, and the snare usually goes in the upper middle space. sometimes you see special markings above hi hat notes such as "O" or "+" which means open or closed. Which drum/item is which is usually labelled on the left before the start
