How to Write Drum Parts (for non drummers)

Drums are a weird instrument to try and write for if you don't know how to play them. As a drummer myself, I know first hand how difficult most arrangers find writing drum parts because I've had to play some truly brutal drum charts in my day. Just some real stinkers. Thankfully, this video is here to give a little overview about what a good drum part should have and some of the basic notation principles that you'll need to know.

Huge thanks to my friend Lauren T and my wife Em for recording the sax and trumpet parts in the final arrangement! You can download the arrangement here: https://8bitmerch.bandcamp.com/track/azalea-town-blackthorn-city
