Usually, page music is not printed for the drum part of a song (unless it is for classical music). Drum kits do not always have the same number of pieces. Some kits have 3 toms while others have 6 toms. Cowbells, wood blocks, tambourines, claves, etc. are all optional pieces of a kit. Drummers focus mainly on supporting the rest of the band with the use of timing and dynamics(loud and silent sounds), not on before a live audience the same exact business every time.

If you listen to a song on a cd, such as “How Can I Keep From Singing” by Chris Tomlin, and memorize the drum part, then go to a Chris Tomlin concert you will notice that the drummer does not play the exact same business that is on the cd. I have heard the studio version and a live version of “Blessed Be The Name” by Matt Redman and the drums were very different in the two recordings.

The most vital business to do is to become familiar with the feel of the song. If you have a recording of the song with drums, listen to it and map out which beats are emphasized and play something that has a similar sound and feel, it doesn’t need to be the same exact business (you might be able to come up with something that sounds even better).

After you know what you are going to play for the different parts of the song (verse, chorus, join, etc.) listen to where the drummer places the fills. Usually there is a fill that leads into another part of the song (e.g. the last measure before the chorus might have a fill). If you can map out how to play the same fill that is on the recording, you can play that, but there are many additional fills that you may maybe play that have the same kind of feel.

Many times, I do not have a recording of a song that I can listen to and some recordings do not have any drums, so I have to make the drum part. I always use the page music that the rest of the band uses. Most of the time, I use the bass line as guide for what kind of groove (pattern) I should play.

Most times I will ride on the hi-hat on the verses of a song and ride cymbal during the chorus of a song, but sometimes I ride on the floor tom through most of a song (I use the floor tom in “Blessed Be The Name”).

You can listen to recordings for thoughts on what to play, but the most vital business to do is to play something that you reckon sounds excellent.

You probably aren’t going to be able to find any drum transcriptions of contemporary christian songs. Trust me on this…I’ve played contemporary worship music for seven years and I haven’t been able to find any.

But, you may maybe learn how to record the music yourself. Music transcription is an invaluable skill that you will use time and time again. Since you’re looking for drum music, I assume that you know how to read musical notation. All you have to do is work with small chunks of music and write down what you hear. It doesn’t have to be note for note, just a general thought.

If you search on Google, you should be able to find several books that will help you to learn the art of music transcription. The one that I learned with was “Before a live audience, Reading and Soloing With a Band” by Gregg Bissonette. It is a record and a companion book, sold separately. I’ve not seen the record, but I used to own the book and it’s fantanstic.
I hope this helps.

Excellent luck, and pleased drumming!
