How do you read drumming notations?

Just for clarity, let's say that the bottom-most line is called "line 1," the next line is called "line 2," the next is "line 3," then "line 4," and "line 5." If you were reading the staff in treble clef, "line 1" would be E, "line 2" would be G, "line 3" would be B, "line 4" would be D, and "line 5" would be F.

  • The space above line 5 (on top of the staff) as well as line 5 itself are used to denote cymbals. (Hi-hats, crashes, rides, splashes, etc)
  • The space below line 5 is the first tom-tom.
  • The space below line 4 is the second tom-tom.
  • The third line is the snare drum.
  • The space below line 3 is the floor tom-tom.
  • The space below line 2 is the kick drum.
