In the video below I’ll input example ‘A’ from earlier in this post. This will allow you to input notes by clicking on its keys on the screen as if you are using a MIDI keyboard. If you will go to View>Panels and check ‘Keyboard’, a piano style keyboard will appear. But here’s another way that doesn’t require a MIDI controller. You will then need to change the notehead(s) by selecting the note and selecting the notehead type in Notations>Noteheads>Type. One issue you will run into with this is that you can only input normal noteheads with this type of input. Select the note duration from the keypad and use the cursor to click into the staff, or click the staff and type N to start note input, and type note name on your computer keyboard. If you want to input notes on a drum staff without a MIDI controller, you have a couple of options.

The techniques I’ll cover in this series of blog posts can be applied to any of these notation styles. ‘C’ is a short hand that I have usually seen used by drummers who are writing charts for themselves, a quick shorthand style of writing. ‘B’ eliminates most rests and is also a very common notation style for drums. The rhythms to be played are clear but there are more rests to keep up with. The way I think of drum set parts is for drums and cymbals to be played with the hands are stems up, and parts played with the feet stems down. The style you use is up to you and may be dictated by the client or a specific situation. As with all music notation, the bottom line is that you want to strive to be clear and consistent. There are three basic styles of notation used for drum set parts shown below, and all are perfectly valid.
Then I’ll show you some techniques I use to create each one.

In this series of blog posts, I will show you how to use Sibelius | Ultimate’s powerful built-in features to quickly and efficiently create clear concise drum set parts for any type of arrangement.īut before I do, let’s define the different types of notation commonly seen in drum set parts. Although some find drums set parts to be the most time consuming and “tweaky” parts to create, my experience is that this is not the case if you using Sibelius | Ultimate! My experience is the best drum set parts fall somewhere in between, with just enough notation to clearly get the idea across but not overly notated and cluttered. A drum set part can be as simple as measures filled with slashes that layout the form or very detailed notation showing every drum or cymbal struck by every limb. Most of the projects I arrange for require drum set parts.
