Joy Division - Transmission

Well yeah heres a joy division song. I think it's pretty accurate. A little iffy on the
intro but it should sound ok.

Staff symbols:
=================
H = high-hats (play slightly washy)
F = Floor tom
t = mid tom
B = bass drum
s = snare drum

Notation:
=================
x = Strike high-hats
o - strike drum


*special notes*

this tabs just a guid line and is open to in

this is how I would play this song on an acoustic kit...it sounds like 
he's using an electronic drum set...

I think hes moving from a floor tom to a mid to large tom...

whatever you think sounds good!
