Song: Love Will Tear Us Apart Band: Joy Division Drummer: Stephen Morris (tabbed by XpisBaupa@gmail.com) Speed: ~150 bpm HC High crash cymbal LC Low crash cymbal (or crash-ride) HH Hi-hat S Snare B Bass |-x-| Cymbal stroke |-X-| Accented cymbal stroke / Half-open hi-hat |-o-| Drum stroke |-O-| Accented drum stroke / Fully-open hi-hat Apparently Joy Division's producer Martin Hannett was dissatisfied with the original drums, and so got Stephen Morris in at around 4AM to rerecord them. This, he says, is why the drum part sounds so angry (he's certainly giving the snare a beating). The only challenging part really is the hi-hat, which I've written as O for fully open, and X for partially. Apart from that it's not too bad. Just a great, great song. That is all ;) 0:00 Intro |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| HH|x---O---O---x---|x---O---O---x---|x---O---O---x---|x---O---O---O---| S
