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 ;)
