Song: 10:15 Saturday Night
Artist: The Cure
Album: Boys Don't Cry
Tabbed by: chris d'Entremont
In the song, quarter notes may be used where I used eighth notes, but either
way it will sound right when played at the right tempo.
Note: The high hat at the beginning should be tight and should just be
tapped, so that it does not ring at all and is not melodic. Also the bass
drum should fade in, not begin at normal volume.

Important note: The flams at the end of the measures above are eighth note
triplets, and the tom tom and floor tom strikes that are on the same beat
actually go together as flams with the grace note on T1 of the first two and
T2 of the last.
