Did I mention I got drums for Christmas? No? Well, I did. And I was wondering, they don't have drum parts in the Queen music books, do they?
So does anyone know a site where I can either get the parts or buy a book with parts in?
Thanks in advance.

As Roger always said, drum music is pointless (well, don't quote that, but you know what I mean).
I personally cannot stand drum tabs, and most beats are easy to work out anyways. Just listen to the songs and remember the fills, and watch performances of the songs too. The more you watch, the more different techinques you'll pick up.
Sounds a bit rubbish, but it helps a lot.

I think www.mxtabs.net has "shut down" now, but www.guitartabs.cc still has some drum tabs I think.

I agree

I tend to just listen to the song, play in the smae rythem and make up my own fills!! Because drum tabs are far too confusing and anoying if your dashing about the kit!!
How much were your drum kits?
i dont read drum tabs that much songs are basic and easy to play on the drums, just listen to a song and you'll get the jist
i don't even play drums (but i want to) but i reckon i could blunder my way through the ones i watch regularly. I tried picking out drum tabs that are in my keyboard book (keyboard percussion for the exams) and they were just annoying.
Well said Sam.
Roger's playing was not that technical where you need to read tabs.
Drum parts from the likes of Neil Peart (sorry guys about the Rush cliche) may warrant drum tabs.
Modern Drummer magazine releases great tabs. However, most of the artists from that magazine are studio freelance drummers, and they're drum notation is wicked.....very hard to read!

the way i do it cos im a drummer and big rogerfan, is i listen to the song 1 or two times, and air drum to it, and i then play the song and i play the drums properly to it, and it works, you just get the beat, brilliant its fun too!
You have to WATCH Roger! To learn the little tricks and specials he does. He is really unique.
hi im a drummer and also a huge roger fan. the best thing for me i found was to listen to the songs a couple of times over like was said in a previous post "Air Drum" to it. then with the rythym to it get behind ur kit n play away also if u want if u have discman / mp3, use ur earphones turn it up n play to that, n yeh watchin concert performances on dvds helps too particually when i started out playin queen songs the first one i learnt was one vision, so i used the multi angle on wembley. is very helpful.
as for me i dont find tabs all that helpful (to confusing) so i just teach my self.
hope this helps or have i just been rambling.

I think there are a few books on the market that do include the drum tabs, however there is no substitute for good ears.
Listen and watch everything you can, Rogers playing style is harder than you might think, people often think it's easy until you record yourself, then listen back, bet it's not the same, he has some very subtle but important elements to his playing, not least slightly openning the hihat on each snare beat.
He has a natural rhythum that is very hard to copy if youare trying to be really accurate.

I tell you what, I'm glad you said that. Opening the hi-hat so lsightly on every snare hit is something I struggle to do. You know when you're rubbish at it becuase you concentrate so much on it that you forget to do other things.
I remember an interview with Taylor Hawkins of the Foo's, when in it he states about - once more - his love for Queen and Rog, and he talks about his hi-hat technique, and how it is something even he finds hard to do. Given Taylor is currently one of the best drummers around (or even the best, as per Dave Grohl's suggestion) - it says something about Roger's rhytmic capabilities and overall talent I spose. Very underrated. Which is a blessing and also a shame at the same time.
