Band: The Beatles
Song: "Free As a Bird"
Album: Anthology 1
Tabbed By: Thad Driscoll (JonDoe3581@aol.com)
For: Kris's Drum Tab Page

HH = Hi-Hat
SD = Snare Drum
BD = Bass Drum
C  = Crash Cymbal
T1 = Tom #1

The song begins like this and you go right into the beat
below:

HH  44
SD  44
BD  --

Or you could just do two eighth-note flams on a snare.
Either way it sounds good.

Here's the way Ringo plays the beat on Anthology 1:

HH  1n1n 2n2n 3n3n 4n4n
SD  ---- 2nnn ---- 4nnn  (repeat)
BD  1nnn ---- 3nnn ----

Or you could play it the way my school band plays it which
probably sounds better:

HH  1n1n 2n2n 3n3n 4n4n
SD  ---- 2nnn ---- 4nnn  (repeat)
BD  1nnn nn2n 3nnn nn4n

Here's a couple fills Ringo throws in before going into the
part which goes: "Whatever happened to the life that we once
knew..."

SD = 1n1n nn22 3nn3 4nnn
C  = ---- ---- ---- nn4n

SD = 1n11 2n2n 3n33 444n
C  = 1nnn ---- 3nnn ----
