OK not sure on this but should sound decent.......
each "-"= one sixteenth rest or"x" = one sixteenth note very important
intro bass beat not actually there i like it though
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & a
bass[x - x - x - x - x - x - x - x x] ..... x7
then pre-verse
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & a
bass [x - x - x - x - x - x - x - x -]
hi-hat[x - x - x - x - x - x - x - x -] keep it kinda loose all x 4
snare [x - - - x - - - x - - - x - - -]
rest until the last line of the chorus and play that again and then play this i will
call this THE BUILD important
snare [x - x x x x x x - - - -]
small crash[- - - - - - - - x let ring for that measure
hi hat [- - - - - - - - - - - -] then half a measure of the basic beat (below) only
for this one time
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/casting_crowns/slow_fade_drum.html ]
for the verse after that go into the basic drum beat with the hi hat as loose as the
pre-verse like this:
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & ]
bass [x - - - x - - - x - x - x - - -] all x9 at 2nd count of 8th
measure crescendo through 9th
hi hat[x - x - x - x - x - x - x - x -] on the hi hat only and then play the
build with no crash just snare
snare [- - - - x - - - - - - - x - - -] then repeat that again 8 times then the build
with no crash
and again 8 times with the build then wait for "its a slow fade when you give
your self away go into the pre-verse with energy on the "g" on give
3 e & a 4
repeat it 6.5 times then a snare beat like this: snare[x x x x x] and back to the
pre-verse on the 1st count of the next measure repeat it 1.5 times then the snare beat then
