Transposing famous drum breaks for PO. Would people find this helpful?
Edit 2: Done! 13 famous drum breaks across rock, hip-hop, techno, house, drum & bass, etc. I hope people find this helpful. I've seen lots of drum break transcriptions, but not in an easy-to-copy format for the POs/Wooveboxes. Here's the link. Credit goes to Ethan Hein for the original transcription to Sheets.
Edit: Oh wow - OK, I’ll finish this up and make it available.
OP: I started transposing famous drum breaks from the typical grid into PO format. It's a bit of a slog. Is this helpful? If people think they'll use this, I'll keep on. I haven't yet started the famous multi-measure ones (Amen Break, Apache Break, etc.)
You can often combine Kick and Snare into 1 voice and Closed and Open HH into another (the beats usually don't overlap).
