       Foot Pedals  -X-P----------------


Hi-hats & Cymbal line:

Hi-hats  O - OPEN HH
         X - CLOSED HH
         P - PEDAL HH

Tom line:
        Notated by number. 1 being the highest sounding to the lowest tom.
        (The numbers depend on how many toms Neil is using in any given song,
        it's up to you to fit them in your drumset.)
        X - Floor tom
 NOTE - Originally this key had two tom lines, but I decided to use
        just one too keep it simpler.
        A second tom line will be added to the bar ONLY if two toms are
        played at once.
 Foot Pedal line:
        X - KICK DRUM
        P - Hi-hat pedal
        When the right and left kick drums are being used together they will
        be notated with a right (R) or a left (L)
