If you're a drummer who enjoys Green Day, "Holiday" is a great song to learn and play on the drums. Now you can learn the drum part using the Drums In Color system, with color-coded sheet music designed to help connect the notes on the page with the drums you are playing.
Drums In Color has created drum sheet music for "Holiday" by Green Day, along with a complete play-along video that allows you to follow the song while the sheet music moves along with the performance.
Watch the Drums In Color "Holiday" Play-Along
The complete "Holiday" play-along is available to Drums In Color members.
The video combines a live drum performance with Drums In Color sheet music that moves along as the song plays. This gives you the opportunity to see the drum notation while hearing and watching the corresponding drum part. For drummers who learn best by seeing, hearing, and playing at the same time, this can provide another way to approach learning a song.
Once you have a membership you can access it here.
What Makes Drums In Color Different?
Traditional drum notation can be difficult for some students to immediately connect with the physical drum set. Drums In Color adds a visual color system to the learning process. Each drum and cymbal is associated with a specific color, allowing students to make a visual connection between the notation and the instrument. Instead of looking only at traditional black-and-white notation, students can use the color system as another visual reference while learning the drum part. The goal is to make reading and following drum music more approachable, especially for students who benefit from visual learning.
Want the "Holiday" Drum Sheet Music?
If you want to learn the song on your own, the "Holiday" drum sheet music is available for purchase separately.
The sheet music can be purchased for just $0.99.
This option is ideal for drummers who want to have the written music available while practicing the song.
Want to Play Along with the Full Song?
If you want more than just the sheet music, Drums In Color members can access the complete "Holiday" play-along video. The full video allows you to follow the color-coded sheet music as the song plays and the drums are performed. This creates a more interactive way to practice the song because you can hear the music, see the drums being played, and follow the notation at the same time. You will need a membership to access the full library of play alongs.
Find More Drums In Color Songs
"Holiday" is just one of the songs available using the Drums In Color system.
If you enjoy learning popular songs on drums, visit the Drums In Color sheet music library to find additional drum sheet music created using the system. As more songs are added, the goal is to continue building a growing library of music that drummers can use to practice and improve their playing.
Color Your Own Drum Set
The Drums In Color method is designed to work together with products that help you bring the color system directly to your drum set. By adding the appropriate colors to your drums and cymbals, you can create a visual connection between the instrument in front of you and the color-coded notation you're reading.
This can be especially helpful when you're first learning to connect written drum music with the physical locations of the drums and cymbals.
