Smooth Criminal Drum Sheet Music (Colored) Now Available from Drums In Color

Drums In Color has officially released new colored drum sheet music for “Smooth Criminal” by Alien Ant Farm — and it’s one of our most advanced arrangements to date.

This high-energy rock track challenges drummers with fast hi-hat work, tight snare backbeats, and dynamic control. While it’s designed for intermediate to advanced players, our color-based learning system makes even complex songs easier to approach.

If you're newer to drumming, we recommend starting with beginner favorites like:

• “7 Nation Army” by The White Stripes

• “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor

What Makes Drums In Color Different?

Traditional drum notation can feel overwhelming — especially for beginners or visual learners. Drums In Color simplifies the process by matching specific colors on the sheet music to colored stickers or rings placed directly on your drums and cymbals.

In just minutes, your drum set transforms into a powerful visual learning system.
