By The Way – Red Hot Chili Peppers – Drum Transcription | PDF download

By The Way – Red Hot Chili Peppers

The American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers released By the Way in 2002 as their eighth studio album’s lead single and title track. The song showcases the band’s signature funk-rock style with a catchy guitar riff, driving bassline, and distinctive vocals by Anthony Kiedis. The lyrics of By the Way delve into themes of love, loss, and longing, with Kiedis’ poetic words exploring the ups and downs of romantic relationships. The song’s chorus is especially memorable, featuring Kiedis singing, By the way, I tried to say, I’d be there, waiting for you, by the way.

The Benefits of Drum Transcriptions: 

Learning to read and play drum transcriptions is essential in your journey to becoming a better drummer. Not only is understanding the language of drumming and sheet music, in general, a superpower. It also allows you to play and perform new drum beats and songs without practising them or hearing them beforehand. Drum transcriptions will help you to understand a song’s structure better, improve your sight-reading skills and build a library of songs you can play straight away. Knowing how to read and play drum transcriptions can get you a job in multiple musical settings, as they rely heavily on sheet music.

About Me:

After finishing my master’s in drums & percussion and a bachelor’s in jazz studies, I started teaching music in my home country, Belgium. When commencing my world travels at the beginning of 2019, I took the opportunity to teach wherever my travels would bring me. Consequently, I have taught music and drum lessons in plenty of places over the past few years. I always did everything possible at every school to ensure my students had the best education possible. Moreover, I started to write Drum Lessons and Drum Transcriptions to give my students everything they need to become great musicians. One of those drum transcriptions is By The Way by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
