My MIDI transcription of Dave Weckl’s Garden Wall (from the CD), made for practice purposes. It’s not exactly the same as the original track, but close enough. (And missing some ghost notes)

It also could be improved by editing dynamics, but I was lazy, since it’s just for practice anyway. Hopefully it helps anyone trying to learn the track.

Here’s a recording I did back in 2009 while recording a drumset.

Watch in HD for decent sound quality!

I don’t consider myself a “real” drummer, more of just “play when I have the chance” – especially as I don’t have a kit, but since I was recording my friend’s drumset already, I decided to give the song a go, and to keep it relatively simple. Extra points for spotting the mistakes!

(really, there are much better performances than my version!)
