Elephant Drum Cover with Transcription
Elephant Drum Cover performed by Roddy Bailey.
Original Words and Music by Tame Impala. Track 9 from the album 'Lonerism'.
I have tried to play note for note what the drums are doing. As you can see I am reading my own transcription from my ipad. It isn't perfectly played but I played as close as I could until I got a decent enough take! This video should give anyone interested a good understanding of what Kevin Parker plays on the recording, both audibly and visually.

People don’t realise how intricate Kevin’s drum parts are ! Dude is a straight up genius
I appreciate the fact that you even got the sticks hitting during the last fill at the end of the track transcribed. Great stuff man!

for a second I thought he was the lead singer for Tame Impala also, haha....so not just covers but impressions too, multi-talented. So far my fav. is MGMT - Time to Pretend. Rock on!! 🎼 🎼 🎼

Great as always dude. I'm really impressed with the snare roll (or whatever you call it) that you do. Is that the hardest part in covering Kevin's drums?

Hello Roddy! Bought the transcription, but struggling to count 4/4 on the 2nd bar. Shouldn't I be counting 5/4 on that 2nd bar? but I suppose that would also change the 3rd bar to 3/4 ... a bit lost. I just won't manage to count when playing, just feels that the 2nd bar is missing 1/4 note. Very clean transcriptions though! excellent work! Let me know if any tip on how to figure out my "counting" problem. (BTW I am a newbie, I am not even sure I make sense)

joël maranhão Hi Joel, yes it’s a bit weird when counting this as to where the hi-hats are placed. If you find it easier to count it that way then sure you can do it. But the backbeat is always on 2 and 4 so it makes sense to write it all in 4. Plus with what all the other instruments are doing you should eventually get round to feeling it in 4.
