How to play Creep on drums
- Plug in your electronic drum kit over USB — or play on the keyboard.
- Press play. The notes of Creep come down in time with the recording, or with the drums taken out so it’s just you and the band. Play it in Beatfall or read it as drum notation.
- Slow it down. Take the Fill at bar 64 at 0.5× or 0.75× with a click and a count-in, then bring it up to 92 BPM.
- Check every hit — on time, early or late — before you record your Creep drum cover.
