How to play Seven Nation Army on drums
- Plug in your electronic drum kit over USB — or play on the keyboard.

- Slow it down. Take the Fill at bar 24 at 0.5× or 0.75× with a click and a count-in, then bring it up to 124 BPM.
- Check every hit — on time, early or late — before you record your Seven Nation Army drum cover.
