Deer Dance

by System of a Down

for drums

Drummer: John Dolmayan
CD: Toxicity

There are certain high hat accents in the verses.  So I use x-hit, X-accent, O-open, and #-choke.  
This is my first tab, just to warn you all. Also, I‘m not as fast as John Dolmayan so I play all 16th notes as rolled 8ths.
