Product Description
Dive into the raw energy and emotional intensity of early 2000s nu-metal with this simplified drum arrangement and full drum transcription of Runaway by the legendary rock band Linkin Park, from their groundbreaking debut album Hybrid Theory (2000). This accurate and accessible drum chart captures the essence of the songs driving pulse, blending hard rock, alternative metal, and rap-rock elements into a performance-ready sheet ideal for beginner to intermediate drummers.
Runaway is a fan-favorite from Hybrid Theory, known for its aggressive rhythm, dynamic structure, and explosive chorus. The drums, originally performed by Rob Bourdon, provide a solid, hard-hitting foundation that is both powerful and rhythmic, incorporating a mix of tight hi-hat patterns, syncopated snare accents, tom-driven fills, and precise kick drum work. This arrangement simplifies some of the original parts while maintaining the songs full energy, making it perfect for educational use, rehearsal, or live performance.
Features of this transcription include:
Full song structure: intro, verses, choruses, bridge, instrumental break, and outro
Written in standard drum notation, easy to read and follow
Simplified rhythmic adaptations while preserving original style and energy
Great for practicing rock timing, punchy fills, and aggressive groove
Adapted for acoustic drum kits while mimicking programmed/produced elements
