Rediscover the innocent charm and nostalgic simplicity of "Were Going To Be Friends", one of the most tender and iconic songs by the rock duo The White Stripes, with this exclusive simplified drum sheet music and transcription. Originally released on their breakthrough 2001 album White Blood Cells, this gentle acoustic track has become a beloved favorite known for its sweet storytelling, stripped-down instrumentation, and enduring cultural impact.
Although the original version of this song features no drum part, this transcription provides a tasteful, minimalist drum arrangement that supports the melody while preserving the delicate atmosphere of the original recording. This makes it ideal for drummers looking to explore subtlety, groove construction, and dynamic control in acoustic or lo-fi music settings. Whether used in a live performance, acoustic set, educational setting, school concert, or creative arrangement, this drum transcription opens up rhythmic possibilities for a song typically performed without percussion.
Perfect for beginner to intermediate drummers, this arrangement introduces gentle patterns and light rhythmic textures that complement the finger-picked guitar and vocal delivery. It is an excellent tool for learning how to add rhythm tastefully to quiet, intimate songs, especially in unplugged or acoustic performances.
