Drum Transcription: Mr. Bean's 'Invisible Drum Kit'

Here's a note-for-note transcription from the famous "Invisible Drum Kit" sketch by Rowan Atkinson, the actor who created the character Mr. Bean.

Do you think he's performing by memory to a pre-recorded track, or do you think a live musician is covering him offstage?

having played drums live before, i really resonate with having to tap the bass pedal with your hand while rummaging around for a dropped stick. the panic is real

[Pte_Dodge]

Was it just me or was his timing actually impeccable!!??

[mayank_b]

People don't realize this but acting in such perfection when there is actually nothing in front of him is extremely difficult.

[kindlehaha]

Can we talk about how incredibly talented this actor is?

[Alex-llmc]

You're wondering why it took so long for the YouTube algorithm to recommend this to you.

[cherixxx]

I’m deep in my paranoia and self loathing inducing insomnia and this brought me laughter, so yay Mr. Bean. :)

[nicanorrivera]

So original. Never saw anybody did something like this before.

[MamaTrixxiee]

I regrettably had to pause mid cat segment due to lack of breath because i was laughing too hard at the fact the invisible cat got mad at being drummed on

[johnygeorge]

Literally one of the most legendary + funniest drum music 🎶 I ever heard

[elizaconsuegra]

When Rowan finds the cat is very hilarious, but really drive me crazy from the moment he catches the cat and makes it fly to the audience. Mr. Bean is a genious

[anh]

Imagine how much effort and time to make this performance

[fataturchina]

Thank you for the drum transcription. It' a lot helpful ...!!!👌👌👌👌👌

[mtheman]

Soo, I work in a theater. The sinking and coordination they must have done for this is insane.

[jonthompson]

I cant even imagine how much practice this took.

[outcastsociety]

Behind his goofy face and expression he is genius, not just in comedy but he actually is very genius

[beanedtea]

The genius of this is that the audience is also invisible

[sk-ydge]

Now I need a video of someone copying what he’s doing and actually drumming that with the same timing and everything.

[rjsoniega]

This felt like a dream when i was young

[GamingThrottle]

Would love to see him practice this routine
