How To Play 'Come As You Are' by Nirvana On Drums - Note-For-Note Drum Cover

Had loads of requests for this by students - How To Play “Come As You Are” by Nirvana on Drums - Note-For-Note Drum Cover

Not a perfect performance by any stretch! But hope this’ll be useful as a reference for my students and others learning this one on drums :)

Great backing track from Karaoke Version:

It's the single stroke roll at 120bpm I just cant do....does speed come with time and practice?

Where is the sheet music from? The verse has 4 snare ghost notes in but you only played 2.
