Get Lucky drum sheet music – a note-for-note accurate transcription of Omar Hakim's drum part on Daft Punk's “Get Lucky”, from the album Random Access Memories (2013). Every bar of the groove is written out exactly as recorded, in a clean, print-ready PDF.

About Get Lucky drum sheet music

“Get Lucky”, featuring Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers, was the lead single from Random Access Memories. It went to number one in more than 30 countries and won Grammys for Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.

Daft Punk recorded the album with live musicians, and session legend Omar Hakim plays a tight disco-funk groove on “Get Lucky”. It sounds simple, but holding it perfectly steady for the whole song – with a smooth hi-hat and a relaxed, consistent pocket – is a real skill. Perfect for drummers working on pocket, consistency and dance feel.

A drum transcription taken from the original recording

Every bar of this Get Lucky drum transcription comes from the original recording. Instead of an approximate groove with a couple of fills, you get the whole drum part – so if you need Get Lucky drum notes that sound like the record when you play them, this is the version to use.

The sheet music is professionally engraved and easy to read on a music stand or on a tablet. Each part of the song is clearly labelled, and repeats with first- and second-time endings keep the layout compact, so you spend less time turning pages and more time playing.

How to practise Get Lucky on drums

Here is a practice plan that works well for Get Lucky:

1. Listen with the sheet music. Notice how consistent the groove is.
2. Practise with a metronome. Aim for perfectly steady time.
3. Smooth out the hi-hat. Keep every note even in volume.
4. Relax. Disco grooves feel best when they are effortless.
5. Play with the record. Lock in with Nile Rodgers’ guitar.
6. Record yourself. Check the groove doesn’t drift over the long song.

Why note-for-note sheet music?

Learning Get Lucky by ear or from a free tab usually means guessing the details – which fill goes where, what the hi-hat is doing, how a section ends. Accurate sheet music takes the guesswork out: the rhythms are exact, the song structure is clear, and you can focus on playing instead of decoding.

Who is this sheet music for?

Get Lucky drum sheet music suits beginner-to-intermediate drummers who want to master a dance groove, and function, wedding and cover bands.
