About Ride drum sheet music

“Ride” was a single from Blurryface and reached the top 5 of the US Billboard Hot 100. Its reggae-tinged verses and big chorus made it one of the band’s most popular songs.

Josh Dun plays a laid-back, reggae-tinged groove with tasteful touches and builds into the bigger sections. Great for practising feel and pocket.
