|-0-|: Accented strike
|-f-|: Flam
|-o-|: Hit open Hi-hat
|-r-|: One-hand roll
|-g-|: ghost note
|-d-|: double hit
|-b-|: Cymbal bell
|-#-|: choke cymbal
The beginning is a bit strange, I don't know if it's a recorded stuff or what
but who cares?...Hit the sticks! xP
*In the Post Chorus it's played the hi-hat with different pressure on the pedal
I don't think it's accurate 'cause it's very difficult to difference an open hi-hat
from a half-open or loose one...
