R U Mine? - Arctic Monkeys | Drum Transcription Notes

This transcription was originally published on 24/6/20. It was updated on 10/3/21 to include a drum legend.
The grooves throughout this Arctic Monkeys classic are straight forward, but some of the fills are fairly intricate and fast — so watch out for those!
A few notes on the transcription:
I’ve transcribed this for a four-piece kit. It sounds like Matt Helders might have an extra low tom on the recording. He also uses a crash-ride. As most of my students don’t have one, I’ve transcribed the middle 8 and outro on the crash, and the final chorus on the ride. If you have a crash-ride, you can play all of those sections on that instead.
The floating comma symbol than follows some of the crashes means that they are choked crashes (quickly grab the cymbal after it has been hit).
The “o+” above the last hi-hat in bar 41 means to open and very quickly shut the hi-hat again.
