Some of the songs contain multiple drum fills; the time that each of these drum fills occurs in the song has been noted in it’s own ‘Fill’ column.

The genre of music has also been listed for easy referencing…although some of my classifications might be a little debatable; one drummers “Rock” is another drummers “Metal” for example.
