The Following sheet music is not a transcription of the original drum part, but is designed to be an easier entry point into playing the song.
In this song we look at how drummer Dave Grohl created six different energy or intensity levels to create a very dynamic drum part.

​Here is a tutorial video that you might find helpful is learning to play the song

The original drum part is actually played with quarter notes on the Hi-Hat rather than eight like we have learnt.  However once you are playing with loose HH's, the two beats don't sound so different.  This drumeo video shows 5 different difficulty level for playing the main Chorus beat of the song. Have a watch and see what level you are at.
