Red Hot Chili Peppers - Parallel Universe Drum scores PDF

“Parallel Universe” is the second track on the album “Californication” of the famous band Red Hot Chili Peppers. This album was released on June 8, 1999 and became the best-sold album of the band.

The drum part of the song was written by Chad Smith, who joined the band in 1988, by now he is also a member of the hard rock supergroup Chickenfoot. Smith ranks #24 in the list of “Top 66 Hard Rock + Metal Drummers Of All Time” according to Loudwire, and Spin magazine placed him #10 on list of the "100 Greatest Drummers of Alternative Music". Chad is also known for charity work with young musicians. He supports music education in U.S. public schools and released a video for the engaged drummers called “Red Hot Rhythm Method“.

“Parallel Universe” has a philosophic implication and echoes of hard metal straight from the 80’s. This song is one of the most intense on the album: fast tempo goes along with the 16th notes on Hi-Hat and furious outro on Ride. Recommended for intermediate level drummers.
