Kickstart My Heart – Motley Crue

Description:

Mötley Crüe’s “Kickstart My Heart” is pure adrenaline from the first note to the last, inspired by bassist Nikki Sixx’s near-fatal overdose and miraculous revival. Released in 1989 on Dr. Feelgood, the song became one of the band’s signature anthems, earned a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance, and remains a fixture at sporting events, races, and rock concerts around the world. Tommy Lee’s drumming is explosive yet remarkably controlled, driving the song with relentless energy, powerful grooves, and the larger-than-life attitude that helped define arena rock in the late '80s. For drummers, it’s an exciting challenge in stamina, precision, and maintaining intensity without losing control. With Drumable’s interactive drum sheet music, you can play along with the original recording, slow the tempo to build confidence through the faster sections, or switch to drums-only playback to focus on Tommy Lee’s timing and articulation. This detailed drum transcription captures every nuance of the performance, making “Kickstart My Heart” an essential addition to any rock drummer’s drum sheet music collection.
