Simplified Drum Arrangement & Full Drum Transcription Loving On Borrowed Time by Gladys Knight & Bill Medley (from Cobra, 1986 Soundtrack)
This is a complete, performance-ready simplified drum arrangement and full drum transcription of the powerful duet Loving On Borrowed Time, performed by the legendary soul vocalist Gladys Knight and the unmistakable voice of Bill Medley (of The Righteous Brothers fame). Featured in the cult action classic Cobra (1986) starring Sylvester Stallone, this soulful and emotionally charged ballad also appears in The Essential Gladys Knight & the Pips: The Buddah & Columbia Years (2015), preserving its place among timeless cinematic love songs.
This sheet music has been carefully arranged for intermediate to advanced drummers, focusing on expressive dynamics, tasteful fills, and smooth transitions that reflect the tender yet dramatic arc of the original recording. The drum part enhances the emotional storytelling while remaining accessible and playable for soloists, session musicians, educators, and live performers.
With a balance of soft grooves, syncopated accents, and subtle build-ups, this transcription captures the essence of 80s adult contemporary soul-pop. Its ideal for soundtrack performances, duet showcases, romantic sets, and themed concerts that explore iconic film music from the golden era of action cinema.
