Product Description
Step into the fierce attitude and gritty pop-rock energy of the 2010s with this simplified drum arrangement and full drum transcription of Circle the Drain by global pop superstar Katy Perry, from her iconic album Teenage Dream (2010). This powerful track stands out on the record for its heavier rock edge, driven by pounding drums, distorted guitars, and emotionally charged lyrics. Perfect for beginner to intermediate drummers, this arrangement simplifies the original performance while staying true to its intense and expressive feel.

The simplified version makes it accessible to learners without losing the drive and momentum that define the song.
