=Notes=
Intro, Verse 1 and PreChorus 1 are kind of muted, there is some 
effect on it like muted and echoed, so it was pretty hard to 
hear what exactly is going on (especially the last measures 
of Verse 1 and PreChorus 1, maybe they're tabbed very wrongly, 
at best you play it like you hear it). The ghost notes after 
every snare hit on 2 and 4 may occur because of that echo/hall 
effect.

Unsure about:
- the last measure of Verse2, the last hit hasn't to be a snare 
hit, it sounds kinda dry and hard, but it doesn't sound like the 
normal snare, rather like slamming a door.
- the ride pattern in the outro. Everything is pretty loud in that 
part and I suggest he keeps the ride pattern playing like that, 
because you can hear ride hits on some "2e" and "4e"s, but it's 
too loud to hear it always, it's most likely that he doesn't play 
the three hits of that pattern when he does his little fills on 
the 4th quarter of those measures.
- the last (but one) measure. I don't know if the last four hits 
are hihat or a crash. If it is a crash then it will be one with a 
higher pitch than the one you hit first. But it would make more 
sense if it was the hihat (you would play it wide opened), because 
you can hear the choke of it in the last measure I noted down.

I tried to do my best with the ghost notes. and I tried to figure 
out when it is a brush stroke and when clean 32nds, but if you find 
any missing ghost notes or anything else feel free to leave a comment 
or to mail me.
Well, there maybe some errors due to those ghost notes, the effects on 
the beginning and the noise in the end. I myself hate tabs if they're 
imperfect and incomplete but I'd recommend you just to keep the basic 
drum patterns and to improvise on your own if you're going to play this 
song with your band, cause this stuff is just too hard to hear (for me).

legend:
d - double ghost notes (the "dd" on every 4+a are crescending, you'll 
have to stroke 'em with one hand, because I'm sure the hihat goes on)
D - double accented/normal notes
O - on ride(R): very hard/accented strike on ride
