Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song, “The Power of Love” is perhaps best-known as the backing track while Marty McFly skateboards to school in the movie, Back to the Future. The song was specifically written for use in the movie, and ultimately earned Huey Lewis and the News their first #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. Drummer, Bill Gibson, plays a driving beat throughout with fun bass drum variations and transitions from loose and closed hi-hat. Gibson lays down some terrific drum fills throughout the song — which are attainable by even a newer drummer — to turn the song’s “rock dial” up a few notches. Download and print the drum transcription for “The Power of Love,” and go back in time to the heart of the ’80s.
