Blurred, I personally can't sight read too well, but I can still do it decently on drumset parts which aren't too complex. Usually when I'm doing a cover with a band, I'll do semi-detailed charting, and will usually include the transcribed groove that captures the "feel" of the song. But how I usually write it is to ignore the timekeeper portion (unless of course that part of the drumkit plays a huge role in the sound). Similarly, when I sight read, I tend to mentally block out the more repetitive parts, which is usually straight 8ths hihats/ride, the 2 and 4 back beat, and focus mainly on the more varied sections.

sight reading is a skill that needs to be develope...it takes time...
doing scales( other workouts ), rhythmic exercises help with sight reading because you will get familiar with the rhythm, syncopation...
i developed my sight reading by playing hundreds of flute scores ( it helped for drums too )once when i was in an outside band...it really trains your mind!
so..try out more stuff...once u get the hang of it...go back to old ones...you would be surprised at your sight reading standard...
PS: if u cant do it fast...take it slow...and...SUB DIVIDE! :lol: good luck!

just make sure you sight read with frequency. its one of those things that if you stop, you tend to be slower at it when you try again. once you get it, it's all about patterns so it comes easily. repetition counts A LOT.
and always keep a bar ahead
