Bundle Drum Sheet & Video – Muse – Easily

“Easily” by Muse is one of the band’s most fascinating deep cuts—recorded during the sessions for their 2006 album Black Holes And Revelations, yet released only as a B-side and bonus track. The song carries all the hallmarks of mid-2000s Muse: emotional intensity, soaring melodies, and, for drum lovers, a tight, explosive rhythmic performance from Dominic Howard that drives the track from start to finish.

For fans of drumming, what makes “Easily” stand out is Howard’s blend of control and impact. The verses feature a tight, crisp groove with syncopated hi-hats and a snare that snaps with precision. As the chorus explodes, so does the drumming—open hats, powerful tom accents, and a kick drum that punches in perfect unison with the guitar stabs. Howard’s performance gives the song a sense of lift, as if the rhythm is pushing Bellamy’s vocals upward through each climactic line. The fills are classic Muse: direct, emotional, and slightly aggressive, giving the track the sort of pulse that makes it feel alive even in its quieter moments.

Although “Easily” never made it onto the official Black Holes And Revelations album, it became a fan favorite after being released as a B-side on the “Starlight” single in 2006 and later in digital collections. However, Muse have rarely performed it live. The song was rehearsed during the Black Holes and Revelations era, but it never made its way into regular setlists—making its handful of soundcheck appearances special moments for die-hard fans. Many listeners consider it one of Muse’s great “lost tracks,” one that showcases the band’s chemistry at a time when their creative output was overflowing.

For drum enthusiasts, “Easily” is a hidden gem: a track where Dominic Howard’s rhythmic sensitivity and explosive power shape the song’s identity just as much as the guitars and vocals.
