3/4 time

Happy boom tap tap, boom tap tap

On the last one when you say her name do a drawn out press roll and rim shot.

On the last happy birthday, get slower and end with cymbal flourish!

That should do it

all the best...

Drums are not a melodic instrument. Unless you tune 4 or 5 drums to a relative pitch, It's probably not going to sound that good. Here's two options:

1. Sing it while you play it on drums.
2. Just get her a gift. That's what she wants anyway.

I hhave got her gifts already!!! Haha

Just thought it would be cool to try and do for her

Ok ... I was just having fun with you . So go on Youtube and look at some of the acapella versions of the birthday song . Then learn one and then sit at your kit and play along to your singing using brushes . No fancy tom fills or stick twirls , there is NOTHING you can do with those drums that is going to impress her (except maybe selling them) . Most women hate the fact that we are drummers and only put up with it cause it keeps us happy . So don't rub it in .
Boy I hope you have a really good present to make up for your singing ...
Seriously good luck and I hope you two have many happy years together .
Cheers..

Remember when you sing the "Happy Birthday to <girlfriend's name> " that's when you play the cymbals a lot

then you finish with "Happy Birthday to you" boom tap tap crash
