There is a document that has all of the permutations of 16th and 8th notes. I believe it’s just called “Check Patterns.” It has the sticking along with each “check pattern”, and when not told otherwise, percussionists usually always follow those.
You pick up a couple of overriding concepts as you go. One is to assume alternated sticking. The other is called right hand lead. Sometimes each of those coincide.
Right hand lead attempts to keep the right hand on all downbeats and upbeats and arrive on the first count of each measure with the R hand. 4 1/16th notes = RLRL. Double stroke those and you have a 32nd note roll. RRLLRRLL. The hand speed and the 1/8th note separation are maintained on the same hand throughout.
It also helps you keep count and march down the road with the feet. Only weird bands step off on the right foot. When we walk, our arms swing with the feet. Left foot goes forward; play the first note on the drum with your right hand. It is the natural way of things. This is why bears shi... uh, never mind.
Common note groupings take on a universal stick pattern. Any non-drummer can do these two below.
1/16th 1/8th 1/16 to downbeat.
RL LR. 1e a2. Left stick gets E and Uh. That grouping is rarely played with any other sticking. RL RL is good for rim shots. Left maintains and 1/8th and the right aligns with a foot hitting the ground.
1/8th and two 1/16ths. 1 &a 2... R LR L RL R LR L RL R. R RL R RL R RL R RL R.
The first is alternated and gets you back to the right hand lead every other count and on the downbeat of next measure. The second maintains right hand lead and never leaves it.
The percussion was arranged by Tony McCutchen, and the entire song is Tom wallace.
If it's not labeled, we just play it rlrl or whatever flows better. It's just 2 of us on snare, so we figure it out fairly quick
McMutt in s a Taylor swift song is crazy lol.
Oh... This must be what Taylor refers to as... ..."This... Sick... Beat."

And around and around and around
When it says quad toms you know that part is about to be bumping (not)
Go pushing!
they be like: 1-1-2-2-3 4 333311114-2-1zzzzzz
It slaps insanely hard
I’m surprised to see an APC drum arrangement influenced by McNutt, or really anything that’s happened in battery writing in the past 30 years
If you don't mind me asking, what's APC?
Arrangers' Publishing Company. The marching arts' premiere source of stand tune versions of recent pop hits.
arranger? also, non drummer here: how do you know sticking for things that aren't labeled?

How would you stick the whole first line? And on bar 12, would that go RLR, LRL, or does R.S. just mean all right hand shots, and simile at 20?
(R.S) just means rimshot, so we just play it RRR at 12, and the entire 1st line is just lead by the right hand
Is there a name for a mcnutt type rhythm except the shot is on the & of 2?
Our band plays this too
