FWIW...what I did was I break any song I want to learn down to it's constituent parts...intro, verse, chorus, bridge, solo, stop, outro, you get the idea.
Then I abbreviate it and write out the order. My arrangement notation might look like I/V/V/Ch/Br/Lead/Ch/V/V/end. Underneath I'll write reminder notes to jog my brain like song style for instance, who starts, how it ends.
Then I break down what's being played in each respective section. What pattern is the bass drum playing, the snare, the hi hat etc. I write myself notes like "sounds like hypothetical song abc's drumbeat" for instance. Anything I can scribble down that will remind me which one of the 30 songs I crammed for that I'm playing. Writing it out really gets it into my head.
People make their own systems/notations/terms up. Whatever works for you. I make up names for song sections that don't fit in the obvious categories. People write what the tempo values are, # of bars in a section, and anything else they feel they might need.
I write the arrangements and accompanying notes down with black sharpie on oversized white index cards using big enough letters so that I can read them from the throne if they are on the floor. I take them to gigs if I am subbing cold with newly learned material. It's like doing my homework and being prepared for class..they really help me when I need them.
Once you start deconstructing songs, you'll see common arrangement patterns repeated a lot. It's just a listening/analyzing/notating exercise, deconstructing a song.
Try imitating the song as best you can for now is my suggestion. That's the drum part that worked.
