Winds/strings have chord charts or scores in jazz and rock, and classical music uses scores for drums and percussion. How do jazz and rock drummers and percussionists chart their parts so that they play the same way each time a song is performed? I’m especially interested for prog rock, where the drum parts can be very detailed and intricate.

Drums have charts too. Some drummers use charts, some memorize. There’s a lot of repetition, so it’s mostly a combination of practice, and memorizing things like “the solo lasts 5 measures” etc. prog rock is particularly difficult, but it’s all just a combination of practice and remembering things.
