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.

Drum parts in jazz and rock have a high degree of repetition and short length of repeated units. A lot of drum parts are variations on a few basic patterns. Prog rock drum parts are more complex, but there are often still repeated sections. This makes them easier to remember.
