[Intro – Stick Clicks]
Click-click… click-click-click
LEFT! RIGHT! LEFT! RIGHT!
Boots hit hard, let the whole floor shake,
Drumline roll, make the whole place wake.
[Snare Cadence]
Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat,
Hit that rim, bring it right back.
Flam-flam, roll-roll, crack that sound,
Snare line marching, shaking the ground.
[Chant]
WHO GOT THE BEAT?
WE GOT THE BEAT!
WHO BRING THE HEAT?
WE BRING THE HEAT!
ONE-TWO! ONE-TWO-THREE!
DRUMLINE COMING—LET ’EM SEE!
[Bass Drums]
BOOM!
BOOM-BOOM!
BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!
Feel that pressure fill the room.
Low drum hit like thunder rolls,
Every single strike got control.
[Tenor Break]
Digga-digga-DUM, digga-digga-DAT,
Round the quads then bring it back.
High to low, let the sticks run wild,
Fast hands moving with a battle style.
[Cymbal Clash]
CRASH!
HEY!
CRASH-CRASH!
HEY! HEY!
Hold ’em high then choke that sound,
Stomp both feet—SHAKE THE GROUND!
[Breakdown – Stomps & Claps]
STOMP-STOMP!
CLAP!
STOMP-STOMP!
CLAP!
LEFT! RIGHT!
MOVE THAT LINE!
LOCK THAT STEP!
HOLD THAT TIME!
[Snare Battle]
RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT—FLAM!
RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT—FLAM!
ROLLLLLL—STOP!
HIT!
ROLLLLLL—STOP!
HIT!
No guitar!
No bass strings!
No keys!
No horns!
Just sticks, skins, metal, and war!
[Final Cadence]
BOOM—TAT—BOOM—TAT!
DIGGA-DIGGA—CRASH!
BOOM—BOOM—TAT-TAT-TAT!
Bring that cadence back!
LEFT! LEFT! LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT!
Hear that drumline coming next!
One last roll—let tension climb…
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…
BOOM!
CRASH!
DRUMLINE!
