A simple 8-bar jam for your high school or college drumline, with a consistent upbeat motif to keep the energy high.

Quick hit. High energy. Big sound.

This Upbeat Stadium Groove delivers maximum hype with minimal complexity—an 8-bar jam designed to get your drumline playing clean, loud, and together fast.

Built around a tight snare/tenor syncopation against grounded bass drum downbeats, this groove lives in the space between the beats.

It’s written at a comfortable 128 bpm but accents the “ands” to keep things pushing forward with bounce and attitude.

It’s the kind of beat that makes a crowd dance— perfect for third downs, pep rallies, or any moment you need the battery to hit quick and hit hard.
