Pop Songs 🤝 Drumline

Pop songs are built for hooks and groove. That makes them a perfect fit for drumline.

The crowd already knows the lyrics. The groove is simple enough to lock in fast.

That’s exactly what you want on the field or in the stands.

Pop songs are built to move people. We just give that movement a drumline beat.

How we Arrange Pop Song for Drumline

Tenor drums carry the melody almost every time. They double the synth line or vocal hook—sometimes both.

Basses handle the kick and bass synth. This keeps the groove feeling full and real.

Snares bring the backbeat and extra sauce. They pop out in the mix without taking over.

Cymbals are optional, since not every line has them. They add accents, but most groups don’t need them.

Everything is arranged for real-world use. Fun to play, fun to hear, and fun to watch.

Our writers been doing this for decades. We know what gets ignored and what gets cheered.

These arrangements are meant for hype. But they’re also playable by real high school lines.

They’re interesting without being over-written. No one’s getting buried in notes that don’t matter.

They work for strong lines and for directors who aren’t percussion pros. If you’re handing out music, it needs to work fast.
