Shots Fired, Crowd Wired

This drumline arrangement of “Shots” by LMFAO & Lil Jon delivers pure party energy in a stadium-ready format.

Built for max hype and minimal prep, it turns one of the most recognizable crowd chants in pop culture into a full-battery jam.

Tenors throw down the synth melody, snares ride the backbeat, basses drive the pulse with punchy splits, and cymbals do what they do best—lead the room with attitude.

The result? Instant chant. Instant buy-in. Instant chaos (in the best way).

This groove is short, bold, and totally loopable.

And once your drumline hits that first accent, everyone within earshot will know what time it is.

Tempo

Sits at 128 bpm—a sweet spot for energy and control. It’s fast enough to excite but slow enough to teach and clean.

Rudiments

Hertas, diddles, flams, and accented rolls appear throughout, especially in snare and tenor voices. Requires comfort with layered rudiments and dynamic shifts.

Stickings

Written stickings are essential for flow and voicing clarity. Players must manage quick hand switches, layered dynamics, and consistent flow across ensemble parts.

Rhythm / Syncopation

Rhythms are heavily tied to the chantable vocal line and include ensemble syncopation and offbeat entries. Must be locked in tightly across sections for impact.

Snare Complexity

Demands precise articulation and rebound control. Combines groove-oriented phrases with layered rudiments and some exposed backbeat figures.

Tenor Complexity

Tenors carry the lead voice and play wide-motion passages, including sweep strokes, accented doubles, and frequent use of multiple zones. Demands visual energy and musicality.

Bass Complexity

Contains aggressive multi-drum splits, quick voice handoffs, and layered rhythmic responses to the tenors. Basses must stay unified and precise across dynamic shifts.

Cymbal Complexity

Cymbals lead the visuals, with timed crashes, chokes, slides, claps, and hi-hat-style hits. Execution and timing matter more than raw chops. Visually driven.

Ensemble Coordination

High coordination needed—cymbals, snares, basses, and tenors all trade lines and callouts. Pose hits, rests, and chant moments must land exactly.

Endurance

Short form and loopable, with rests built in. Players can perform this piece multiple times with minimal fatigue, even at high energy.

Your Battery, Their Chant

“Shots” works because your drumline doesn’t need to say a word—the crowd will do it for you.

The hits line up with the chant. The rhythm builds anticipation.

And the final payoff lands like a stomp at 2am in a packed arena.

With a simple repeating form and baked-in cue points, this chart is playable by intermediate lines and teachable to younger groups.

It’s short enough to clean in one block, but strong enough to run on loop without ever getting old.

Use it in the stands, during a rally, or as a last-minute energy bump on game day.

The moment you drop the beat, it’s not just your drumline playing—it’s the whole building yelling along with you.
