More about this title
About the Composer: Lars Ulrich
Lars Ulrich co-founded Metallica in 1981 and has served as the band's drummer and primary creative force throughout their four-decade career. His approach to percussion emphasizes rhythmic precision and dynamic control, qualities that have defined metal drumming for generations of musicians.
Why we love this
Roger Holmes captures the raw energy of one of metal's most recognizable riffs while keeping the arrangement accessible for Grade 3 ensembles. The inclusion of alternative parts for bands without guitar means you can program this crowd pleaser regardless of your instrumentation, and the orchestration preserves every essential hook that makes the original unforgettable.
What to expect
Heavy, driving, and unapologetically bold. The arrangement channels that metal intensity while giving each section something to sink their teeth into, creating an experience that feels both familiar to modern ears and freshly exciting in a concert setting.
Who it's for
Jazz ensembles looking to program contemporary material that students actually recognize and feel invested in playing. This works equally well for concert bands with jazz elements, combos seeking a full ensemble feature, or any director wanting to bridge the gap between classical training and popular music.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock in the kick drum and bass line first; this arrangement lives or dies on that foundation staying rock solid throughout.
- Balance the melody between the featured guitarist and supporting saxes so the iconic riff cuts through without overshadowing the ensemble's contribution.
- Push the tempo into that aggressive pocket that makes the original feel dangerous; rushing or dragging will flatten the impact entirely.
- Let the rhythm section breathe during any quieter moments; dynamics are what transform a fun tune into a genuinely compelling performance.
How to use it
Close out a pops concert with maximum energy, or use it as an intermission piece to reset the room's mood after something classical. It pairs beautifully in a program that celebrates rock history or demonstrates how jazz arranging techniques apply across genre lines.
Skills your students will build
- Executing riffs with precision while maintaining ensemble blend
- Reading and playing rock rhythms in a jazz ensemble context
- Balancing featured and supporting parts in an arrangement
- Articulation and phrasing for contemporary, non-classical material
