More about this title
About the Composer: Tommy Lee
Tommy Lee is the percussionist and co-founder of Mötley Crüe, the influential heavy metal band that emerged from Los Angeles in the 1980s. Beyond his work as a drummer, Lee has demonstrated substantial arranging and compositional knowledge, contributing to the sonic identity of some of rock's most recognizable recordings. His understanding of rhythm, groove, and instrumental texture translates directly into music that works well for student ensembles.
Why we love this
This arrangement captures everything that makes Mötley Crüe's original magnetic without overloading a developing band. Doug Adams has engineered the block voicings and percussion parts to sit naturally in a Grade 2 ensemble, giving students immediate gratification while keeping the chart rehearsable within a season. The result is the kind of stand-time repertoire that makes students want to come to rehearsal.
What to expect
Hard-hitting and propulsive, with heavy block harmonies that drive forward like an engine. The arrangement bristles with attitude and swagger, delivering the kind of aggressive groove that made the original unforgettable while staying true to what makes rock exciting.
Who it's for
Marching bands at the Grade 2 level looking for contemporary repertoire that engages students while remaining accessible. This chart works best for bands with solid fundamental percussion and a brass section ready to nail rhythmic figures and unison licks.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock the snare drum and bass drum lines together from the start. The percussion drives the energy of this chart, so establishing that foundation early in rehearsals pays dividends across the entire band.
- Keep the brass licks crisp and articulate. The appeal of this arrangement hinges on clean tonguing and rhythmic precision in the horn parts, especially during the signature riffs.
- Balance your block scoring by checking the individual voice weights. With tutti passages throughout, ensure that no single section drowns out the harmonic foundation.
- Communicate the groove to your marchers from day one. This is a rock chart, not a march, so the feel and energy matter as much as note accuracy.
How to use it
Program this as a midseason or closer to give audiences a change of pace and show off your band's ability to execute contemporary material with energy. It pairs well alongside classic marching band fare, signaling to students and judges that your program embraces the full spectrum of band literature.
