War Drums Battle Percussion Cue Track

Three minutes of bright, fast battle percussion with a busy layered surface and a moderate dynamic range — drums doing nearly all the work, with minimal melodic content.

For battle and march sequences, historical and military footage, sports entrances and hype intros. Because there is almost no melody, it sits under dialogue and sound effects without clashing.

A hundred and fifty-two beats per minute, the fastest tempo on the album. It is also the only one of the eleven with no detectable key at all: the drums carry so much of it that the analysis finds nothing stable to name, which is precisely the point.
