The Show Must go on – Queen

Armin

Liam

On “With or Without you”  the song is a constant layering and building throughout the tune, culminating to a “fortississimo.”  That means bang as hard as you possibly can while still keeping time.  I cannot stress enough how big we need the drums to get for the last chorus, or the song just doesn’t work.

“The show must go on” is another song that, while not crazy complicated parts, needs to get HUGE when the chorus comes in.  The crack of the snare needs to be tight and powerful!

For “With or Without You” , start the verse in the higher octave.  Still watch not to push that verse too hard, so we have dynamic headroom.
