[Intro - DJ Nova] No hands on the sticks. Good thing the line brought theirs. [Drumline calls] Snares, set the edge. Tenors, bend it. Basses, send it down. Cymbals... light the field. [Background cadence - battery voices under 16 bars] Set it. Bend it. Send it. Light. [Verse - DJ Nova] I shape the space between attacks. The line decides how thunder lands. I own the cue, they own the sticks. That is how the rhythm stands. [Battery response] Our hands. Your call. One count. Full line. [Hook - DJ Nova, band, and crowd] Full drumline! Whole count! DJ Nova in the mix, but the hands are yours. [Midfield vocal hits - woven through the drum feature] Snares: set. Tenors: turn. Basses: down the line. Cymbals: light. Whole count: right on time. [Break - DJ Nova, amused] I said move. They brought thunder. [Low voices - four bars] Hold it. Roll it. Let the cadence breathe. [Late hook] Full drumline! Whole count! I make room inside the mix. The hands are yours. [Outro - low voices beneath the last flam] Set it. Send it. Hold that sound. [One low horn answers the last snare flam]
