Bundle Drum Sheet & Drumless – Royal Republic – Venus

“Venus,” released in 2025 on Royal Republic’s album The Blastbeaters, is one of the band’s most infectious, adrenaline-filled tracks—a perfect blend of high-octane rock, tight grooves, and tongue-in-cheek swagger. What makes it stand out in the band’s catalogue is not only its punchy guitar riffs and catchy chorus, but the irresistible drumming of Per Andreasson, whose precision and explosive energy turn the song into a rhythmic powerhouse.

The birth of “Venus” began during the Blastbeaters writing sessions in Berlin. Royal Republic approached this album with the desire to return to their rawest, most playful roots. They spent long hours in rehearsal rooms experimenting with riffs, rhythmic hooks, and upbeat patterns that captured their signature mix of discipline and fun. According to interviews, the idea for “Venus” started with a tight, driving beat Per played while the band was jamming. The groove immediately inspired Adam Grahn to develop the guitar riff, and the song took shape quickly—built around the irresistible push of the drums.

In the studio, the band wanted “Venus” to feel urgent and alive, just like their concerts. Per Andreasson recorded the drum track with a combination of punchy kick patterns, high-energy snare hits, and razor-sharp hi-hat work. What makes the drumming so captivating is the balance between rock aggression and absolute precision. His fills are fast but clean, his groove steady but always spirited. The way he drives the chorus—tightening the rhythm and lifting the momentum—gives the song its jet-propelled energy. For drum enthusiasts, “Venus” is a celebration of controlled power: every hit matters, every accent is placed with intention.

For fans of the drums, “Venus” is Royal Republic at their rhythmic best. Per Andreasson’s performance shows how a drummer can elevate a song from catchy to unforgettable—fueling it with groove, precision, and unapologetic rock ’n’ roll fire.
