Bundle Drum Sheet & Video – Alesso – Heroes (We Could Be)

“Heroes (We Could Be)” by Alesso, featuring vocals by Tove Lo, is a perfect storm of euphoria, introspection, and power. Released in 2014, the song marked a turning point in Alesso’s sound — where festival-sized energy met real lyrical vulnerability. It wasn’t just another EDM banger with a drop; it was a moment that felt personal, cinematic, and larger than life all at once.

At the heart of that emotion is the drumming — a vital, beating core that evolves with the song’s emotional arc. The intro starts subtly, with pulsing kicks and light hi-hats that mimic a distant heartbeat. As Tove Lo’s voice glides in, raw and wistful, the drums grow in tension, guiding the listener toward the inevitable lift. Then, the drop: a thunderous, cathartic burst of toms, snares, and reverb-soaked crashes that don’t just support the melody — they launch it skyward.

What makes the drums in “Heroes” stand out is their storytelling power. Every fill feels intentional, like a gasp before a leap. The snare hits carry weight, cutting through the synth layers like declarations of intent. And in the chorus, the percussion becomes an anthem in itself — sweeping, bold, and emotionally charged.

Alesso premiered the track at Ultra Music Festival 2014, and its reception was instant — thousands of hands in the air, moved not just by the melody, but by the sheer impact of the rhythm. The song quickly became a centerpiece in his live sets at Tomorrowland, Coachella, and EDC, often reworked with extended drum intros and outros that gave drummers and rhythm lovers even more to hold onto.

At its core, “Heroes” is about believing in your own strength, even if just for one night. And the drums — with their tension, release, and cinematic scope — carry that message as much as any lyric. It’s a track that hits hard, lifts high, and stays with you long after the last beat fades.
