Drum Sheet – Pink – U And Ur Hand

“U + Ur Hand” by Pink is a fiery, attitude-packed anthem from her 2006 album I’m Not Dead. The song, co-written by Pink, Max Martin, and Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald, was crafted as a bold rejection of unwanted male attention in clubs. Musically, it’s driven by an energetic mix of pop-punk and dance-rock, with hard-hitting drum work that gives it a powerful, rebellious feel.

The track was recorded in 2005, during Pink’s collaboration with Max Martin, a Swedish hitmaker known for shaping some of the biggest pop-rock anthems of the 2000s. This was one of her first songs with Martin, and their sessions resulted in multiple hits for I’m Not Dead. Dr. Luke, who also co-produced, infused the track with punchy guitar riffs and electronic elements, but the drumming remained the backbone of its raw energy.

The drum track, likely programmed and layered over live takes, features:
– A tight, aggressive snare that cuts through the mix.
– A pounding kick drum locking in with the bassline.
– Sharp hi-hats and crashes adding tension before each chorus explodes.

The verse groove stays steady and bouncy, letting Pink’s sarcastic lyrics shine, but the chorus erupts with big, anthemic drum hits, creating a stadium-ready energy.

“U + Ur Hand” became a live staple during Pink’s concerts. Some of the most memorable performances include:
– I’m Not Dead Tour (2006-2007) – The song was played with a harder rock edge, featuring live drums that hit even harder than the studio version.
– Funhouse Tour (2009) – Pink performed it with an acrobatic routine, proving her signature mix of rock energy and theatricality.
– Summer Carnival Tours (2010s) – The song became a crowd-favorite, always igniting huge audience reactions.

Drummers appreciate “U + Ur Hand” for its relentless drive and tight, punchy feel, a perfect example of how rock drums can elevate a pop song. Its blend of precision and power makes it a favorite for both air drummers and pros looking for a high-energy, no-nonsense beat to play along to.
