- Fewer instruments in the verse, more in the chorus (tap blocks on the Timeline).
- Different chords: start the chorus on a different chord from the verse.
- Higher, longer notes in the chorus; shorter, lower, more talky lines in the verse.
- A small change in the beat — an open hat or a crash at the start of the chorus.
