Description of drum and bass music
Drum and bass (commonly abbreviated as D&B) is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in the early 1990s in the United Kingdom. It features fast, syncopated breakbeats, heavy basslines, and chopped-up, often heavily processed samples. Drum and bass is typically played at high tempos, with typical beats-per-minute (BPM) ranging from 160 to 180, although some subgenres may be slower or faster. The genre has a complex rhythmic structure and often incorporates elements of jazz, funk, and other genres. Drum and bass has enjoyed worldwide popularity since the mid-1990s and continues to evolve and diversify with the influence of various subgenres and regional scenes.
