Drummers: What is Bass-Snare-bass-bass-Snare (Repeat)?

[MrScorpio]

Does it have a name?

I think this the most perfect of drum routines

1. He's playing a pretty basic 8th note rock drum groove...

...8th notes ("1 2 3 4") on the hi-hat, kick on the "1 & 3-and" while the snare is on the "2" and the "4."

For example, counted like this "one and two and three and four and...":

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
x    x    x    x     = hi-hat
x         x x        = kick
     x          x    = snare

I think this the most perfect of drum routines

"Empires" have been built on the foundation of that pattern...

2. Any idea who invented it?

It's standard in a lot of hip hop too

4. It was probably...

..."in the air" at some point in time.

3. No name, it will vary because of backbeats and accents. Do you drum?

5. Despite my love of music and the internet radio show that I DJ

I have no other musical skills

I can't play any instruments or sing to save my life

Despite that, music is my sanctuary, music is my life

6. You've got great eclectic taste, I listened to some of them in the past few years bro.

:thumbsup:

7. I guess it's a benefit of listening to EVERYTHING

I know what I like without regard to genre
