ok so im a kind of a starter drummer
but i want to learn new stuff all the time
and this is one of them..
so if you please explain to me what is ?
and ive heard that it has something to do with jungle beats..
and jungle beat i know how it sounds and looks but what is the diffrence between that and "drum and bass"?

thanks much dor44

Ahaha. DnB.

I personally have a hard time explaining the stuff, but look up guys like KJ Sawka and Jojo Mayer. Johnny Rabb could work too, but he's not as DnB/Jungle oriented as the former two.
The Amen Break is supposedly where the whole Drum and Bass thing started.

This is the vid that explains it.

jungle beats started off of one beat "the almen break"... look up "the most important 6 seconds in music" it starts off with a record player. this gui goes into detail on how house music, and jungle breaks came to be... how entire sub cultures came to be. all off of 6 seconds

SORRY I TYPE IN CAPS, ITS FOR MY WORK

drum and bass beats are not always based on sampled breaks at this point. much of it uses completely synthesized sounds, even down to the drum hits. it's broadened (and also narrowed too in some ways).

basically, if it's 160-190 bpm, has a breakbeat in it (the bass drum is not hitting on 1 2 3 4 or 1 3, but rather some syncopated pattern)...it can probably be called drum and bass.

there's a LOT of subgenres, but I tend to be kind of a generalist, although a lot of the newer british "pop" drum and bass kind of drives me up the wall.

anyway, check out Remarc, Black Sun Empire, John B, Evol Intent, Noisia, Soundmurderer, Amen Andrews, LTJ Bukem, General Malice, Phace, Teebee, SolID, Autumn...that's a pretty good spread of different drum and bass styles there. Every last one of those artists will sound different than the next.
