* [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Brazilians Love Drum and Bass]]: Brazil is second only to the UK in terms of its influence and prominence in [=DnB=]. It's even developed its own locally-flavored subgenre, commonly known as sambass.

The genre eventually faded out from mainstream popularity during the late 1990's, but still lingered on here and there. Most notably, the UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube demo discs of all things prominently featured [=DnB=] soundtracks on their menus, helping introduce the genre to a new audience and giving it a new association outside of the club scene alone.

Yeesh, bad formatting. Fixing that.


Originally, [=DnB=] sounded pretty much like acid house and breakbeat hardcore, but with heavier bass and {{Reggae}} samples. Now, however, apart from the tempo, the breakbeats, and heavy emphasis on bass frequencies, there are few restrictions on what you can do within the genre. Drum and bass can be and has been combined with everything from jazz and [=RnB=} to funk, rock, and metal. Its intensity and mood can vary wildly from song to song, spanning from the lush, atmospheric sounds of LTJ Bukem to the intense, frenetic tracks of Shy FX and Pendulum.

'''Drum and bass''', also known as drum'n'bass, [=DnB=], or jungle, is a form of ElectronicMusic that first came about in England during the early 1990's.

The first thing you need to know about drum and bass is that it's fast. It isn't necessarily the fastest genre of electronic music, but the overwhelming majority of [=DnB=] is between 170 and 180 beats per minute. If a song isn't above at least 155, it's not drum and bass. The reason for this--and the second thing you need to know about [=DnB=]--is that the genre is built around breakbeats. The AmenBreak was the focal point of the genre's development, and producers have taken apart and rearranged that break in more ways than anyone can possibly count. However, it's certainly not the only break the genre has made use of.

!!Tropes associated with drum and bass
* AmenBreak
* CommonTime: For all its syncopation and intricate drumbeats, [=DnB=] is almost universally in [=4/4=].
* EverythingIsAnInstrument
* [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Brazilians Love Drum and Bass]]: Brazil is second only to the UK in terms of its influence and prominence in [=DnB=]. It's even developed its own locally-flavored subgenre, commonly known as sambass.
* SerialEscalation: The early years of the genre were a musical arms race, as people kept pushing up the tempos and complicating their breakbeats. After a while, though, the tempos settled into their current range, and nowadays the complexity of a song's breakbeats can vary wildly.
