Drum Patterns

Hip Hop

Popular music that emerged in the early 1970s in New York City. The genre is characterized by stylized rhythmic sounds—often built around funk grooves, electronic drum beats, and rapping, a percussive vocal delivery of rhymed poetic speech as consciousness-raising expression.
