Drum Patterns

R&B

Rhythm and blues is a genre of popular music that originated within the Black American community in the 1940s. The term was originally used by record companies to describe recordings marketed predominantly to African Americans, at a time when "rocking, jazz based music ... [with a] heavy, insistent beat" was starting to become more popular.
