What is the backbeat of a song?
A heavy rhythmic emphasis on beats 2 and 4 within a 4-beat bar. Many rock drum patterns are based around the kick (bass) drum playing on beats 1 & 3, with the snare drum sounding the backbeat on beats 2 and 4.
Why is the backbeat so popular?
The backbeat is an exceptionally prevalent form of syncopation. It is used to create rhythmic tension and anticipation, eliciting more active and participatory listening. Jazz drumming typically combines backbeats played on the hi-hat with a swung pattern on the ride cymbal.
