How to play it and where it comes from
Derived from UK drill (producers such as 808Melo) but heavier and more direct: the same half-time kick/snare with snare on 3, layered clap and an extra snare on the last sixteenth of the second bar that launches the turnaround. The 808 is more distorted and more "bouncy," with wide slides and the kick following it note for note. Triplet-group hi-hats with more frequent rolls than in UK drill. Variants: counter-snare on the "and" of 4, perc (pitched rims or toms) in triplets, 808 drop for a bar before the chorus.
