15	●	○	●	○	○	○	○	○	●	○	●	○		This is the go-to beat for countless rock songs because it drives the music forward with a strong, steady pulse that listeners instinctively recognize. The emphasis on the backbeat (snare on 2 and 4) makes it feel energetic and powerful, giving guitar riffs and vocals a solid foundation to sit on.

55	●	○	●	○	○	○	○	○	●	○	●	○		Amen Brother – The Winstons (1969): Gregory Coleman’s six-second solo is the Amen Break, the most influential drum sample ever. In hip-hop (around 85 bpm) it showed up with NWA and Salt-N-Pepa, but in EDM it became the backbone of jungle and drum and bass (around 170 bpm), driving tracks by Goldie, LTJ Bukem, Dillinja, The Prodigy, Squarepusher, Noisia, and many more.

Used in hip-hop by Sugarhill Gang, Nas, and Missy Elliott, it also became a rave and big beat classic for The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, and Freestylers, while jungle DJs mashed it with the Amen to create frantic dancefloor energy.
