Afro Pop Type

Afrobeat is a music genre that combines aspects of West African musical forms such as fuji music and highlife with influences from American jazz and later soul and funk, with a focus on chanted vocals, complex overlapping rhythms, and percussion.

Big Rock Type

Big beat is an electronic music genre that is similar to acid house/techno in that it uses powerful breakbeats and synthesizer-generated loops and rhythms. With the popular success of groups like The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, and Fatboy Slim in the 1990s and early 2000s, big beat became mainstream.

Boom Bap Type 

Boom Bap is a hip hop style/sub-genre defined by hard-hitting drums, which often consist of the kick drum/snare drum/hi-hat combination rather than claps, snaps, TR-808 bass drums, cowbells, shakers, and other percussion sounds.

Bossa Nova Type

Bossa nova is a kind of music created by Rio de Janeiro's young, middle-class residents around the end of the 1950s. It has a distinct jazz flavor to it, as well as an odd, rhythmic pace with lyrics that praise beauty and love.

Dilla Type

Dilla's music – full of lush, absolutely distinctive drum sounds, warm, muzzy orchestration, and constantly imaginative melodies was so popular by the time he was in his early twenties.

House Type

House is an electronic dance music genre distinguished by a four-on-the-floor rhythm and a typical pace of 120 to 130 beats per minute. House has had a significant influence on pop music, particularly dance music.

James Brown Type

In the late 1960s, James Brown's band popularized the "funk rhythm" and modern street funk. Traditional rhythm and blues stressed the backbeat, whereas the funk beat was a powerfully syncopated, aggressive rhythm that put a strong pulse on the first note of the musical measure (“on the one”) (the second and fourth beats of the measure).

Jazzy Type

Jazz is a diverse musical genre marked by intricate harmonies, syncopated rhythms, and a strong emphasis on improvisation. In the early twentieth century, black musicians in New Orleans, Louisiana, created the jazz style.

Old School Type

Old-school hip hop is the first professionally recorded hip hop music, as well as the genre's initial style. It usually refers to music made between 1979 and 1983, as well as any hip hop that does not follow current trends.

Reggae Type

Reggae has a lot of off-beat rhythms in it. On the off-beats (also known as upbeats) of a measure, these are frequently staccato beats played by a guitar or piano (often both). Most reggae music has a 'jumpy' quality to it as a result of this. The majority of reggae bass sections consist of a series of riffs (melodic patterns) with frequent octave jumps.

Reggaeton Type

The term "reggaeton," which is defined by the dembow beat, became popular in the early 2000s. It was first used to define a unique mix of Puerto Rican music in Puerto Rico. Reggaeton is a popular music genre in Latin America right now.

Rock Type

This pattern is known as the backbone that articulates the 'beat'- in the larger sense- for the listener, and the terms 'beat,' 'drum beat,' and 'rock beat' are often used interchangeably to refer to it (and the rest of the band).

Soul Type

Soul music is a popular music genre that began in the African-American community based on a specific kind of soul music with a heavy beat and a quick tempo.

Straight Type

The beat is divided into equal subdivisions (a ratio of 1:1) for playing notes in straight timing.

Fast Samba Type

Samba contributed new rhythms, melodies, and thematic elements to the dance. Its rhythmic alteration, based on a new percussive instrumental pattern, resulted in a more "batucado" and syncopated style – as opposed to the original "samba-maxixe" – marked by a faster pace, longer notes, and a characterized cadence considerably beyond the simple palms used previously.
