Hip-Hop / Rap
Although, by the late 1970s, Hip-Hop was widely known throughout New Yorks boroughs, it did not explode on the national scene until 1979 with a small African-Amercan label from New Jersey called Sugar Hill Records.
Hip-Hop music owes much to the live drummers whose breaks were "borrowed" from their original albums, but it is also a product of new technologies like drum machines, sampling methods, and the "Beat Box" (drum sounds emulated by mouth).
As a music form, Rap and Hip-Hop is definitely here to stay, and I suggest that every DrumHead make a concentrated effort to understand it and add it to their stylistic bag of tricks.
