Drum Samples - Analyzing Snares |
Snares are just about an essential part of most popular songs; everything you hear on the radio and nearly all songs on all CDs in the rhythm and blues and hip hop, rap and dance genres. Snare use is determined based on the type of music and the groove of the song.
Snare drum samples are usually placed on beats 2 and 4 in urban groove songs such as most hip hop.
