Breakbeat (sometimes breakbeats or breaks) is a term used to describe a collection of sub-genres of electronic music, usually characterized by the use of a non-straightened 4/4 drum pattern (as opposed to the steady beat of house).

7.35 min. | 4.89 user rating		 edwordless.googlepages.com This is a short clip of some practice of up-tempo Drum n Bass Breakbeat style drums. I modified the sticks with some zills for some stochastic sound, and generally play it free form. In the real world I would be using a metronome to keep things honest, but it gives you an idea of the styles I'm working on.

Timeout magazine call him 'Uberproducer', Knowledge voted him best producer in the world two years running and refer to him as 'a legend', DJ Magazine have said his label Breakbeat Kaos is a 'sonic juggernaut' and his website dogsonacid.com has for the last two years been the highest ranking music messageboard on bigboards.com. So where does Dan 'Fresh' Stein find time to make the music that (according to Mixmag) 'is almost impossible to go for thirty minutes without hearing on a drum and bass dance floor?
