What is the name of this rhythm?

Hello everyone,

There’s a rhythm that I like but I’m not all too familiar with its name. Here are some examples:

Doechii TinyDesk concert: youtu.be/-91vymvIH0c (22:56)
DRUM GO DUM by KDA: youtu.be/VLE6Y1q13qE (2:53)
Replay by Landon Conrath: youtu.be/m55UdZh4xXg (0:23)

It could be that they’re not related at all and I just like hearing double time, but I think I’ve heard the term DnB before, but I’ve never had it properly defined. Thanks!

These are all fast breakbeat rhythms. Drum and bass music is generally broken beats (as in not 4-to-the-floor) in 160-200 bpm tempo range with emphasis on drum and bass elements. There are a lot of subgenres with specific nuances.

  Haha I figured it’d be more conplicated than I thought
  
  How are broken beats different from normal beats in percussion? Is it like stopping the snare from ringing so it gives that bare sort of sound?

I would say the first beat is jungle, the second is drum’n’bass and the third some kind of breakbeat. They are all kind of similar. I found this video that might explain it better than me.

  Wow, thanks! That video was really great, I do kinda like the breakcore sound, hope it doesn’t stay a meme genre (or as he says in the video) :)

    Just stumbled upon a deep dive into DnB subgenres. Have fun :)
