Thanks for the info it's good to know I have been wrongly enjoying something for all these years.

In Silico was the worst.
[QUOTE=qwerty000;41927265]Maybe he meant that drum and bass isn't limited by the "mainstream" kick-snare style. But Pendulum pretty much made it popular, so it is kinda their style[/QUOTE]
pendulum did not make drum and bass popular. it was already a massive scene

There did introduce a shit ton of new people to it though.
Rob swire is genius.
He's the kind of person who goes for something "new and fresh" but not outrageously different.

They made the [B]kick-snare[/B] style popular.
Knife Party is something different that is good. I am ok with this happening
Started listening to pendulum after the first Motor storm game. Good to see them return.

Pendulum is a pretty bad example of DnB honestly, doesn't make them bad, just not proper DnB. When they were initially big online, fans of DnB would practically beat you with a stick if you said they were DnB for anything past Hold Your Colour (even that was a bone of convention). That being said, I think they did do something to get younger people into DnB, even if it was just by some tangential relation to the scene.

no, not really
jungle and dnb have always used repetitive drum samples, mostly amen and variations

uhm
The thing i like to do when listening to Knife Party - Bonfire, is turning up the volume when the kicks start building up to the drop (then i turn it down afterwards and delete the song because the rest sucks).
bonfire just reminds me of that scene in breaking bad

it's an absolutely terrible song though
I generally loved all their albums, and it was a really nice touch when they added in some electronic rock and lyrics to In Silico and Immersion.
[QUOTE=DiBBs27;41927079]Buddy..... It's called drum and bass.
You know, thats the type of music pendulum produces... They are a drum and bass group.
Seriously, I can't believe I just read that. lol
They are the reason this genre exploded in the early 2000s. Read up on the history of the genre that you didn't even know you were listening to.[/QUOTE]
A lot of drum and bass uses much more interesting drum rhythms, samples, and better percussion. Saying "it's called drum and bass" isn't really true.
And what? drum and bass exploded in 2000 due to pendulum? I'm afraid that's not really correct at all.
I still don't get why Kodish left Pendulum, did he have a falling out or something?
YES! a thousand times YES!

Now maybe I'll be able to see them live.

Drum and bass is only about 20 years old.
It was huge in the UK in the 90s because of heavy hitters like shy fx and goldie. Metalheadz records tore up the scene for a long time.
Pendulum brought the scene to north america where it still hasn't exactly spread like wild fire.
You don't hear dnb played on the radio in north america, and toronto happens to be the dnb rave central of canada.
Have you seen the scene here in toronto? It's not that great. It's lacking A LOT
I should know, I'm a drum and bass DJ based in toronto.

Bro, I know about drum and bass. I produce the stuff and dj at raves.
There are many types of dnb music, you cant sterotype the whole genre based on the types of percussive instrument samples used. You can however classify drum and bass based on the arrangment pattern and tempo. Regardless of how prominent that kick snare is....
As for when and how it blew up... I'm not talking about the UK and europe. I don't live there, i can only speak for the scene in north america.
In north america, the scene was COMPLETELY underground. That is by no means a massive scene....

It's weird when you think how mainstream electronic music is in the UK with acts like Nero and Chase & Status regularly getting into the top 10. Must be shit in north america.

you have no idea man, You see how theres a hospitality almost EVERY WEEK in the UK?
WE are lucky to get that once a YEAR in canada.
the scene is hurting here.

It was arguably becoming stale, Pendulums chart success with Slam definitely threw it back into the limelight. Chase & Status, DJ Fresh and Nero followed shortly.
Slam was the tune that got me into D&B, so Hold Your Colour will always be one of my favoruite albums
Shame In Silico and everything that followed was a complete pile of shite
I like In Silico. Immersion is pretty meh though.

uk charts are filled with shite too, some bigger london based genres pop up sometimes tho
imagine even caring about charts
Holy shit I am so excited for new pendulum. The band has a deep place in my musical soul.
so much hipster haters itt lol, also in silico is the best album

okay mr. i'm smarter than you
give me an example of a song that's similar to, for example, Granite, but much older, before Pendulum?
[editline]22nd August 2013[/editline]
and FYI I know my shit, I just don't listen to Pendulum anymore, they're generic

um
yes?
pendulum's music is different though
there's no amen or other popular samples present in their newer music
it's their synths, vocals and kick-snares

You got it bro, The future of dnb goes two ways.
One way is the dark eclectic heavy drum noisia style, the other way is the hi synth pads and prominent baselines with faded drums. Think new high contrast and logistics last album.
Of course you'll always get everything in between just because thats how it will always be, but the fact is as dnb gets more popular the production value is going to go way way up. More bass synths, more hi synths, WAY more modulation and side chaining on brand new synth patches, more of just about everything that is known to turn a few heads. This is simply how a gnere of music evolves.
It's already started with drum and bass' retarded step cousin 'dubstep' and the slight more fun to produce 'drumstep' subgenres.
As far as im concerned the amen break is one of the only things that make drum and bass truly a unique genre.
