At the core of the Drum & Bass two-step is a sparse, driving skeleton.
Unlike traditional breakbeats, the two-step keeps the second beat open. We place the Kicks (row 0) on steps 1 and 11 (positions 0 and 10), and the backbeat Snares (row 1) on steps 5 and 13 (positions 4 and 12).
Press play to hear the basic stepping energy at 172 BPM.
