The drum and bass pace
At 170 BPM producers can make the drums sound frantic while the bass and pads move at 85, half the speed. That is why the same track works for fast action and calm, moody scenes. Drum and bass grew out of UK jungle in the early 1990s, and 170 is one of its classic speeds. Liquid styles add soft pads and piano, while darker styles bring heavy, twisting bass.
