Drum Break Down

I must admit when “The Amen” video started playing I did not know what to expect. The first few minutes when the narrator spoke of the beat I found myself searching my brain trying to discover which beat it was talking about. If it is used so often how could I not automatically think of the sound? Once I finally heard it, of course I recognized the sound right away. But why couldn’t I think of it at first? I know this is going to start to sound like paranoid rantings but all I can think of is subliminal messaging.

It reminds me of a movie I saw once where they were putting messages into pop music so teenagers would buy certain products from a certain company. Yes it was a silly movie and it seems like a silly notion. But having this same drum beat underneath so many different types of music makes you wonder. Could it be one of the things contributing to these different style of musics success? People do tend to be drawn to things they are already familiar with. So even those rebels that think they’re different from everyone else. could be listening and attracted to the same basic things we all are.
