the happy hardcore kids call the kick-stab pattern (solid quarter-note kicks
with even eighth-note bass/synth stabs) a "4-beat" pattern. dunno why, but
it makes no less sense than calling the drum and bass template the "two
step." esp. here in Texas :)
it seems that, in dance music, the phrase "4/4" has been in use for some
time as shorthand for "kicks on the quarter-note."
