backbeat
Backbeat is a term used in music production that refers to a rhythmic accentuation on the beats counted as "two" and "four" in a 4/4 time signature, often highlighted by the snare or other percussive instrument. This is common in various forms of popular music, especially rock, R&B, and funk. It typically provides a consistent and steady rhythmic pattern that drives the music and provides a foundation for the other instruments to build upon.
