Percussion Wave

A genre or subgenre of music that emphasizes percussion as the primary focus, often elevating drums from a background rhythmic role to a lead melodic or emotional driver. Tracks in this style use aggressive, experimental, or unconventional drum patterns—often with glitchy, distorted, or high-intensity textures. It’s less about traditional melodies and more about impact, rhythm, and raw sonic energy.

Percussion Wave tracks can be found across hyperpop, experimental rap, trap, breakcore, and even ambient—if the drums are doing the talking, it qualifies. The genre often leans on techniques like the Machine Gun Kickwave, chaotic hi-hat runs, distorted snares, and unorthodox time signatures.

Coined by artist and producer Some Rando on YouTube (handle: @SomeRandoOfficial) in 2025, it emerged as a descriptor for a new wave of beat-making where percussion is king.

This track ain’t even got a melody—it’s just pure Percussion Wave. The kicks got more plot than a Netflix drama.

Percussionist

The people at the back of the band that either have horrible lung capacity or just don’t want to actually put effort into playing a real instrument. They are usually either easily ragebaitable or just don’t really care.

Trumpet: dude percussion is so easy all yo do is hit stuff.
Percussionist 1: NO! PERCUSSION IS WAY HARDER THEN YOU THINK IT IS! IT REQUIRES A LOT OF SKILL, AND BLAH BLAH BLAH…
Percussionist 2: yeah lol.

Erotic Percussion

A sex position in which you do it in doggy style but the male is slapping her ass like an African drum. Also, like bongos.

Damn, the Erotic Percussion position got me laid last night by Starkeeesha and Le-a (Ledasha). It makes me tingle like anime and xvideos.
