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.

Get the Dickerson Percussion mug.This is my parody of the infamous "Procession Controversy," which split The Church, to two parts, the Catholic, and The Orthodox. This is before a third split, appeared in the 16th Century, when The Protestant Church appeared. Note Orthodox, and Protestants, hate The Catholic Church, which is horrible. Why can't all Christians get along? The Apocryphal Gnostic Acts of John, says Jesus's disciples, danced around Jesus, but doesn't say what direction, whether it was clockwise, or counter-clockwise.
The Precession Controversy, could have split the early Gnostic Church, into two parts, The Clockwise Church, and the Counterclockwise Church. The Clockwise Church, says Jesus's disciples, danced around him, clockwise. The Counter-clockwise Church, says they danced around him, counter-clockwise. They even can be a Simultaneous Church, which says half, danced around Jesus clockwise, while the other, danced around him counter-clockwise.
