    If I understand it, hard house is nothing but a kick drum and only a kick
    drum banging away for 3-4 hours, right? If they've already classified some
    forms of dance music "IDM" then hard house should be considered "DDM" :)

    Well, you can try to combine broken beat and hard house, but only the
    broken beat people might appreciate it. It's too musically complex for the
    hard house fans...Their mental capacity is unable to understand things like
    chords or basslines or even snare drums...

    UNIVERSAL TRUTH #107317: If a band has the word "soul" in their name,
    chances are they do NOT play soul music.
