"}70 years ago if you were writing a song to be recorded and wanted there to be a steady drum beat in it you would hire a professional drummer and bring them to a recording studio. And then drum machines were invented and suddenly you can just tell a machine to provide the best but the effect it had on music wasn\u2019t that drummers went out of business but that more people could had \u201cdrums\u201d to their songs and even if it isn\u2019t and wouldn\u2019t ever be exactly the same as using a live drummer one of the biggest impacts it had was making music much more accessible to produce and create for people that couldn\u2019t otherwise afford it but had creative ideas in their head and that\u2019s why early hip hop music has so much electronic sounds in it
