Every Drill Region, One Prompt Away
Drill music sounds different depending on where it comes from. Each region developed its own production style, flow patterns, and energy. Neume's AI captures the nuances of every variant.
UK Drill
The global standard. Intricate hi-hat patterns, ominous piano chords or string arrangements, and the iconic sliding 808 bass at 140-145 BPM. Syncopated flows that dance around the beat.
NY Drill
New York's take on the UK blueprint. Heavier vocal presence, grittier delivery, vocal chops and samples, and a rawer mix. Direct, confrontational energy.
Chicago Drill
The original. Rawer production, hard-hitting kick drums, less melodic elements, and confrontational lyrics. Stripped-back beats that put the focus on intensity.
Melodic Drill
The accessible evolution. Blends drill's rhythmic DNA with sung hooks, atmospheric pads, and emotional themes. Dark energy meets pop sensibility.

Chicago to London to Brooklyn — Drill's Global Evolution
Drill is a migratory sound: Chicago's raw minimalism, London's sliding 808 science, and New York's club-infused bounce all live inside the same core DNA.
Regional Highlights
- Chicago drill kept arrangements sparse so the rapper's menace stayed front and center.
- UK drill rebuilt the rhythm with 140 BPM bounce patterns, gliding 808s, and piano stabs.
- NY drill borrows Jersey club kicks and vocal chops for a looser, more energetic feel.
- 808 portamento, syncopated hats, and minor-key strings are the non-negotiable staples.
- Specific prompts (region, BPM, percussion, vocal tone) help Neume lock onto the sub-style you need.
Drill has crossed more borders and mutated more dramatically than any other hip-hop subgenre in the last fifteen years. What started on Chicago's South Side around 2011-2012 as raw, nihilistic street music over sparse, dark beats has become a global production language with at least three distinct regional dialects — each with its own rhythmic DNA, melodic palette, and cultural context.
Chicago drill was the origin point. Producers like Young Chop built beats around hard-hitting kicks, minimal melodic content, and aggressive energy. The tempos hovered around 130-140 BPM. The production was intentionally stripped back — the point was the rapper, not the beat. Chief Keef, Lil Durk, and King Von rode these sparse arrangements with blunt, repetitive hooks and raw vocal delivery. The 808s hit hard but stayed relatively static compared to what came later.
UK drill changed everything. London producers — 67, Headie One, the whole 150/67 wave — took the dark energy but rebuilt the rhythm from scratch. They pushed the tempo to a strict 140-145 BPM, introduced the signature bounce pattern (a syncopated kick-snare swing that feels like it is perpetually leaning forward), and made sliding 808s the centerpiece. The bass pitches bend continuously between notes using portamento, creating that liquid, almost melodic bassline movement. On top, dark piano chords in minor keys and intricate hi-hat patterns with ghost notes and off-beat accents. The UK template became the global standard.
New York drill — popularized by Pop Smoke, Fivio Foreign, Kay Flock — took the UK blueprint but added East Coast swagger. The BPM can dip slightly to 138-140, the drums hit harder, and there is often a Jersey club-style bouncy kick drum that adds extra propulsion. Vocal samples, chopped choir stabs, and more obvious hook structures make NY drill feel more cinematic.
Prompting for drill is all about specificity. Mention the region (UK, NY, Chicago), the bass behavior (long sliding 808s vs short punchy stabs), the melodic instrument (detuned piano, eerie strings, choir stabs), and the energy level of the vocal delivery. Add the BPM (142 BPM is the universal sweet spot) and Neume's AI returns a finished track with the exact aggression you're aiming for.
