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...
