bass drops
Subwoofer's dramatic moments
A bass drop is the moment in electronic dance music when a building intensity suddenly releases into heavy, low-frequency sound.
The anticipation—often a rising synth or silence—makes the impact more dramatic.
DJs and producers engineer bass drops as climactic payoffs: The crowd went wild when the bass dropped.
The phrase wait for it often precedes one.
