Suno prompts for Drum & Bass.
174 BPM precision — liquid rollers to neurofunk
DnB prompts must pick a lane: liquid (soulful, rolling), jump-up (bouncy, cheeky bass), or neurofunk (technical, aggressive). Suno needs the drum character described precisely — "crisp two-step break with ghost-note snares" — and the bass design named as the defining element.
The key insight: Always state 174 BPM explicitly and describe the break style. "Drum and bass" without sub-genre gets you a confused halftime hybrid.

Prompting tips for drum & bass
Name the break style: two-step, amen, or halftime — this defines the whole track.
Hospital Records = liquid; RAM = mainstream; Critical = deeper/neuro.
For neurofunk, swap warmth language for "surgical", "modulated", "aggressive".
