neg: 4-beat 4-beat ( also known as hardcore or happy hardcore ) is a breakbeat style of music that emerged around 1993 . It evolved from breakbeat hardcore emanating from the United Kingdom rave scene . Due to the sheer scale of the United Kingdom rave scene , the popularity of this particular music was largely limited to England where it was almost exclusively produced and played .   Breakbeat hardcore was originally referred to as hardcore by ravers in England . As such , this evolved style was also alternatively known as hardcore or happy hardcore -- the latter meaning a happier variant of this breakbeat styled hardcore , thus happy hardcore ( i.e. happy breakbeat ) . Darkcore was the short lived counter-movement to happy that occurred at the same time .   The name happy hardcore should not be confused with other things that are also referred to as happy hardcore , as that term is much shared across the world to describe different sounding things that have their own development .   Also in this article , 4-beat is not a musical term commonly used to describe a drum beat time signature found in most types of modern music , but is rather a specific name used to describe a breakbeat music style .

neg: Rimshot A rimshot is a percussion technique used to produce an accented snare drum backbeat . The sound is produced by simultaneously hitting the rim and head of a drum with a drum stick : `` the sound is part normal snare and part loud , woody accent , '' `` generally sharper , brighter and more cutting , '' as this produces large amounts of overtones . The stroke is used on the snare in rock , pop , and blues and on the tom-toms in Afro-Cuban music and reggae .   In marching percussion there are three types of rimshots . The most common is the `` normal '' rimshot , which is played with the tip ( bead ) of the stick held about three inches from the rim . This produces a prominent , accented tone . The second is the `` ping shot '' , where the bead is struck about one inch from the rim . This produces a high pitched sound . The third is a `` gock '' , which is produced by hitting the bead of the drum stick at the center of the drum while the rim is percussed with the distal shaft of the stick ( near the hand ) . This makes a lower sound .   In Latin percussion , timbale players use rimshots near the edge of the head , but these sound very different from gocks in marching percussion .   In orchestral percussion , a rimshot is performed by placing one drum stick with the stick head near the middle of the drumhead , and the shaft pressed against the rim , and striking with the other stick . This produces a less powerful , but more precise and accurate rimshot than its marching cousin . This is known as a `` stick shot '' .   The rimshot should not be confused with the cross stick technique , in which the tip of a drumstick is placed on the head near one of the bearing edges and the shaft of the stick is struck against the rim opposite the tip , thus creating a dry , high pitched `` click '' similar to a set of claves . The stroke is used to simulate claves in Brazilian bossa nova and also used for ballads in rock , pop , and country .   Drummer Gene Krupa is credited with having invented the rimshot .

neg: Cool Hand Luke Cool Hand Luke is a 1967 American prison drama film directed by Stuart Rosenberg , starring Paul Newman and featuring George Kennedy in an Oscar-winning performance . Newman stars in the title role as Luke , a prisoner in a Florida prison camp who refuses to submit to the system .   The film , set in the early 1950s , is based on Donn Pearce 's 1965 novel of the same name . Pearce sold the story to Warner Bros. , who then hired him to write the script . Due to Pearce 's lack of film experience , the studio added Frank Pierson to rework the screenplay . Newman 's biographer Marie Edelman Borden states that the `` tough , honest '' script drew together threads from earlier movies , especially Hombre , Newman 's earlier film of 1967 . The film has been cited by Roger Ebert as an anti-establishment film which was shot during the time of the Vietnam War , in which Newman 's character endures `` physical punishment , psychological cruelty , hopelessness and equal parts of sadism and masochism . '' His influence on his prison mates and the torture that he endures is compared to that of Jesus , and Christian symbolism is used throughout the film , culminating in a photograph superimposed over crossroads at the end of the film in comparison to the crucifixion . Filming took place on the San Joaquin River Delta , and the set , imitating a southern prison farm , was built in Stockton , California . The filmmakers sent a crew to Tavares Road Prison in Tavares , Florida , to take photographs and measurements .   Upon its release , Cool Hand Luke received favorable reviews and became a box-office success . The film cemented Newman 's status as one of the era 's top box-office actors , while the film was described as the `` touchstone of an era . '' Newman was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor , George Kennedy won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor , Pearce and Pierson were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay , and the score by Lalo Schifrin was also nominated for the Best Original Score . In 2005 , the United States Library of Congress selected it for the National Film Registry , considering it to be `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant . '' It has a 100 % rating on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes . The quotation used by the prison warden ( Strother Martin ) in the film , which begins with `` What we 've got here is failure to communicate , '' was listed at No. 11 on the American Film Institute 's list of the 100 most memorable movie lines .

neg: The Brewhouse Theatre & Arts Centre The Brewhouse Theatre and Arts Centre ( or The Brewhouse ) is the largest theatre and arts centre in Taunton , a town in Somerset , England .   The building opened 28 March 1977 , on the banks of the River Tone , and offers a 350-seat auditorium and supporting studio and exhibition spaces . Its first professional production was Alan Ayckbourn 's The Norman Conquests , starring the then unknown David Jason .   The administrative offices are on the first floor of a Georgian Grade II listed building which gives the theatre its name .   In 2005 , Arts Council England announced that it would cut regular funding to The Brewhouse from 2006 , following a drop in artistic output . In September 2005 a new director Robert Miles was appointed to lead the artistic reinvigoration of the organisation , which now plays host to experimental theatre companies such as DEREVO , and No Fit State Circus . It was also the first theatre , apart from the Royal Court Theatre , to stage Caryl Churchill 's controversial play Seven Jewish Children .   In 2009 , ongoing under funding , combined with the impact of recession and a subsequent threat of cuts meant the venue was once again put under threat of closure . With support from its stakeholders The Brewhouse overcame these immediate funding concerns , and in March 2010 it was announced that the organisation had been awarded # 487,500 from Arts Council England 's Sustain fund to allow it to continue to programme arts and participatory activities during the economic downturn .   A feasibility study by ArtsService recommends the current site be expanded to create a 600 - to 750-seat auditorium , a larger gallery space and arthouse cinema with improved bar and catering provision as part of a new `` Coal Orchard '' - Taunton 's cultural quarter .   The venue closed in February 2013 and went into administration .   The venue reopened in April 2014 by the Taunton Theatre Association ( TTA ) , having been granted the lease from Taunton Deane Borough Council , who bought the 61-year lease of the site and its contents from administrator BDO .

neg: The Round The Round was a theatre-in-the-round in the Ouseburn Valley , Newcastle upon Tyne , England . The region 's first theatre-in-the-round , it specialised in theatre for children and young people . The Round opened in September 2007 , and was home to the Bruvvers Theatre Company .   The building in which The Round was housed is a former flax mill designed by John Dobson in 1848 . The 180-seat theatre slotted behind a listed facade in a courtyard space between warehouses on Lime Street .   The Round was conceived by the Bruvvers Theatre Company artistic director Mike Mould who bought the derelict Cluny building in 1982 with the intention of creating a theatre within its walls . In 2005 , Mould sent a letter to his friends asking each to donate # 1 to help fund the cost of building the theatre . Bruvvers director and television scriptwriter Julie Blackie suggested alternative methods of fundraising .   The theatre had one wall with a fixed block of 40 seats and three balconies , with the remaining seats moveable according to the needs of each production According to the company , there was `` one main route onto the stage for the performers , but also a few secret passages to add an element of surprise . ''   The company filed for voluntary liquidation in May 2008 , just eight months after its launch . The Round Theatre had been built with capital funding from a consortium of parties in the Ouseburn district of Newcastle but had failed to secure funding for programming or administrative costs . Directors Jeannie Adams and Julie Blackie decided to cease trading and begin liquidation proceedings . Average houses of just 52 % fell far short of the 70 % capacity the company had budgeted to break even .
