I came across a video of what was supposed to be the "Best Drop Ever" from Carl Cox, and then Skrillex. Horrible stuff with all the subtlety of a slap on the back. "Oi mate, here's the beat."
The 'Drop' in case you don't go near certain types of dance music, is the moment the beat kicks back in after a floaty, beatless period of chords or other music designed a) to give the dancers a rest, and b) to make them wait for the beat so they appreciate it more. 'Bangers' hardly ever have drops, or if they do, the floaty bit is very short.
The longest build-up and deepest drop I know is not by a DJ at all. Not even The Great Digweed has matched the drop on this track. I play this over headphones at work, and it's just plain awesome.
