well that's us being in possession of the answer to the riddle of the history of the decline of jungle isn't it. why did it decline? because ultimately snares are hard work to dance to for most punters, they require a certain type of heavy-on-the-beat calibration whereas cymbals just mark, they don't really pound, rush, crinkle, syncopate, etc etc.
When I told this to droid that people couldn't dance to jungle at the big raves he sort of 'haha mate don't be silly' ridiculed me, but you look at a lot of ravers outside of london and the main crowd until jump up came around was a happy hardcore leaning thing, where the kickdrum was the forward momentum. fairly unaccented.
of course, if you're from the balkans and the middle east you don't have this problem, the downbeat on the darbuka is merely the foot, it isn't the sole augmentation.
