Yeah, a drum beat is the skeleton of a layout, the pulse that tells every element when to jump or freeze. Every snare hit can push a block to the left, every hi‑hat splash nudges a line up, and a steady kick gives the whole piece breathing room. If you let the rhythm drive the grid, the design feels alive instead of just another static grid. So drop a beat, then let the colors and shapes dance to it—trust me, it cuts the stale straight‑line crap right out.
