Drum and bass where the drum tracks are arranged with a lot of unnatural patterns like rushes in 256th notes so that it sounds less like drums and more like glitching machinery or noise. Basically, more abstract and electronic drum and bass.

Drill was sort of a pit-stop genre tag for an evolving thing (like all categories of experimental electronic music.) There were like maybe 7 guys who ever made quantities of it in any semi-popular context (RDJ, Squarepusher, Plug, Bogdan Raczynski, The Flashbulb, Wisp, and Hrvatski all come to mind.) But, for sure, the defining aspect was the use of tonal-frequency percussion, where the drum rushes would hit at such fast rate that they could be either rhythm or melody. Straight up Amen fetishism, commonly aggressive and digital, but it can be lush as well, as demonstrated by Luke Vibert on his Plug releases. Honestly, it's almost like the capability to be warmer and more organic is what differentiates it from Breakcore, in an ideological way.
