Found out a bit about Dembow which appears to be taking over a tad. Not sure if you will be any the wiser after reading this though!
Dem Bow
The Dem Bow riddim itself was first discovered and produced by Jamaican Dancehall DJs in the late 1980s and early 1990s. However, the original idea of Dem Bow's percussion pattern cannot be traced to any individual producer, because the riddim itself was partly influenced by mento's one drop, but also by other West Indian music such as calypso and soca, which in turn gives the dembow a pan-Caribbean nature. Steely & Clevie, creators of the Poco riddim are usually credited with the creation of the original dembow.[19]
The Dem Bow riddim was first highlighted in the song "Dem Bow" by Shabba Ranks. Dem Bow's drum and percussion pattern is created through a drum machine. The creation of the drum machine in the late 1970s revolutionized dancehall music, and many dancehall producers used these drum machines to create different dancehall riddims. Dembow's role in reggaeton is to be the basic building block, and the skeletal sketch in percussion. The dembow used in reggaeton also incorporates other different riddims such as the Bam Bam Riddim, the Hot This Year Riddim, the Poco Man Jam Riddim, the Fever Pitch Riddim, the Red Alert Riddim, Trailer Reloaded Riddim, and the Big Up Riddim, ex.Rayvon - Could You Be Love ft.Shaggy.(The name of this Riddim is to not get confused with another Riddim by the same name). As a result, different samples are often used to create Dem Bow in reggaeton.
As reggaeton continues to evolve, so does the Dem Bow riddim, and many of the newer reggaeton hits incorporate a much lighter and electrified offspring of the riddim. Examples can be heard in songs such as "Permitame" and "Pa' Que la Pases Bien"
