It's that Phil Spector Beat. Kick...Kick Kick SNARE!
It's the iconic opening rhythm to The Ronette's ageless hit "Be My Baby."
You can thank legendary session drummer and member of the Wrecking Crew Hal Blaine for that beat.
And, apparently, according to Hal, it was supposed to be slightly different:
"That famous drum intro was an accident. I was supposed to play the snare on the second beat as well as the fourth, but I dropped a stick. Being the faker I was in those days, I left the mistake in and it became: “Bum-ba-bum-BOOM!” And soon everyone wanted that beat. "
And from that 1963 hit, a musical trope was born. And it's appeared on hundreds of records spanning every decade since.
So, here you go, have some more of that mistake turned magic.
