There are many solid Christians and many people who study out music who believe the rock backbeat IS evil in itself.

Drums aren't evil (Psalm 150).

Sorry, don't see drums in the Bible. A timbrel is the same as a tambourine.

Calling a style of music or a musical instrument evil is like calling a specific kind of hammer evil. Every kind of hammer can either build or destroy (and even kill). But the blame or accolades should be placed on the person using the hammer and not the hammer itself. The same with music.

Faulty analogy - a good comparison would be saying no notes in themselves are evil - but to teach that no style of music is evil in itself is not right. There is worldly/fleshly music.
