English term or phrase: steady downstroke

To play with that steady, rolling rhythm that the good players tend to have, a big factor is not to play on certain beats in a given measure. Which ones you don't play on, as well as which ones you do play on, gives the song its feeling, whether it's punk rock (all STEADY DOWNSTROKES on the downbeats, with only rare upstrokes), reaggae (mostly downstrokes on the 2 and 4), or whatever.
Kann mir hier jemand weiterhelfen?

bei den meisten songs spiele ich ausschliesslich downstrokes (also abschläge), ausser ich weiss/höre, dass man upstrokes spielt.
