| | Amen break - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Amen break's popularity probably lies in both the rough, funky, compressed style that the drums are recorded in as well as the "swing" and "groove" of the drummer who originally played the solo. | | | It consists of 16 beats of the drum break lifted from the song "Amen, Brother" as performed by the 1960s funk/soul outfit The Winstons. | | | Listing of some tracks that sample the Amen break |

| | Amen are not only the angriest bands on the scene, they are also one of the most violent, honest, and yet humble bands to hit the scene in a long time. | | | When the album was finished, and Amen looked forward to a release of the album, but Virgin decided to drop the band because they were not 'commercial enough'. | | | But even though the legal issue is still pending, Virgin only agreed to release Amen and let them have their recorded songs, if they paid the $200, 000 cost of recording the record, which Amen simply do not have. |

| | The "Amen Break" is four bars of the drum break lifted from the song "Amen Brother" as performed by the 1960s funk/soul outfit The Winstons. | | | The song is an uptempo, instrumental rendition of the gospel music classic "Amen". | | | It is unknown, but doubtful, whether the drummer, G.C. Coleman, has received any royalties for the sampling of his drum part. |

| | What I’ve never realized all these years is that the drum break from “Amen Brother” is the second most famous drum break of all time (Number one is “Funky Drummer“). | | | The Amen break is perhaps best known from NWA& “Straight Outta Compton,” but it was also used in almost every drums ‘n’ bass track ever made. | | | Here’s the original song: “Amen Brother.” The break starts at 1:26 and lasts seven seconds. |

| | TUBA CITY: These Are The Breaks |
| | Long after recording a "difficult listening" album for ESP and shortly before composing the theme to Taxi, Bob James released a series of numerically titled CTI albums that would later be sampled on a ridiculous number of hip-hop records. | | | Incidentally, the song's guitar hook (not used on my track) was sampled for LL Cool J's "Jingling Baby". | | | "Funky Drummer" is definitely the more classic break, but it was way too slow to match up with the Sonny & Cher song, so I used a similarly inclined "James Brown grunts over Clyde Stubblefield drums" section from this speedier JB jam. |
