Worlds Most Important 60 Second Drum Loop

This is a decent watch and very interesting.


nice watch indeed …

Yes… the ever-popular Amen break. Interesting that the effect was achieved by two simple omissions of the kick drum: the first on beat 3 of the third bar, and the second on beat 1 of the fourth bar of the break, thereby throwing off the sense of rhythmic stability.



If you count carefully, you’ll notice that the snare, hat and syncopated kicks are in the same place they were in the first two bars of the break. Amazing what placing a REST on a strong beat will do to rhythmic kilter.

I only found out about this a Year or so ago. Been listening to music containing that break for 20 years and always wondered how did they do it lol



It’s fair to say its been fkn milked now. Great video

UV thinks the Amen is MUFF! :slight_smile:

I love the amen, I always try to squeeze it into my tracks but it doesnt really work…
