The Amen Break | Recreating Iconic Drum Sounds

Great Gift Ideas for Drummers The 1969 song “Amen Brother“ by the Winstons is one of the most sampled tracks ever. The arrangement of the song contains a 4 bar drums-only break which is perfect for looping and sampling. In the 1980s this drum loop became the basis for countless hip-hop tracks and in the 1990s drum’n’bass producers turned up the speed of the loop and used it as a foundation for their drum’n’bass and jungle tracks. We focused on the sound of Gregory Coleman’s original drum track and how you can recreate the original and sped up version of the Amen Break on acoustic drums today. 00:00 Introduction 00:17 Amen Brother 01:05 Recreating The Original 03:06 Recreating The Sped Up Version Don’t miss any new videos.
