lousy. be sure to check it later. in the meantime here is a wikipedia entry on the break: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amen_break
the video (which is actually just audio mostly) is better though.

i bet i could narrow it down to 3 or 4 that it might be..

but that's cool info. i'm a percussionist at heart, beats are my thing. i mean, i don't make em, i just appreciate good ones, lol.

youtube shit is loading slow as hell today here at work...we basically have a freakin' ISP in house too so that makes it extra weird

Very cool. As soon as I heard the sample I recognized it. It is used often.

The narrator sounds like the computer voice in Windows Narrator.

 

[Coqui]

As a percussionist myself, I can safely say, I've never used the Amen break in my life.

He sampled the voice of the Windows Narrator in order to make this recording. No royalties were paid to Microsoft for it.

He has a very dull voice. Good thing the content was interesting enough.

The Amen break is one of the first beats I learned to play on a drum set after a standard rock beat. I can't believe Coqui has never used it. Hard to get around in pop culture without coming across it somewhere.

I've heard it plenty of times, but I tend to be very music driven in how I play (i.e. the synchopations in the lyrics/notes tends to affect the bass drum for me)

1st song I ever played on the drum set was We Got the Beat by the Bangles.
