The Amen Break - Slow, Medium & Fast / #shorts

#shorts

This one is exactly as described, one of the most iconic drum breaks of all time - The Amen Break! Originally played by Gregory C. Coleman on a track by The Winstons called Amen Brother and then endlessly sampled, recreated and reimagined by drummers and producers! I chose 3 different tempos based on the original track and tracks or genres that have used the break! A lot of you will know this break already but, in my opinion, it's one that every drummer needs to get down! Notation below, enjoy my dudes! Alex

it's amazing how one little snippet of a song is responsible for two entire genres of music.

Slow haves such style. Medium is like a constant in a song. Fast is just the main character that makes the song hit hard and makes me want to play ultrakill.

0:00 Hip-Hop/Rap.
0:13 Getting into Drum N Bass/Jungle territory.
0:22 Now we're into Drum N Bass/Jungle territory.

I love this break so much. It's such a shame the original session drummer or The Winstons never made any money from this seminal four bars of drumbreak (the drummer Gregory Coleman died homeless and broke).
