I've always loved the Amen Break.
I've always loved Stephen Taylor lessons.
This was one of those moments where two things come together, and it rocks.

You know the drummer who came up with the Amen Break died homeless in 2006?

NWA - Straight Outta Compton! I heard it right away as soon as you started playing the first bar.

Thank you so much for making all of these great videos.

So I've never heard of the song or the band, and I've never listened to much of that rave music you were talking about, but I use this break pretty much note-for-note so often I thought I came up with it!

Drum and Bass is absolutely my favorite music genre.

I've probably listened to thousands of hours of it.

I need to get the Amen Break down pat.

[CLoi]

Wow according to WhoSampled.com this beat has been used in 1, 722 listed tracks whereas James Brown's Funky Drummer only 1, 060. And there I was thinking that was the most sampled beat ever. Thanks for the video Stephen.

Hi, I was wondering what kind of mic you are using. Your drums sound great.

[KurisuKagato]

My favorite song that uses the Amen is actually from the game Unreal Tournament '99 called "Forgone Destruction" by Michel Van Den Bos. Just listen to it. It's pretty much the best track in the game.

[tomparsons]

Great lesson just wandering if you have one on the funky drummer beat like this as well. thanks Stephen

[Lorenzo]

Do you know the "Apache" drum break by Jim Gordon?

[brandonwhite]

[Blacklightbeyblader]

My fav would have to be the jungle tune Original nutta!

[Alchaeus]

I love how Sid Wilson sampled this in the beginning of Eyeless by Slipknot.

[pinionted]

The Winstons - Amen Brother. Or the Futurama theme tune. :P

[gustavaomiojo]

That sounds familiar, although I never heard that with the name Amen Break. That's cool to know this kind of info
