Amen Break
The Amen Break is a 6 second drum solo taken from the track “Amen, Brother” by The Winstons (1969). It became one of the most iconic and widely used samples in music history. Especially in genres like hip-hop, jungle, breakbeat, drum and bass, and more. Sliced, rearranged, and endlessly transformed, it’s a cornerstone of sampling culture and has left a lasting impact on electronic music.
