I wonder how close behind the skull snaps breaks are, they are everywhere too, its crazy how certain drums can have an unmistakeable signature that even you jacked them people will pretty much know where you got them if you leave them in their pure vinyl form...

"A YouTube video (18:08) that narrates the history of the "Amen Break," a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969. This sample was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music -- a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures..."

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! TUNE-IN NOW! :thumb:

If there is still someone with the rights of that song... he's gonna be filthy rich... I wonder James Brown got some $$$ for Funky Drummer?

They explain that shit in the vid. The owner of the publishing doesn't get shit, but alot of people make money selling the break on complilation discs and what not.
