It is nowadays difficult to find a person who does not know of drum'n'bass or hip-hop, but how many of you actually know its roots?
Video explains the world's most important 6-sec drum loopThis video explains it all in a simple manner and gives you a vivid vision of the particular break which might be known to some as the 'Amen Break'. It is so commonly used that you probably wouldn't tell it is a sampled and eventually sliced piece of drum break! Rather, it grew into our subconsciousness as nothing more than a drum pattern, without us even knowing where it hails from. If you ponder upon it, you will find it incredible that a whole subculture, and all which derives from it, is based on variations of a 6 second drum loop. If you're interested in what the DNA of the music you listen to on a daily basis is, I suggest you watch this video. I myself was pretty amazed about this particular bit of information. Cheers.
