There is cool piece on Amen break from BBC Radio 1 Extra from a few years ago:

"Kutski explores the legacy of the Amen Break and tries to track down one of the original members of The Winstons to find out how he feels about creating the most influential 6 second break in music."

Wow, I never knew about this. I spend hours trying to emulate the great hip-hop loops like this on the drums. There is a reason this break became popular, it takes talent + thousands of hours of practicing. People can inherently hear it when you play and to think a bunch of rappers can steal your music just to rap over it (a skill that takes almost no talent) really pisses me off.

a dope gesture. good on anyone who ponies up some paper clams and tosses 'em at 'em. the jungle and hiphop communities should get up, get into it and get involved.

I love drum beats that can only be described with grunts and shouts.
