The actual drummer- Gregory C Coleman, is mentioned only once in this video. From his Wikipedia page, "... Apart from sales of the original recording, Coleman never received any royalties from the widespread use of the sample.... Gregory S. Coleman died in Atlanta, Georgia, in April 2006. He was homeless, twice married and is survived by a daughter and step daughter. " Ripped off man.

Due to it being sampled so many times, the Amen Break is pretty much in the public domain. Had the Winstons defended the copyright they could have pocketed millions. However, this might have been at the expense of killing new geners of music.

As a Brit I got a lot of respect for Breakbeat, it’s stemmed a whole genre of music called Big Beat in the UK during the 90s. Artists such as The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, 808 State, The Chemical Brothers, The Future Sound of London, Bentley Rhythm Ace, Propellerheads, Pendulum, Basement Jaxx, Apollo 440, Chase & Status, and many many more (I could go on for ages) all produced songs of this genre taking heavy inspiration from Breakbeat. Of course from other styles of music too, such as acid house, jungle, and techno. It was a monumental moment in developing the still awesome (but never quite as legendary) scene of DnB in the UK today.

Jimi Hendrix has an improvised recording called Nine to the Universe where somewhere in the jam his drummer at the time Buddy Miles jumps into an Amen Brother break, It was recorded in 69 as well so I’m guessing The Winston’s influence had an impact as early as a couple months after being released! I recommend checking it out if you like Jimi and guitar feedback

You mean the despacito rhythm? Adam Neely made a great video about that

I heard it and immediately put two and two together. I’ve wanted to know what was sampled in Eyeless for a while now... and I finally know! Thanks!

Does anyone else not understand how they get all these interviews and high quality videos out daily? Is it some TV show.. where does the production budget come from???

Yeah I was thinking their production value has really went up over the last few months

Wow, I read the title and immediately thought of this breakbeat. It's just in so many good songs!

i listened to some drum n bass song on my laptop, opened youtube on my phone, and this video was recommended to me pretty much outta nowhere. i don't even watch that much great big story. cool video

god just hearing this sample gives me flashbacks to some absolutely wasted dnb parties.

I've been drumming this beat on my desk since I was a kid, never knew where it came from.

HECK YEAH THE AMEN BREAK!!! I love breakcore and many other forms of music. Thanks for making this.

Who else immediately thought of "straight outta Compton" as soon as they heard the actual drums?

That drum break gives me chills hahaha so perfect!!!

Jungle. Jungle is the important one.

Big up to all the dnb heads around the world!

i finally found it after all these years i would hear it in music i would always wonder where it came from and i finally found it my life is now complete

Big respect to those that push the craft forward.

Idk how this stuff gets into my recommendations, but I'm perfectly fine with it

Many years ago my drum teacher taught me this beat and it feels so good tho know where exactly it's from. Definitely my go to beat when playing along to anything!

Its sad that the guy who made this drum solo died on the street homeless :(((

i instantly thought of heavydirtysoul by tøp

Well, it’s more the mother and father of things like Breakbeat Hardcore. Breakcore is a later rendition of music like Drill n Bass, not really it’s own thing created from the break.

YES!!! I FINALLY FOUND WHERE THAT DRUM AND BASS SAMPLE CAME FROM!! NOW I CAN FINALLY USE IT!!!!!!

Nice cameo of Lord Finesse announcing Breakbeat Lou onto the stage. All my real Hip Hop heads feel me on the this one.

Had this drum solo in my head but never knew where it came from.

this is why i want to take dj classes. i wanna make my own mashups and mixes like this.

that dreumbeat is iconic, it is most recognizable in every late 1990s to early 2000s music and media

I’m very well-versed with this loop. Have heard it and known it my whole life; I’m not lying when I say I ALMOST “beatbox” it once a day when I’m bored, if not that then I’m finger-drumming it and have been every day for I don’t know how many years. For some damn reason the first thing that comes up in my head every time I listen to it is “HeavyDirtySoul”.

I was thinking it was gonna be the "Funky Drummer" break!
