The Amen Break
THE AMEN BREAK a six-second drum sample from the b-side of the chart-topping single* by THE WINSTONS 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. ( taken from YouTube)
