Hello everyone! In our newest episode of "Drum Patterns Explained", we take a look at the drum pattern behind the legendary Amen Break, how it works, its little details and what makes it special (including some resampling and slicing). Attached to this post you will find the high quality WAV files mentioned in the video (and the 909 kick we used), in case you want to try some slicing and dicing yourself :)

You can find two transcriptions of the Amen Break on our Patreon: The 808 drum machine version and the more detailed acoustic version from this episode.

We hope you like it, have a great weekend!
