    This is possibly the best video i have ever watched. BK-One dropped this on his Facebook profile the other day and i've been thinking about it ever since

    The bigger question is how many songs use this and you don't even know it. The potential to splice it, pull singular hits from it etc etc is pretty much an unending thing.

    :DThere is always the flip side of the coin

    It reminds me of a documentary called KeepInTime put together by B+. He took session drummers from the 60's 70's and paired them up with modern producers and DJ's (Madlib, babu, Cut Chemist etc). Most of the beats that these drummers recorded back in the day have been re-used over and over and over.....http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/collective/A5467070 is a good article on this.

    It would be interesting to see how many songs have used the drum loops and the Amen break

    This is a really interesting video alright. Saw it a few years back. In more recent times I've read that there are far more frequently used breaks than the Amen one, but the way it spread is impressive none the less.
