It’s one of the most popular drum loops in music history.
The “Amen break” is one of the most frequently used drum loop samples in music.
It’s only four bars long.It only lasts about six or seven seconds. Even so,this short
sampled loop has been used in well over a thousand songs in a wide variety of music,
including hip hop, techno, breakbeat and digital. That’s pretty impressive, so why all
the attention and air play? Could it be the golden ratio at work?
