World’s Most Important Drum Loop
This fascinating, brilliant 20-minute video narrates the history of the ‘Amen Break’, a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single 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. Nate Harrison’s 2004 video is a meditation on the ownership of culture, the nature of art and creativity, and the history of a remarkable music clip.
Good to hear you like it! Should you run into any interesting videos like these again then let me know.
