i love jungle/drums and bass just as much as i love dubstep. I love the way artists such as dom and roland, omni trio, higher sense, skream (burning up/some magnetic man stuff), renegade and most of the moving shadow artists mess about with the amen break, they completely chop it up and turn it into some awesome ass stuff! i was just wondering if any of you guys ever tried sampling the amen break.

thanks

Classic break. To be honest with you I'm kind of tired of it. It's always nice to hear it in the background of a jungle/dnb track ripping stuff up but that breaks had 15-20 years of rape. It's time to put that kit to bed. If I hear it in one more commercial about trucks or jet skis I'ma rip off my head :/

Throughout the tune in my sig. Pitch shifting, velocity bending amen chopping madness
Also my tune "Old Skool" Which is also a free download on my soundcloud page

Breaks in general are good for any type of EDM. So if you are a producer of EDM, its a very good idea to familiarize yourself with the amen.

I love the depth in your track, especially once the bass kicks in.

I've tried playing around with the original Amen break, but I could never make that sounded as what what the Jungle producers have been able to make with it! Even though it's been overused to death and back I still like tracks that make good use of the break.

lool some 30 year old in my music tech class was actually asking the tutor, what is an amen break? i hear it mentioned a lot but i dont know what it is.. yet he told me hes a drum & bass/darkstep producer :S thick shit lol

I've been using a couple layered breaks including the Amen in the track I'm working on. But I'm basically just using them as the filler between the kick and snare, instead of programming my own hat pattern. I lowpassed off the kicks and made the breaks pretty quiet.

You can get some pretty good ideas from just listening through amen breaks.
Remember that more elements than the drums can be played in the rythms of the amenbreak. Don't know how to make it sound logical, but you can have your bass going with the same groove/rythm of an amen break without using the amen break itself. You can get som pretty decent results doing this.

has anyone ever tried water? it's really amazing what you can do with it

I invented the bag.
