  • From the Amen Break to the Apache Loop, the art and science of drum sampling has played a crucial role in the development and evolution of electronic music. But as the years pass into decades, the stories of certain breaks may take an unexpected path, or be forgotten entirely.

    i love how i recognized that folder right away, it’s actually called “breakcore is not a good way to get laid” now (or at least that’s what it was called when i downloaded it)

  • @tweeleaf
    @tweeleaf 9 місяців тому +9

    so basically, this sample is from the live performance of “tighten up” by james brown. the reason it’s called “samurai” is most likely because it was sampled off “the seven samurai” by photek, or at least associated it with it.

    I was able to trace the origin of the break back further! And by complete accident, too: It's on a sample CD titled "Zero-G Jungle Warfare 3". I've heard samples from this series all over VGM, not just the drum breaks but the misc. pads and stuff are present in a lot of jungle. I'll implore you to find it yourself because you know how linking these things goes... A quick google search should get you started.

    Jungle, Hardcore Breakbeat, DnB and Many others have come to me because of this so lovely break that I was addicted to, I found out that it was sampled from James Brown's "Tighten Up" because of the ride cymbals albeit EQ'd

    • @SeraphinSnecmel
      @SeraphinSnecmel 9 місяців тому +1

      Sorry to be that guy but did you mean right cymbals or were you deliberately saying ride symbols because there were some symbols on idk like the file display image of a specific sample of the break?
