Amen Break by Loopdrummer

The Amen Brother break played on electric drum pads.
Original amen drum break sampled and chopped up into single hits, mapped onto a sampler triggered by electric drum kit.
In this video I break the Amen down into smaller loops, showing how to play those before putting them together to play the original Amen pattern...

man I could listen to that for hours.

[@djfabito8]

you should download a software like logic or fl studio and begin to make drum and bass like a boss

[@jaminbones]

I'll see...

[@fwjadeee]

DOMINATOR I use studio one and an mpc

[@Freqstep]

Amen!

[@hello123s3]

For hours, I listened. And for the love of the drums and god, we wish to pray… AMEN!

[@fyzika_]

That performance of the amen break was so damn accurate.

[@gameandwatch5202]

.....and God looked upon his beautiful planet and said " Let there be Harcore Jungle Techno"! Amen to that! Respect to the Winston bros!

@@minhnhatnguyen7908 the guy who wrote aboat Cthullu who was racist also died homeless... he was a racist. A romanian dude named Jean Moscopol that bashed communism died homeless in a capitalist country USA. Who knows what fk up sht that drummer done to deserve it

[@antoniobluregard3089]

@@AntifaBucharest wtf

[@bigjimbo3917]

what

[@marchenry5547]

This is very interesting. it's a bit baffling to a traditional drummer to see so many "snare" pads with different keys. but great use of technology to recreate that famous snare "shuffle" sound...

[@Vectif]

The future of traditional drumming, right there, and no one's on it! I love programmed and programming drums, but this is what I want to see more of, electronic arts become performance acts!

[@oCbreaks]

Hey! 1 year on, but if you like, check out my new band, where I use this set up with acoustic kit - kzbin.info/door/unjExNxjg-ePn7249MNlcw

[@djr3verse]

Welcome to the gold times of KZbin.

[@Dudleymiddleton]

This has got to be the most famous groove in history! Great playing, my friend.

[@wawarushii]

04:07 someone should sample this...

[@Dnekk24]

Hmm

[@Antuane_]

😰

[@NIIVES]

Well that sure is a complicated way to play it. You play very good though

[@dadrumma8608]

I love this acoustic yet chopped up kind of sound

[@twofortyp1793]

this is the coolest thing I have EVER seen

[@oCbreaks]

Thanks! If you like, check out my new band.. Channel - kzbin.info/door/unjExNxjg-ePn7249MNlcw

[@hypnodelica]

You play it in the pocket, but the original is played on 1 kick, 1 snare and 1 ride... i understand you need a different pad for every sample but this is a seriously convoluted way to recreate something so simple... (still good job on the playing though)

[@ashman04]

He does it this way because his kit is set up so that each pad has a tiny piece of the full sample. You'll notice that in the full loop, he never hits the same pad twice. This is because every hit is him just playing slightly further through the full thing.

[@PorchBass]

Great Stuff. Its cool how you change tempos and keep the groove.

[@LVXON]

dude you are seriously fucking awesome, somehow you have given the machine a soul.

[@MrMalthusMusic]

Nice work mate, teachin' drum breaks to the new generation, awesome.

[@pauleytee8410]

I'm stoned and loving this so much

[@ricatxton]

Amen, brother!

[@RooDBwoY]

Takes me back to the childhood.

[@djorig]

Impeccable ❤

[@oCbreaks]

I can't see the mic! It was there to record me talking - but the sound is coming from my laptop, sequencer, sampler

[@ThiagoOgoshi]

Amazing explanation man! Thank you!

[@jasonjohnstone2401]

I could listen to you all day bro ,. good job

[@1mm375]

that would be fun to play with when im drunk

damn you play so good !!

[@neilio666666]

Brilliant

[@Leowoodschannel]

This makes me want too fish out my drum and kit and start playing again!!

[@3Y3ce]

That's actually so sick

[@EpsteezyFoSheezy]

Used in the Futurama theme, too.

Great Job For The Showcase!!!

[@YouJustGotSquished]

Christ that was awesome

[@puzcuz]

[@Heavy_Distortion]

pure platinum

[@KoolioBoiz]

because this is a break from the winstons, it makes more sense to sample and cut the beat itself to recreate the break

[@jimstingz309]

fantasic vid

[@vanderson_pl]

great, you are awesome drummer

[@crashstitches79]

DUDE OMG I WANT THIS PATCH

[@pedrovazquez1018]

PERFECT!!

[@fyzika_]

Because not everyone has money to buy every part that the drum set requires to perform the amen break. It's much simpler to use an electric drum set because he can already load up the samples in the system.

[@thekid26000]

Very Very Nice!

[@jimmythedrum446]

Yo, sick skills mate! Just wondering what is that setup called you've got there?

[@oCbreaks]

Hey it's Yamaha kit but you could use any electronic drum kit. Midi goes into computer and I was using Kontakt software sampler with the Amen beats chopped onto the separate hits - again you could use any sampler. Now I use Drum Racks in Ableton.

[@oCbreaks]

If you like check out my new band 'om.puter' where I use this set up - kzbin.info/door/unjExNxjg-ePn7249MNlcw

[@tommitytom]

Love this! Tried this a while a go on my TD-8 but found it pretty tough! You have a pretty busy kit there, what kind of equipment do you use?

[@nedmcfabulous3788]

Great video thanks. Do you also create your own beats using the electric drums?

[@talkingtomyselfhere]

imagine breakcore drum programin on THAT, fuck :D

[@sacrificialanodednb]

Drum programmers, what are your samplers capable of? It would be great if you could: Assign one bar(1st,2nd,3rd,4th) of slices to the kit at any instance, by a bar selection trigger; But during any instance: 1. The kick pedal scrolls through kicks for that bar, 2. The snare pad scrolls through snares for that bar, 3. The ride pad scrolls through cymbals for that bar.(or two pads-full beat & half beat rides) Supplementary to this- with any bar currently assigned, you can start from any beat within that scrolling bar, dependent of which pad you hit-eg. Bar one: Kick = 1~2~3~4*5*6*7~8* Snare = 3~4*5*6*7~8* Ride = 4*5*6*7~8* Or sliced combinations-eg: (3~4*) (3~4*) (1~2~) (4*5*) (Needs audio!) This is definitely something I would need if I was the drummer.

[@jizzmaster2000]

+bENT hAMMER Octatrack could do this.

[@Snerkler1]

This is awesome, can I ask where you got the samples from please? Also, I'm struggling to tell what the 4 different instruments are on the 4 smallest drums, could you tell me what they are please?

[@Dj_Kirby]

sampling is so interesting

[@TUBEDIGGA]

Great job, always wanted to do this but never got a kit :)

[@jmarvosa6x3]

YEUH!

[@nolem5417]

It sounds just like it!

[@normannspectator]

Спасибо.

[@carllucey9130]

fair play.

[@darrenhibbert9331]

Wow what a legend.

[@xGimbal]

Hey People. I asked myself and others a couple times, if there is just ONE fucking Rock- or Metal-Band out there, using this kind of drumset with the original-sounding amen break for their songs and live gigs? Caution: I don`t mean, that the drummer just replay the drumloop on normal drums!!! Does anyone know of such a band?

[@kombabakh]

Crazy! Brilliant!

[@justinecastro4738]

soo cool

[@charleybembridge4964]

goung to have some fun running this audio through my sampler brilliant

[@LaVonne_208]

Those electric drums can be costly also, They are not cheap, besides,you can go the the music store and buy a used drum set for a reasonable price, I AM a musician and I DO know what I'm talking about. But if it's easier for someone to use electric drums oh well, so be it, but I'm old school so I like the original way better!

[@SmolReapyE621]

So that's where it's from!

[@jumba9]

i have a question for you: why i see the mic near your digital drum? the sound dont come out from the speakers? however really nice tutorial!

[@jermainehicks2818]

All this time I thought it was the funky drummer from James Brown, it's good to know that these men are finally getting paid.

[@eparigon]

the man who made the sounds he is playing actually died in miserable poverty years ago….

[@Pilbromatic]

Fairly sure you're looking at the frame of the kit :)

[@futuredirector999]

holy shit that was sweet! :D

[@SpencerTaylorOnline]

Fantastic!

[@hiphophobbyklub]

Dope Dope Dope Dope Dope

[@oCbreaks]

@MrMalthusMusic Thanks man!

[@synthmage00]

Can someone please make a video of what this would sound like if a person played this pattern on an acoustic kit? It would probably be really funny.

[@deanandthebeans857]

Nice playing - but why spread the same samples across several pads like that?

[@oCbreaks]

They are not the same samples, they are different parts of the Amen loop. Subtle differences e.g., between the two snare kits give the original feel of the Amen loop

[@oCbreaks]

@tommitytom check my website loopdrummer. It explains everything in detail, look at 'FAQ' and 'Concept'... Any other unanswered Qs u are welcome to contact me through the site or here. Cheeeers!

[@ashman04]

What I'm saying is that if the loop was one second long and he divided it into 10 pieces (one per pad) and he hit one pad repeatedly, it would simply play the same tenth of a second over and over. I imagine you'll have a hard time understanding this, so I've put together a picture - bit . ly/11XTRJ0 Pretend that the whole beat is cut up into blocks like the highlighted part. Then assign each pad to one of those blocks, so you have to hit them in order for it to work.

[@oCbreaks]

@tommitytom Cheers man...

[@tommitytom]

@loopdrummer Found it, cheers :)

[@elviauresti1391]

What's the drum kit called?

[@oCbreaks]

It's a Yamaha kit but you could do it on any electric drum kit by sending MIDI to a sampler and then trigger the samples you want

[@bilmshimekryptik3612]

what the ? What did you map these samples with and what drums are those?

[@certifiedwebmer]

Everybody gangsta until the undertale fandom tells that tobyfox owns the music

[@Kai_On_Paws_4298]

everybody gangsta until you got into the fnf fandom

[@LabmigOfficial]

cool action! :)

[@LimeGreenTeknii]

Why did you go through the trouble of getting several different samples of the same part of the drumset and mapping them to different parts of the electronic kit?

[@PenutButtahnJelli]

it has to do with rythm and timing.

[@LimeGreenTeknii]

***** Well, that takes more work, though.

i remember this shit from the power puff girls intro

[@highonpgtips]

COOOL AS FUCK

[@Holdington]

I don't think I understand; if you have a drumkit, and you're a drummer, why don't you just play it normally on the drums?

[@SticksNkicks]

What?

[@stevemccameron9225]

Err.... what?

[@Vendoman500]

Lol fuck samples I just made my own

[@LaVonne_208]

Too damn complicated, why not just get a regular drum set?

[@dukeofpearl]

BUY AN ACOUSTIC SET!!! F*** neighbours! Drums are MEANT to be loud and leary! Don't get electronic kits at all!

[@King92Kazma]

+dukeofpearl There are reasons to do so. get over it.

[@bananaman7458]

You can't play the Amen Break on an acoustic drum kit.
