[@DustinBoden]

Clearly hes a contractor not a drummer, he put his china upside down. every time i see that i just turn the video off....

[@richogem]

you're just ignorant.

[@123nvb123]

Actually, a china symbal can be used both ways.The way he uses it has a VERY low life expectancy, but gives a bit more attack, which some people like more. If you don't care that your cymbal dies quicker, this way is not a "wrong" way... I can't spare the money to play them upsies, but I do like the sound more. Not attacking or anything, just stating my own experiences.

[@harpersneil]

Is he employed here full time? No Issah Contractor.

[@scorpzgca]

lol

[@brain_drops]

The entertaining thing to me about the amen break isn't as much the break itself. But given that it was recorded, and all those hits that the original player played, you get wonderful sounds out of it. Then it comes down to breakbeats and how the person chops up the break. Really cool on a production level.

6:08 whole thing @ 90 bpm

[@iamallrat]

You’re very talented, but upon listening to the origins it actually sounds as if the ride cymbal is actually divided into triplets (one two three rest) it makes the kick drum really pop on the double. It also enables you to play it more relaxed.

[@richogem]

lol i just listened to the original and there is zero mention or resemblance to triplets on the ride. the hell are u on.

[@estanbeedell6741]

This wouldn't be triplets but three 8ths with 8th note rest. However, what's happening is the compression in the original recording is bringing up the volume of the first three rides, while the 3rd is low volume because of the snare hit. Hope that helps!

[@Shermanbay]

Excellent, excellent illustration & demo! As someone who comes from a written music background, I appreciated the clear notation along with the performance. Thanks for this!

[@boop53]

1:47 what i find the hardest about this part is that final snare drum. I can do the entire beat without that snare at the end!

If I join up for the monthly rate and then later decide I like it and want a o buy the yearly rate instead can I switch? What's drumeo edge is that different than the other regular drumeo membership?

[@AaronLevyDrums]

+Larry Tate Drumeo Edge Membership is just that. Compared to the individual packs you can buy. Drumeo Edge gives you access to everything Drumeo has to offer. If you join for the monthly rate, you can switch to the yearly rate later on. It is more affordable to do the year.

[@invaliduser9889]

[@RadicDotkey]

Nice tutorial, but Amen Break is all about the unique sound of the snare drum. I would try to tune the pitch a bit to closer resemble the Coleman's snare drum, and dampen the decay a bit.

[@cm9241]

Okay, but the lesson is on the actual music played, not drum tuning and mixing.

[@GGDrummer]

Nice lesson Issah!! congrats

[@stoffenl]

I wish someone could record an old drum kit now, as like The Winston's Gregory C. Coleman had at the end of the 1960s. And capture the character of the snare which is what we are looking for - that special Amen-sound that stands out so well from other drums. Someone who knows what set Coleman was playing on?

Nice, but the ghost snares are too loud

[@rtyuik7]

to me, it always sounds like the 'Break' has a mess-up, when i hear the original track...but of course, when you remix it over and over, it can make transitions a lot smoother for other songs...

[@System.10]

2:40 I feel bad because I've actually sampled that before...

[@bluebull399]

It just doesn't sound the same, sure you are playing all the notes in the right place but what made that original amen break so special was the actual sound. I'm not a drummer but I'm sure there are steps you can take to make your kit sound like the one the winstons had?

[@martmakkie5779]

It is mostly the way drumeo mixes their stuff. I think they go for a clear fat sound so you can hearthe different drums and articulation the best, which is good for this kind of educational video.

[@elissitdesign]

Obviously the room, mic’s and mixing board are totally different. Not to mention not recorded to tape and played via record. Tuning or tweaking the kit won’t help. The original is heavily compressed as well.
