The sad truth about this iconic drum break is that the man who recorded it, Gregory Coleman, died homeless in 2006 mainly because he wasn’t receiving royalties for this sample.

I don’t receive royalties for this sample and I’m not homeless

[@vaelophisnyx9873]

@@srpacificvery intelligent, asshole.

[@Brasswatchman]

Technically, Coleman himself wouldn't have directly received royalties for the sampling anyway. The copyright owner of the song "Amen, Brother" by the Winstons was the band leader, Richard Lewis Spencer. Any royalties would've gone to him, with him choosing whether or not to cut the other members of the band (including Winston) in on it.

Knowing the story of the actual drummer strangely aligns with how batshit crazy breakcore producers can be. He played the most sampled piece of audio ever, died homeless with basically nothing to his name, but his legacy carried on from a bunch of insane musicians
