Amen Drummer

Play around with the Amen Break drum kit. Play with keyboard, controller, and mobile devices.

(Wikipedia) Halfway into "Amen, Brother", there is a drum solo (performed by Gregory C. Coleman) which would cause the release to become the most widely sampled record in the history of electronic music. Sampled audio clips of the drum solo became known as the Amen break, which has been used in thousands of tracks in many musical genres, including breakcore, drum and bass, hip hop, jungle, big beat and industrial.

(Also from Wikipedia) The Winstons received no royalties for the sample. The bandleader, Richard Lewis Spencer, was not aware of its use until 1996, after the statute of limitations for copyright infringement had passed. He condemned its use as plagiarism, but later said it was flattering. He said it was unlikely that Coleman, who died homeless and destitute in 2006, realized the impact he had made on music.

RIP Gregory Coleman. You have created a huge ripple in the music world. Some genres almost exclusively use your drum kit as a sample.
