Whats that Amen break?

y'know, the one with the metallic cymbal klanging on the top - like, really fat init. anyone gottit?

well, the amen break is only gonna be the drum break from amen brother by the winstons. so whatever edit you're talking about can be derived from that, so here it is ;)

versions i've heard with a really clangy dirty ride sound like theyve been distorted and copressed muchly in the high end then eq'd to bring it out...

you're talking about the firefight break, otherwise known as the "tramen" as trace was the one to process it. from what i can gather it's just an amen he distorted and compressed, people sampled it from him.

k, thx guys

Tramen is the amen break and tighten up combined.

it's all just clicks and whistles!

yeah, 'jesus's loves you's right' the Tramen break isn't just the amen break!

sorry, just realsised i posted a crappy edit of the amen break as oppose to the original!

here it is -

If you're interested in break science, The Grid on the Dogs on Acid forum is shit hot. Thousands of rare breaks and all that, and they know a lot about layering and general break production. After all, they make DnB. I don't make DnB, I'm not a massive fan of DnB, but christ those guys know their breaks.

I got a Tramen from there.
