In the 90's, when the alternative scene hit it seemed this beat was every song on the radio. I truly felt it was a movement pushed by labels that promoted this groove and pushed down everything that used a standard rock beat. It is still pretty prevalent. I actually heard this as far back as Hendrix. This video makes it really interesting. www.bbc.com/news/magazine-32087287?utm_source=digg&utm_medium=email |

It's a drum beat. With a back beat. There are only so many places one can put notes in a 4/4 measure. There is no melody to copy, so there are just so many places you can go. Do they really think they were the first people to come up with kick on the one snare on the two and then kicks on the upbeats?

How sampling made this break famous and influenced whole new genres big time... This guy sums up the story pretty good! |

I think it is the pattern of the ghost notes on the snare. That's what set it apart from the standard rock beat. Not saying I agree with any legal standing... Just interesting.

Just watched the video. It is a cool video due to the content and the interesting style of videography, like an old dragnet narrative.... very hip.

Yupp, and it's stylish and already 12 yrs. old. :-)
"Oldschool. So 2004."
Nowadays it's pretty obvious that no viable solution for handling of copyrights, collector services and now stream based media has been found that pleases everyone in the digital era, even less, the better the digital infrastructure is. How disappointing.
And the Amen beat is still around :-)

Every time I hear something I think was original, time passes and one day I hear the same basic thing done years before. Just listen to Gene Krupa's long drum solo at Carnegie hall, beats just like this are all over it. It might become someones signature beat or sound, because of their own unique approach and tone, but I highly doubt he invented it. It's mostly a fast Jazz beat. It was a kick ass beat though, so I'm glad he got some recognition for it.
