The "Amen Break"

While this six second drum loops gross over use and reliance makes it important, I'm a little disappointed in drum n' bass now. Well thats not true, I have always been disappointed in what drum n' bass had to offer, but I guess I always imagined it was more complex and diverse. On the back end of the video the narrator pines for the days of loose copyright laws that first allowed for use of samples in hip hop and "electronica". He then laments the strict copyright laws that won't allow for sampling of todays music in the future. While I can see his point, I won't be loosing sleep if the next "drum n' bass" that could have been, never was. I like original music just fine, grab an instrument and make something your own.
