Why the Amen Break Is a Drum & Bass Staple

The Amen Break’s influence on drum and bass can’t be overstated.

It’s a rhythmic backbone that has featured prominently in countless tracks since the genre’s inception.

Its versatility and raw energy make it perfect for everything from tear-out jump-up tracks to rolling liquid beats.

Iconic producers like Goldie, Roni Size, and Dillinja (to name a few) have all used variations of the Amen Break to shape the genre's sound, each adding their own twist while preserving the essence of the original sample.

Using the Amen Break effectively can take your tracks to the next level.

This Tribute Pack gives you a wide array of variations, so you can experiment freely with different tones and intensities.
