the Amen Break

The most famous drum beat in the world, in a duration of 6 seconds. This drum beat alone has been sampled about 3,000 times in many songs of different genres, including Hip Hop, Jungle, Drum & Bass, and others. It was sampled from a B-Side track called "Amen, Brother" by The Winston's from their 1969 album, "Color Him Father". Barely noticed at the time until the sampler was introduced, it became widely known and inspired by many music artists of today.

Example:
the amen break is cool because it is so heavily compressed and it doesn't sound like banging on a tin can when you speed it up.
