AMEN

a clone of the most sampled 7 seconds in history
bpm
grid is 4 bars of 16ths. the [[amen break]] is: kick+snare for two bars, a delayed snare in the third, and a syncopated run with a crash in the fourth. the drummer who played this, gregory coleman, died homeless in 2006 and — by all accounts — never found out his 7 seconds became the backbone of jungle and drum & bass.
256 steps. 136 bpm. no samples were harmed; everything is two oscillators and a noise buffer.
