I'm guessing it's the "Slander" meme videos, they're spawning a lot more recently and most of them use the Powerpuff Girls opening, I got curious about the beat and this was the first result that came up
i'm here because i just started learning about amen breaks and the wiki said powerpuff girls used the amen break, so here I am, guess wikipedia is wrong.
i think the reason why people still call it the "amen break drum" is because they use "amen break" as an umbrella term since there's so many different types of breakdrums
@@yuxanne. right. its literally the same thing with a different pitch and speed. and some ppl are having a holier than thou moment in the comments cuz they could apparently 'obviously tell the difference". yet they cant see that Clyde Stubblefield just wasn't credited.
@@MsDudette21 I could make a mock up with the amen break and have it sound fine (probably) although the drum sequencing would have to be different to fit
Imagine still debating about this in 2021. This video clearly shows proof alongside hundreds of other videos. So WHY ARE PEOPLE still absolutely positive this is Amen, Brother!???
@@magical_lenny1068 That's because no matter how many times you watch the video, that peabrain of yours cannot comprehend the different sounds coming from each samples. You can say whatever you want, but coming from proven facts and the video that you're commenting on, I know I'm 100% correct. Therefore, your further arguments are invalid.
Hey, what happened to your old channel? I remember you because of that stepmania skin video. But it seems the video is gone and both with your old channel.
@@-Poka- Considering it's RU-vid I can bet you are talking to a person that isn't a person you think it is XD the person you remember probably deleted it's account just like billions of others did years ago XD and this is someone else ...
@@conradhartgmx I think it was when the show came back from being canceled the first time (although it may have been earlier), that I noticed Christopher Tyng had remade the theme song without the Amen Brother sample. So, not to be pedantic or anything, but the Futurama theme only had the Amen break for the first few seasons. I suspect the drum loops layered in the updated theme probably came from a sample pack rather from an old record. Or Tyng may have just gone and brought in a drummer to record new drums.
I was just wondering if the theme was an Amen Break after learning what an Amen Break was, and as a musician (non-percussion lol) I'm happy to know the minor differences in detail.
@@tomahawkANDscopZ If you want to be pedantic about semantic, you can also play An Amen Break, which would then be talking about a specific performance of the amen break.
@@rohitchaoji That would be a cover of the amen break, not "an amen break". There cannot be "an amen break" the same way there cannot be "an willhelm scream" or "an Eiffel Tower". They are literally one of a kind, and anything else would be a imitation, version , cover etc . Think of it as a piece of audio, that piece of audio can be used or recreated but can never be plural. So you cannot say "an" or "a" in reference to it, only "the", as "the" implies identity, while "an" or "a" implies it to be general, to which it cannot be.
I never did, but to be fair, they're pretty similar, rhythmically. One has a bit more snare and the other has a ride cymbal and is noisier overall, but they can be (and often have been) resampled to the same tempo and layered on top of each other and it pretty much just sounds like one drum break. They're also both *extremely* widely sampled and very on beat (thus easy to slice evenly). To the untrained ear, it's understandable that one might be mistaken for the other. "Mandela Effect-type stuff" is usually just that...things that are easily mixed up and misremembered. People think it's Berenstein because "-stein" is more common than "-stain". People think Kazaam was called Shazaam because it's so similar to Shazam, and people think Sinbad was in it because his movie First Kid was advertised alongside Kazaam on the same VHS tapes because they were from the same distributor and came out around the same time. People think Mandela died in prison, because...well, surely somebody died in prison while he was locked up; he was in there for a while. Human brains are basically just electric sponges. It's a wonder we remember anything correctly.
That's what drives me crazy about the dumb Mandela effect stuff to no end - especially using Nelson Mandela to name it. He wouldn't been released from prison, cameoed in the Malcolm X movie or became President of South Africa - all in the 90s if he died in prison in the 80s? Now this thing got me off track...
Since learning more about the Amen break I've been actually wondering if the Powerpuff Girls theme used the Amen break in some form. Now I know it doesn't.
dude im so down for these spectral analysis "smoking gun" videos that basically disprove music myths. In my dad's generation it was the Hard Day's Night starting chord.
The beginning sounds like the music that plays when you select a character in 1080, that snowboarding game for the Nintendo 64. “Work your body, w-work your body”
i think that actually uses funky drummer? its a bit hard to tell bc its also layered with other drum samples & the samples over it are playing other things but i think its there, i can make out the snare drum and the hihat
You'll have to find an old copy of Reason(I think reason 4 or 5) and look through the octo rex patches. If I find it elsewhere I will come back and post it @@Chris-tn9bf
Amazing technique. Want infinite droomloops? Get Superior Drummer 3 with the factory kit and pitch up each part of the drum. Found that Sampler is super good for doing DNB/Jungle stuff like that.
actually in one section it does use the amen crash and an amen ride hit. they play on the off beats in the middle of them theme. they are high passed but you hear it fr
ohhh is this why im getting some comments about nwjns yeah having listened to it for a minute supershy doesnt use either. the drums are similar to "funky drummer" but it uses its' own distinct pattern using different drum samples
...and yet, here we are. What's dividing the country to the point of no return? Fighting over what sample was used in a theme song for a cartoon geared towards little girls.
if you see in the corner of the playlist window above the track headers (?) there's a little gray area with a few buttons, you click the waveform icon and then you would click either "stretch" or the two arrows pulling apart depending on when your version of FL is from
its not built into FL studio so you have to find the song online / buy a CD with it and get it that way though personally i just. pirated it lol the version your looking for is James Brown's "Funky Drummer (Bonus Beat Reprise)" its on youtube & you can just use a youtube downloader
@@Chris-tn9bf i know that im a pain in the ass but can you please pass me the loop to use on fl? im not good making that and im trying to do a cover and i have all the instruments i think except that xD haha
while one has a snare drum and whatever else, it's still the same. the original is just faster. Clyde just wasnt given a songwriting credit, but he is credited. go look on wikipedia.
If you work with the instrument you kinda understand the rules and limits of said instrument I think it's still an amen break just plaid differently sutch as like changing one thing to a different thing or playing something softer/harder to change it if that makes any sense
theres only so many drum patterns that are used in music & considering the amen break and the funky drummer break to be the same thing because they have a similar pattern is insulting to both clyde stubblefield & greg coleman and probably any other drummer many songs have the same drum pattern with different samples and considering them to be the same just because they have the same drum pattern is honestly really really dumb, and its especially dumb here because the funky drummer break and the amen break dont even have the same drum pattern. funky drummer has more hihats, amen break uses rides instead of hihats & theyre 8ths instead of 16ths, funky drummer has more snares and less kicks
