Favorite Break

[Loose Cannon]

Whats everybodys favorite break (besides substitution)? Whether its your fave to use or you just like the groove in general.


My favorite the Led Zep break at the begginnin of When The Levee Breaks. The drums are just the crazyest shit i ever heard before on that.


how bout you

Im still a sucker for the classics: amen, apache, the obvious picks. The rest of breaks are all obscure funk and blaxploitation stuff, unheard of by most.

Aw Yeah!

It's a 2-way tie for first:

1) Nautilus - Bob James
Kool is Back - Kool and the Gang

These are my absolute favs but the list can go on forever, you should make it at least your top 10 breaks.

2) Rapper Dapper Snapper - Edwin Birdsong
3) Funky Drummer - James Brown
4) Say it Loud, (I'm Black and I'm Proud) - James Brown
5) Ashley's Roachclip - Soul Searchers
6) I Get Lifted - Jimmy McCrae (not AWB!)
7) JB's Monorail - The JB's
8) Hand Clappin' Song - The Meters
9) Melting Pot - Booker T and the MG's
10) Theme From S.W.A.T. - Rhythm Heritage

Can I keep going!
