Yeah, I've been playing music for almost 20 years, never knew about this 'till I started DJing and learning how to remix hip-hop tracks.



You know you're a dj if you instinctively reach for headphones when you see someone you don't want to talk to.

I mean i prolly know it cuz my bro started playing drums a few years back, but dam

live hip hop and drum & bass drummers always know it, but rock, metal, blues, pop etc... the vast majority of these guys dont know what it is.

i think the amen break is something that should be taught in a 5th grade music class. its a basic building block of several types of music and can show both how those types of music can be similar and different at the same time, and how one sample can be used and reused so many different ways.
then you mention jungle, and how that sample can be chopped up and used in an infinite number of ways. i could give a lesson on this for 60+ minutes not including examples.

[Str8upDrew]

The Winstons are more of a Soul/RnB

so there's no excuse for rnb guys to not know what it is

You know you're a dj when you actually are dj!

[Quiggers]

when people see you on the street and don't say "hey Rob!"
they say "hey, its the D.....Jay...!"

however, in non pop hiphop/rap breaks/ drumbeats are still used
