The break comes from a drum solo in Amen, Brother, the 1969 B-side by American soul group the Winstons, played by drummer Gregory Coleman. Hip-hop producers began looping it in the 1980s, and British jungle and drum and bass producers adopted it in the early 1990s, chopping and speeding it up to match faster tempos. Because the recording is short, punchy and rhythmically dense, it works as a ready-made foundation that can be rearranged endlessly, which is why it remains a staple in electronic production decades later.

The classic drum loop at 160 BPM, sampled from the Winstons' 1969 track Amen, Brother, and widely used in drum and bass, jungle and hip-hop beats.
This is a fast, rolling drum break built from a short six-second drum solo, chopped and looped at 160 beats per minute for high-energy electronic music. You hear a punchy kick, crisp snare hits, shuffling hi-hats and ghost notes that tumble over each other, creating a restless, driving rhythm that feels urgent and physical. At this tempo it pushes a track forward without sounding rushed, giving producers a familiar, gritty backbone that instantly signals jungle and drum and bass energy and makes listeners want to move.
