The “Amen Break” is often regarded as the most overused drum beat in music. It is a famous measure-long sample from the B-side of the 1986 single “Amen, Brother” by The Soul Sisters. The break is characterized by its frenetic pace and syncopated rhythms, and it has been extensively used in various genres of music, including hip-hop, jungle, drum and bass, and electronic dance music. Despite its popularity, some critics argue that its overuse has led to a lack of originality in many compositions.
