Notes:

Just a little addition here to uphold my presence on the forum.

Not a particularly important break in d&b, but never the less, a break used in 2 Bad Mice - Bombscare. You know, the little drum roll used at each 16 bars or so - its from the intro of this! :rolleyes:

 

It can also be heard in the "Renk & Dirty" tune as well, but, most likely its all from the Bombscare record which I am sure they lifted wholesale for the drop in their record.

 

* Incidentally "Renk & Dirty" then becomes the break beat for the DJ Monk - Good Body Girl jungle record in 1994!

 

 

Not heard it in any other hardcore records, although, been used a bunch of times in hip hop. Good tune http://smileys.tradezone.ltd.uk/thumbup.gif

Is this the same break that was used to similar effect in Eric B & Rakim - Make Em Clap to this and Nas - One Mic?

Almost a little drum roll.

 

Lol that would be "Eric B. For President" you're talking about

 

That's the drum roll in question :)
