Hold off on the action...Which break is the best, as in all around sonics of the boom bap? Kicks, snares, and hats...Which one is greatest hip hop beat? There are so many to choose from: "synthetic substitute" "impeach the pres" "skull snaps"...I'm going with Issac Hayes "breakthrough" off of the Truck Turner OST! Every element of this break is perfect! Any sleepers?

    at least LT had the wits about him to go into "Oh shit!" mode and call the trainers over with the quickness...today some douchebag would be doing a a dipshit dance and yelling "who's your daddy?" or some shit...even the drugged out players back then had more class than the shitbreaths that play today...

    I really hope that you are picturing Kyle Turley in your head as you say such a thing.

    Damn, even I remember that. Lawrence Taylor knew right away that Theismann had caught a bad one, didn't he?

    funky drummer - james brown

    personal fav. not the hardest or the most boom bap, but it's got the flams and swing going heavy. probably one of the harder funk breaks to re-play on a kit too- for me at least.

    found skull snaps for $250.... my question is, who would buy this record for this much? i'm really trying to justify it.

    What if your a producer who wants to use it?

    as far as drum breaks go, ya cant beat "Lover and a Friend" IMO...

    although Led Zep's "Bonzo's Montreux" comes in a close second...yeah I just said that!
