Didn't you say you were 14?


Yeah, I also said I was a japanese schoolgirl somewhere else..

I was 12 in 1992 :)

it's a great break. it's just got every hit you could want for a great edit and it obviously sounds good too. The snare has such a nice tone that you rarely find in other breaks.

everyone should have a track where the amen gets murdered chopped into tiny pieces and thrown into a blender pureed a bit and served to the geriatric through a straw where upon consumption it is spat back into the face of youth with a stern look of both dismay and concern for the well being and potential future of the nation that could produce such a vile retched mind altering distortable mashup that sets their loins ablaze with the fiery vigor of a pubescent teen who has just recently discovered masturbation for the first time by some sort of freak accident involving a whirlpool washer and dryer a cat and two boxes of moth balls that were discovered in a pantry just underneath a stale bag of bread and three cans of campbells chicken noodle soup which would have actually been four cans of soup if the fourth hadn't been propelled forward with it's falling momentum after the earth quake finished and rolled out the behind the old house that is ever so slightly out of view from the rest of modern suburbia.

yeah, so... y'all make a track like that.

someone should have hired the original drummer to make a whole load of breakbeats in 24 bit .wav... in fact if had access to a time machine that would deffo be on my list - go back to 1969 and sample the fuckers then buy the copywright.

and demand a small royalty for every commercial use.

Why royaltys, it should be free to use, in every single way. :D
