Pearse points me to an excellent little story about a very familiar drum beat:

You might also want to listen a great peice by Nate Harrison on the Amen break (you definitely have heard this, unless you’ve been living in a sound proof cave for years)

It’s also a real nice example of bringing a great story alive in a simple yet compelling way.

Indeed! If you’re interested in music this is mandatory information. Thanks!
