The World’s Most Important 6 Second Drum Beat
I saw this documentary a few years ago, it is astounding how influential this beat is. It reminds me of the infamous The Wilhelm Scream, another one of those things that, once you are aware of it, suddenly is everywhere. Like a new word.
This sample was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music — a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures. Nate Harrison’s 2004 video is a meditation on the ownership of culture, the nature of art and creativity, and the history of a remarkable music clip.
