Top 25 Classic Drum Breaks (for Hip-Hop heads!)

These are probably some of the most classic and widely used drum breaks of all time. Many of you Hip-Hop heads out there will probably recognize most of these if not all of them. I know they come quick and are cut short. I did this so that it will be easy to loop them if you decide to download them for beats or whatever. Feel free to download and pump out some jams with that old school sound like our Hip-Hop ancestors. I know I do. Enjoy!

List (by order of appearance):

1 Lee Dorsey -- Get Out of my Life Women
2 The Honeydrippers -- Impeach the President
3 Lou Donaldson -- Ode to Billie Joe
4 Billy Squier -- The Big Beat
5 Skull Snaps -- It's a New Day
6 Melvin Bliss -- Synthetic Substitution
7 Lafayette Afro-Rock Band -- Hihache
8 The Mad Lads -- Get Out of my Life Woman
9 Sly & The Family Stone -- Sing A Simple Song
10 The Winstons -- Amen Brother
11 Ike & Tina Turner -- Cussin', Cryin' And Caryin' On'
12 James Brown -- Funky President
13 Led Zeppelin -- When The Levee Breaks
14 Joe Tex -- Papa Was Too
15 James Brown -- Funky Drummer

@emunesystem ... its a classic but i just went with a collection of my personal choice..i just went with the breaks that ive seen the most in all my research and the breaks i think have the best rugged sound for hip-hop..these really are propably the most reoccuring breaks used in 90's boom bap...
