Syncopation (rhythms that deviate from the standard pattern of regularly-spaced strong and weak beats in a meter) and polyrhythms (the simultaneous sounding of multiple independent rhythms) are common features in breakbeat music. Along with the growth in popularity of breakbeats and the widespread use of digital samplers, companies and independent producers have even begun selling "breakbeat packages" - entire collections of pre-sampled breakbeats for artists to start using in their own compositions. A popular technique was to play the same record on two turntables and play the break repeatedly by switching back and forth between the two records (allowing one to play while spinning the second record back to the start of the break). The "Amen Break," a drum break from The Winstons' song "Amen, Brother" is considered to be most-used break in music today. Other popular breaks include The 'Horizons' break, which is principally made up of cymbals and splashes, the Led Zeppelin song "When the Levee Breaks" and the Tramen break (also known as the FireFight break). Now, rather than cutting and splicing sections of tape or backspinning two records simultaneously, software can be used to cut, paste, and loop breakbeats automatically. Parts of a given breakbeat can be resampled and blended with others to create new breakbeat patterns. Click Here to learn how to produce music Today
