@@conradhartgmx I think it was when the show came back from being canceled the first time (although it may have been earlier), that I noticed Christopher Tyng had remade the theme song without the Amen Brother sample. So, not to be pedantic or anything, but the Futurama theme only had the Amen break for the first few seasons. I suspect the drum loops layered in the updated theme probably came from a sample pack rather from an old record. Or Tyng may have just gone and brought in a drummer to record new drums.
I never did, but to be fair, they're pretty similar, rhythmically. One has a bit more snare and the other has a ride cymbal and is noisier overall, but they can be (and often have been) resampled to the same tempo and layered on top of each other and it pretty much just sounds like one drum break. They're also both *extremely* widely sampled and very on beat (thus easy to slice evenly). To the untrained ear, it's understandable that one might be mistaken for the other. "Mandela Effect-type stuff" is usually just that...things that are easily mixed up and misremembered. People think it's Berenstein because "-stein" is more common than "-stain". People think Kazaam was called Shazaam because it's so similar to Shazam, and people think Sinbad was in it because his movie First Kid was advertised alongside Kazaam on the same VHS tapes because they were from the same distributor and came out around the same time. People think Mandela died in prison, because...well, surely somebody died in prison while he was locked up; he was in there for a while. Human brains are basically just electric sponges. It's a wonder we remember anything correctly.
That's what drives me crazy about the dumb Mandela effect stuff to no end - especially using Nelson Mandela to name it. He wouldn't been released from prison, cameoed in the Malcolm X movie or became President of South Africa - all in the 90s if he died in prison in the 80s? Now this thing got me off track...

ohhh is this why im getting some comments about nwjns yeah having listened to it for a minute supershy doesnt use either. the drums are similar to "funky drummer" but it uses its' own distinct pattern using different drum samples
Amazing technique. Want infinite droomloops? Get Superior Drummer 3 with the factory kit and pitch up each part of the drum. Found that Sampler is super good for doing DNB/Jungle stuff like that.
actually in one section it does use the amen crash and an amen ride hit. they play on the off beats in the middle of them theme. they are high passed but you hear it fr
its not built into FL studio so you have to find the song online / buy a CD with it and get it that way though personally i just. pirated it lol the version your looking for is James Brown's "Funky Drummer (Bonus Beat Reprise)" its on youtube & you can just use a youtube downloader

...and yet, here we are. What's dividing the country to the point of no return? Fighting over what sample was used in a theme song for a cartoon geared towards little girls.
while one has a snare drum and whatever else, it's still the same. the original is just faster. Clyde just wasnt given a songwriting credit, but he is credited. go look on wikipedia.
If you work with the instrument you kinda understand the rules and limits of said instrument I think it's still an amen break just plaid differently sutch as like changing one thing to a different thing or playing something softer/harder to change it if that makes any sense
theres only so many drum patterns that are used in music & considering the amen break and the funky drummer break to be the same thing because they have a similar pattern is insulting to both clyde stubblefield & greg coleman and probably any other drummer many songs have the same drum pattern with different samples and considering them to be the same just because they have the same drum pattern is honestly really really dumb, and its especially dumb here because the funky drummer break and the amen break dont even have the same drum pattern. funky drummer has more hihats, amen break uses rides instead of hihats & theyre 8ths instead of 16ths, funky drummer has more snares and less kicks

This is brilliant thank you. Was just thinking to myself no one is paying attention to the 2 open hi hats. It changes the beat entirely.
The sample loop is also used as a music bed for the episode title cards...
This is some Mandela Effect-type stuff. I've ALWAYS thought the PPG theme used the Amen. Super weird.

I like to think amen is way more wishy washy. The PPG intro drums are wayyy to clean to be sampled from the amen
no way anybody was doubting this XD
