The Breaks X-Change Thread

So has anyone been told "you ganna get sued man" by any of those funk drummers and such? I'd think it was sampled too much to go around saying they can't use those drums. Yet again, I did see some classic breaks in a pack that was for sure royalty free, so maybe some of them are, at this point.

I've also heard a rumour that James Brown threatened to sue the next person sampling "Funky Drummer". He died. Maybe Goldie pushed him down the stairs.

Second is a break I combined for use in a Batman theme remix that never saw the light of day:

Here's a heavy break at 175 for doing Limewax/Current Value-esque Skullstep stuff.

you can't slice these up because you'd loose all the punchyness in the drums. Already tried myself tons of times, and it always happens the same.
One of the infinite options to evade that problem is, with these same samples, create a common 4/4 pattern, then turning it into hard and rough, everything will become even clearer than that!
 
There is a break i've been looking for for quite some time now. I think it's very standard and well-known, and I think i've heard it in many tracks. Maybe it's the one used in eg. Loefah - Root

It's especially the rimshot that i find recognizable. I'm not shure but i think it's same break used in a lot of tracks, fx. by Icicle, Calyx and others. Maybe it has even been posted here already, but somehow I haven't found it. Does anyone know this one?

It's the 'Sport' I think. Found in this thread also.
 
Was the sandy break in here yet? I think sabre said he likes the shakers from it
 
just a curious question, why are some people posting MP3 breaks? Surely people do not use MP3 breaks in their tunes?
