The "funky drummer" break is one of the most used sampled drum loops in hip-hop and drum and bass genres together with the amen break which is more related to drum and bass.
The original song from which the break is sampled is James Brown's 1960s song "Funky drummer", an instrumental cut by James Brown and his band. The drums on the original song are played by Clyde Stubblefield, who was the drummer for Brown's band at that time.
