 Break (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most well known are breaks from soul and funk music such as the Amen break and the Funky drummer.
break as "breaks are for the drummer; breakdowns are for hands in the air" (ibid), a reference to the majority of breaks stripping away other instruments and leaving the drums or percussion.
A common percussive signature of the breakdown is the use of the ride on the 'and' of beat three and the back beat of four every measure of the breakdown, assuming each crash cymbal hit is treated as a beat.

 Breakbeat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Breakbeat (sometimes breakbeats or breaks) is a term used to describe a collection of sub-genres of electronic music, usually characterized by the use of a non-straighted 4/4 drum pattern (as opposed to the steady beat of house or trance).
In the 1970s, hip-hop DJs (starting with DJ Kool Herc) began using several breaks (the part of a funk or jazz song in which the music "breaks" to let the rhythm section play unaccompanied) in a row to use as the rhythmic basis for hip-hop songs.
This may occur because the tempo of breaks tracks (ranging from 115 to 150 beats per minute) means they can be readily mixed with these genres, whereas the comparatively fast speed of jungle and drum and bass (165-180 bpm) may have restricted the utility of these subgenres to DJs playing slower-tempo music.

 Hip-hop: breaks-beats, sticky sampling - Arts & Living
Whether a sample seems really obvious or the producer makes great attempts to hide their sources, the point is that these men are paying tribute to those artists that they sample.
For example, when producer Buckwild samples the break from David Axelrod's "Holy Thursday," he is basically expressing that he is inspired by Axelrod's music and wants to reconfigure his work to form something that he can use as his own form of self-expression.
The point is that hip-hop music was founded on the DJ looping a popular instrumental break to create a beat that was easy to listen to and more importantly, fun to dance to.

Blue Note released the two volume Blue Break Beats compilation in the early '90s.
The music on Blue Break Beats dates from the late '60s and early '70s, when a large portion of Blue Note's soul-jazz artists began experimenting with funk and rock, creating dense electric fusions that concentrated on rhythm, not improvisation.
By the early '90s, this jazz/rap/funk fusion had become hip and profitable, which led Blue Note to assemble the Blue Break Beats compilations.

is an audio installation that unfolds a critical perspective of perhaps the most sampled drum beat in the history of recorded music, the Amen Break.
It begins with the pop track Amen Brother by 60's soul band The Winstons, and traces the transformation of their drum solo from its original context as part of a 'B' side vinyl single into its use as a key aural ingredient in contemporary cultural expression.
This as well as other issues are foregrounded through a history of the Amen Break and its peculiar relationship to current copyright law.
