Trying to identify a drum break used in a lot of trip hop tracks. The drum break i am talking about has been used by Morcheeba, Portishead, Zero7, Massive Attack, Sneaker pimps, etc. As an example, its the drum track on "Morcheeba - blood like lemonade" sounds like an old Akaisampler break I once heard but im not sure. I love that short snappy snare. Any ideas?

 

Sounds like an edited version of this...

 

Paul_Godfrey programmed that beat, probably akai s950

Some more ideas

 

It's none of the above :D

To me, that sounds like a programmed Pattern with individually sampled drums. Kick, Snare, Hi-Hat etc.

 

Not sure , guess it may be parts of a break chopped & processed & layered, the rhythm pattern is simple and indeed sounds as it has been used for some of the above mentioned groups.
What you think, maybe the basic for this particular drums could be from this break:
