This is all very well, but he's using the picture from wikipedia when you search 'amen break'
He may have some crazy theory on it but his source material consists of the last two bars of the break, with the first half of the first kick cut off...
(Yes i was sad enough to compare waveforms) |
Yeah I compared them as well and I was like "bahaa then it's based on nothing really"
But actually it is, since the ratios remain lol |
lol my maths is too crap to have figured out if the rules still applied if using the whole break :p

I did some sums and the golden ratio is everywhere in music especially drum and bass.
roughly 8/13 as the large part and 5/13 as the smaller
in a normal 4.4 time signature 8/13 is 9.85/16 which is 10/16 ish
this is the time that syncopated second kick hits in alot of drum and bass,
hip hop and other modern music drum patterns.
Hit highlighted in "" is the 'golden ratio note.
("K"-h-S-hshs"K"-S-h-)
this point (10/16ths) can also be where the second main snare hit is on more syncopated beats
("K"-h-S-K-h-"S"-hshs)
Also if the (Phi) number is 1.6180339 isn't the original Amen at 161.180 bpm?
seem to remember something like that.
Magic tempo?
might experiment with some frequency stuff to get the golden notes .......

the author of this wrote the book "A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe: Mathematical Archetypes of Nature, Art, and Science." reading more into the golden ratio i do feel there's a lot of hype on top of it.
