The amen beat is a drum break from a record called Amen Brother by The 
Winstons (Metromedia, 1969).  The break is normally "chopped up" into the 
individual "hits" (or sometimes into 8 equal pieces) using a tool such as 
Recycle (by Propellerheads, although there are various different tools that 
do the same job) and re-sequenced in your sequencer of choice, be it Fruity 
Loops, Reason, Cubase, whatever.

Check out www.spinwarp.com, www.dnbproduction.net or www.dogsonacid.com (the 
grid) for tons of info on this subject.

Also, do yourself a favour, don't get obsessed with the amen, its a great 
break but heavily over-used, if you're insistant upon using it, try and do 
something new and innovative with it...

Shodan.
