Perfect topic for Café Society rather than General Questions. Moved.

that sounds for all the world like the “Amen Break.” sampled and used in many other songs, most notably hip-hop.

My first thought was, “Me, Myself, and Irene”

If it’s the right commercial, I don’t hear anything that sounds like Funky Drummer or the Amen break. It sounds like a generic 16note hi hat drum pattern, more rock in feel than funk. It doesn’t have any of those off-beat accents you hear in stuff like Funjy Drummer or the Amen Vreak.
