It's hard not to spend a good 30 minutes goofing around with video and commercial director Ron Winter's virtual keyboard of dance rock sounds. I now want to include the George Michael "uhhh" in everything.
Play with QWERTY Rock
Thanks, Metafilter.
Note: hit the head at the top of the keybad for the famous drum riff from Chuck Brown & the Soul Searchers' "Ashley's Roachclip", as used by Eric B. & Rakim, Milli Vanilli, and many others.
Oh my God, there goes all of my free time.

The sequence L-LLL-L-LL-LL-X roughly approximates the hook from Bell Biv Devoe's "Poison".
Can someone tell me the name of the break you hear when you press the head? I recognize it, but I can't place it.

Why it's perhaps the most sampled sample to ever be sampled - James Brown's "Funky Drummer".

Whoops. Right you are - it's that other famously sampled drum riff. I just updated the post to include it.
