 Those got used all sorts of times in early hip hop. It's this famous reverb-y drum beat that they did, I believe in like a stairwell or something like that. It's got a really distinct sonic quality to it and hip hop artists loved it and sampled it a lot early on. To be exact, the drums are sampled in over 220 songs. From Dr. Dre to the Beastie Boys to Bjork, they've all copied. It seems everyone is copying.
