This tutorial is 100% 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Playing drums for the past 30 years: I've done clinics at schools on playing the basics of Reggae grooves Calypso/Soca Riddims. My background comes from Trinidad playing in Reggae,Soca & SteelBands. This has to be one of the best tutorials I've seen representing our culture of Caribbean Music. Thank you so much for this tutorial and I will definitely bring some cats to this channel. Much Respect!!!!
Thanks man 🙂🙏🏽
i'm 18 years old, just started getting my name out to the local community. last night i absolutely rocked the jazz jam, i got called one of the best cats in the county.
i met a college band director there, he said that there's going to be a bunch of connections at the next event he's hosting. the event is reggae night. im trusting you Rob.
Rob, I want to thank you man. You touched a part of my soul that comes from long ago. I use to play drums as a young man. I was on two records back in the sixties. One was a master and one was a dove. Vietnam took me away and I haven't played drums again in over 50 years. I have raised my family and I still feel like a king at 72 years old. After watching you , I decided to drum again since that was one of my first loves of my life. I ordered and got my new kit a few days ago. I got a nice place to get my groove on; so keep your videos coming and continue to wake up the dead. because I am learning .Give the drummer some!!!!
I like how you play very relax, my father was the greatest Reggae drummer carlton Barrett Bob marley and the wailers original drummer. One Love
Your pops was THEE Carlton Barrett? 😲 RISpeck!! 👊🏽
You demystified reggae for me.
Well said
That was probably the best intro of any UA-cam video ever. 😂
never saw this coming. Reggae has always scared me because I was clueless/ stiff. Thanks for the template; it's helping already.
4:20 when I started hearing “Stir it up”
Great video man and thanks for the awesome Raggae loops!
I'm glad you ran it with the music... it wasn't easy to feel the 1 when it was just the drums. Came together nicely... very cool.
great video lesson man! Thank you
As always, mind blown! Thanks Rob.
Rob, thank you for the great videos. You are a fabulous player, and pass in a bunch of incredible ideas for us all to practice. Wishing you every success
Great information!! Thank you!!
So cool love it, thanks!
Just found your channel and have been digging through. Great resources here, thank you man.
Thanks for the Reggae Loops Awesome🤘🏻🎹🥁
I really enjoy your videos. You are a great teacher. Thank you!
Rob, thanks for the time and effort you put into your lessons. You have definitely mastered your craft and it’s evident that you are passionate about drums and about sharing your knowledge with others. Your teaching style is loose and relaxed and that is conducive to loose and relaxed practice. You are the best! Your knowledge and experience are top notch. Truly beneficial.
Lol @ the way you asked that first question. Thanks for dropping the wisdom.
Thank a lot bro u such a great teacher Rob
Thanks Rob... you are an inspiration man. keep up the good work...
Enlightening as always. I have been playing reggae groves for half a lifetime and never connected the dots to the swing ride pattern. Pretty work Rob.
Thank you Rob Brown
Great tip! 🔥🥁🔥👍
You are just fun to watch over and over again Rob☺️ keep the beats live man! I am your student from Ottawa ,Canada😁
Drumming is so sacred..... Clearly clearly your DNA..... Bless brother I look forward to more
Great vid!
Thank you so much for this video. I have been a reggae freak since the 70's. Have seen hundreds of shows and tried to convince bands I have been in to play it, sometimes successfully. Just 3 days ago I was given the opportunity to record with a band that has been around for years with a solid roots foundation. Then comes this video. Thanks for breaking it down.
Thank you for making this man. You’re a good teacher if even I can understand the lesson. You’ve taught me so much in the past couple hours that I’ve never thought of in 27 years of drumming.
Hey Rob, thx for this one-I never looked at it this way. It would definitely help my hi-hat feel to frame the groove using those cymbal ostinatos.
Also, the kit sounds amazing and your groove is spot on!
Such great advice! Wisdom!
It's a great approach, just break it down into the simplest elements, make those solid and then start marrying it to the music. Need to remember that. 🔥👌🏻
Awesome! I'm now there yet just a beginner but I love listening to you play!
Beat down brown giving me all my lesson plans for decades to come Lord willing. Love your lessons man!
Great man
This channel is the right spot every time
Great lesson Rob, I also enjoyed your stick trick in the beginning
Thank you Rob this have helped me so much I now have a better idea 💡 about reggae and the feel that what was missing from my playing nuff respect 🙏
Thanks Rob I love your teaching method it works for me here in the uk 👍🏻🏴🥁
I had to learn how to play Raggae by ear in the 90's when there was no UA-cam. Just sitting in the garage playing along to lots of Bob Marley! Wish I had this video back then, would have saved me alot of trial and error! :)
Immediately helpful. Rob, you’ve made me a better drummer. Thank you!
Nice work❤️👍
This man’s groove is otherworldly!!
Brilliant !
Bless up 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Thank a lot for this lesson
It would be very helpfull for my druming...👌👌👌
Fantastic feel R B:-)👍
Awesome. More reggae grooves and fills, please. Cheers.
Thankyou 🥁
Thank you sir u are my role model and I have learned many new beats from u thank u sir
Fantastic feel R B:-)👍 Great tutorial as always:-)
100 bro love your videos thank you
Beautiful. I love this music as a drummer as it’s just fun! And that’s always the foundation of my playing. If it’s not fun, it’s work!😂
Thank you sir u are my role model and I have learned many beats from u thank u
Very lovely bit💪💪
Awesome!
Love it! Great video, Rob! I gotta tell you that growing up in Austin, Texas, I was friends with a couple of the guys in Michael E. Johnson and the Killer Bees, and their drummer, Ishmael, taught me a lot about drumming one-to-one because I hung out with them, and he shared his knowledge with me. Great guy, great drummer, great band-late '80's Austin. I also learned my backbeat technique from reading a Sly Dunbar interview in Modern Drummer-the way he described just dropping the stick on the rim to get that crack without having to hit the drum really hard; and I visualized it and Sly was absolutely right. I got introduced to reggae because of The Police, but also the cool reggae bands in Austin, and my drumming technique and style owes a lot to that music, so Bravo to You for making this video. Speaking of The Police, and I know you're a big SC fan, a nice follow-up to this clip would be a breakdown of "One World (Not Three) from the Spirits album. That's a tour-de-force bit of reggae drumming if I ever heard one and I'd love to get your take on it. Thanks again for the great clip!
I had the good fortune of living/performing in West Africa for about 4 years. As soon as my gig ended I'd jump in a cab and head to a reggae club called Parker Place to purge myself and absorb the energy and good vibes. The band (THE WISEMEN) played non-stop from 9-3AM and they were always on point. Rockin and swayin to Morgan Heritage, Lucky Dube, Etana et al kept me grounded while we earned our ducats slingin Lady Gaga, Shakira and Britney covers to backing tracks, with no bassist (ugh). This takes me back to the place i called 'mon eglise' (my church) during my time in Africa. For me, reggae was as much about the cultural experience of celebrating through our struggles, and the realization that we have more in common than what differentiates us. But it was also that those differences, like musical styles, are what makes life beautiful. Great feel, man. Like my friend Ras Kalif would tell me "gotta make it bubble", and your shit is absolutely percolating! Bless up!
what a great video! thoroughly impressed...as always!
Thanks, Mista Weeeese! 👊🏾🙂
Glad you showed this. I was one of the many who thought he understood how to play this feel, until one late night after hours gig at a small underground Reggae Jam. I was playing and they all just stopped. They weren’t mean, but it was clear I needed to get off the stage lol After that I took it upon myself to truly bury myself in the music until I got it. It also helped me play many other styles, even though they wouldn’t be considered “Reggae”. Still to this day, Carlton Barret is one of my favourite players. On the album, “Rastaman Vibration”, there’s a song called, “Positive Vibration”, where he does a syncopated swing as well. Love that feel too.
I am saving this video to hard drive, so beautiful oh! To play, guess, I need few months of practising these to be able to just repeat this.
salute.... keep it up mate
You killed that
I have found reggae is easily one of the most endurance tolling drum styles out there. Thank you for the tips. As a rock drummer reggae is my guilty pleasure
Hi Rob..I remember the hip hop swing template one ages ago...swing that reggae man😁😁😁
yo Rob! you roll!
❤ thank you so much you are the king of UA-cam drumming...the best...a true master❤❤❤❤
Connecting to my roots these days. this is the first video that gives me the foundation beneath all of the beauty.
Awesome
1:48 What the... That was the first thing I was taught when I began drum lessons in the 1970s. Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, Louie Bellson. Sits up and pays close attention...
OK, wish I could give this more than one Like. And all the other comments resonate so much too.
I'm more into reggae than jazz, but now I use jazz to warm up before playing reggae :)
Immer wenn ich Rob sehe und höre, möchte ich mich sofort an mein drumkit setzen und es nachspielen. Ich spiele an sich Rock/ Hard Rock, aber es ist trotzdem interessant zu sehen, wie easy eigentlich doch Reggae funktioniert. Super- Schlagzeuglehrer!!
yes it does until a little after 4 o clock
6 seconds in BAM! You are the "Rich rebuilds" but for drums!
Cool cool running my Brother
Dude thanks for this (brand new to drums) Another great resource on all things reggae and specifically the percussive aspects of the riddim is DM Kahn. Note he’s an engineer, less a musician but he breaks down the approach to designing the percussion really well IMO.
excellent video. Thanks for the great tips. Now what about the bass drum? On the drop? on the quarters or the eighth notes?
Teach Rob
Dis dude is pretty rad & real 2 Real Drum Teacher !
Rob, you are playing trioles with R hand around 9:15, I already perfected double-stroked, but, can you, please make a detailed video about how to play 3, 4, 5, 6,8 strokes with 1 hand? Pleaase!
Legit!
wow! i'm doing a gig tomorrow and there'll be some reggae...improvisation...and i had no clue what to play. i'm so glad i came here, you definitely gave me some confidence now...i still have no idea what to play, but now i know HOW to deal with it)lol))thank you so much!!
Fake it ‘til you make it 🤘🏽
The Paistes are sounding particularly good today. Any chance of a run-down of what you were using for this video? 602 Modern Essentials? Cheers Rob.
Hey Rob! Great stuff. Never thought of thinking about swing with a reggae beat. Great concept.
i love this music and my son is going to love his Tee shirt... i have a snare drum, but i am seriously out of rythm...
I think my favorite part of these videos is that I never feel pandered to. As a musician capable of understanding technical concepts from other instruments, other tutorials and guides always feel like they say "this is a stick. This is a drum. Hit the stick with the drum. Goooood. Would you like a cookie?". Not Mr. Brown here. He says here's some sticks now play along and feel it. Also, here's a little bit of technical if you really feel like it. Thanks, man. You deserve all the success you can get with this.
So good at what you do. Damn Bruh… Inverted had an entirely different feel then that backtracking hit and mind blown. For real Rob. Well Done..
Underated
7:39 I think you just hummed the guitar intro to These Boots Are Made For Walking
From Belgium BIG UP (not much needed to say, best shit ever)
Mahalo!
soooooo happy i think you are the first one to say what im tryin to explain to people for so long! such an easy thing ton play but only few people can make it groove and make you wanna dance. So much people place reggae music in the easy repetitive talentless kind of music but you realize everything the second you try to play a king rasta bob song and you realize you sound like a big bag full of poop! Big Up Rob jah bless!! can you come in quebec to be my teacher plz!? 😂👍🏻💪🇨🇦🇯🇲
dang just made it easier to play reggae thank you
Sadly everything about my drumming sucks. Nice videos man. Cheers from Mexico!
Damn man, that snare sounds so good!
Bell Brass?
Haha, just in time !
My bandmates suggested picking up some reggae on our playlist last week. Now I can be prepared.
By the way, this video looks a lot like the one you did in december 2018. Only the headband is missing ?
9:05 AMAZING SNARE SOUND=)))
Could you expand on it by demonstrating one-drop and other bass drum patterns as well as some typical funky reggae breaks? Also, how to get that "pang" reggae snare crack?
subscribed boss
NICE.......
