    Don't forget Sly Dunbar in your reggae homework. Also work with putting ghost notes in there on the snare. You will know where to put them and what songs to put them in once the groove locks you in. Some songs just dictate a few extra snare hits, I can't explain it.

  • @luanpa69

    Vinnie Colaiuta di play (more or less) a couple reggaes with Sting but I think you meant Stewart Copeland with The Police when reggae rhythms were played often.

    • @musamusashi
      @musamusashi Рік тому +4

      Nor Vinnie nor Stewart play Reggae riddims, but most play Reggae inspired grooves. Vinnie does it often, not only with Sting but in many other tracks from Steely Dan to Djiavan to Jeff Beck... in fact, he has some of the best Reggae feels outside of Jamaica, although he plays more complex parts than you would do on authentic Reggae.

    When ever I play raggae: I always loosen the snare some and take off any ring damping on the snare head. And of course practice your rim shots. So important to the sound. Also the ruff is a great rudiment in this style, ending with a rim shot. Great flavor. In the Caribbean ( I lived and played there for about 10 yrs), another part of this style of music is improvised instruments like a car tire rim hit with a metal object. And other such improvised things. Great stuff, wonderful musicians and music.

    I've got a playlist on UA-cam called "Collie Reggae". It has a lot of modern reggae mixed with old school, dub, roots, all types and some funk mixed in for fun. Maybe some things in there you've not heard yet. Shrug.
    The most crucial element you missed and I'm sort of joking but sort of serious is you weren't letting a fat spliff burn in your mouth as you played 🤪. Ganja is as much a part of reggae as anything...all players, especially roots guys, smoking a spliff while playing isn't just some stoner musicians getting lit, it's religious music and ganja is the sacrament, not a cultural identity or a life style. A sacrament. I would say it's vital to playing good reggae drums.
    Great playing as always...love the concert Tom kit...I'm glad to see those kits are having a bit of a come back...I think they sound incredible!! Mad skills man...much love and thanks for making this video. Learned A LOT!!!
