1 Drop your Reggae listening recommendations here 🥁🙏🏼
Thanks everyone!
For one drop, Carlton Barrett; for rockers, Sly Dumbar; for steppers, Style Scott from the Roots Radics.
@@musamusashi that's the trinity right there :)
@@citizenbxtr883 true. Alongside the 3 bass players long associated with the above 3, Familyman Barret, Robbie Shakespeare and Flabba Holt, they make the top 3 Jamaican drums and bass ever.
@@musamusashi couldn’t agree more with this Top 3 of JA Drum & Bass combos! Also need to throw in the #4 being Carlton “Santa” Davis on drums with Phillip “Fully” Fullwood on bass both from the band Soul Syndicate
Groundation
I am half Jamaican, was raised on this music and all I can say is you did a damn good job explaining this.
Thank you very much 🙏🏼😊
Ya gotta give Stewart Copeland some love. While everyone thought they were listening to pop, Copeland, and co where playing Reggae
Very true 🙏🏼
Reggae influenced Rock, that is.
Reggae is only part of Stewart Copeland’s feel…also Middle Eastern ‘Baladi’ in there
So true!
Not reggae - reggata de Blanc.
Finally a tutorial that actually teaches how to play the reggae drum styles
I have a pair of those Zildjian 13" New Beat hi-hats also, perfect for this kind of music...so clear and crisp. Snare sounds perfect to my ears. Fun lesson, thank you.
Thank Sean!
I now play 13" New Beat hats. So cool!
14” new beats got em with my very 1st kit still sound great however I have my bottom hat on top
I bet you have the Stewart Copeland sound when ot comes to high hats, as he prefers the 13 inch sizes as well :).
@@CharlesTPrimm Those are my go-to hi-hats. they sound prerecorded and already mixed!
❤ love your preparation and presentation here, Chris. Wonderful job!❤
Thank you 🙌🏼
Chris...By far your reggae video is the best on youtube hands down...great play..great sound..love it..😊
Thank you very much 🙏🏼
Thanks!
Great Lesson! Nicely done.
Thank you 🙏🏼 😊
I love these reggae grooves! Stewart Copland really brought these grooves to life in rock and roll!
Darn I thought of the Police when listening to this also.
@@gerardi2000 Yeah man! It sounds a lot like some Stewart Copland stuff right? Ahhh so good!😁🥁
Was thinking the same thing. Classic early Police.
But you should think about The Police and Stewart when you hear this, right? No surprise, agreed?
@@skiphoffenflaven8004 MAIS steward avait un jeu beaucoup plus complet , et a une frappe beaucoup plus energique, walking on a moon est fantastique avec le delay (echo ), bring on the night (whoua), shadow in the rain (chef-d'œuvre ) ;tea in sahara (with the octobans set) j'ai vue the police 3 concerts 1980/ 1982/1983 stewart is the best drummer il a créé un style unique
Thanks Chris
You‘re welcome
Steve "Grizzly" Nisbett of Steel Pulse is by far my favorite reggae drummer. Listen to "Your House" for a great one-drop example. Grizzly was unique in that he pushed the reggae drummer envelope. Listen to Blues Dance Raid. I was absolutely blown away when I heard this for the first time. I still am. RIP Grizzly!
I couldn't agree more, I've seen Steel Pulse several times and I only realised just how good he was seeing them live
Listen to it LIVE or better yet go see them live in concert. They're in California right now
Steel pulse...first listening was mind blowing for me too. Such powerfull vibration man ..
True Democracy is still my favorite lp off all time it's killer!!
Great lesson! Thanks. Your feel is amazing and playing so clean!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Thanks Chris for your enthusiasm and energy ..
Thanks John
Amazing ❤
Excellent video! Thank you!
You‘re very welcome
Soft and simple so precious beat,,mind blowing...keep doing
I don't care the country of origin or color of the teacher. Only their methods and my results. Thank you for teaching us!
Thank You 🙏🏼
@@ChrisHoffmannTube Music doesn't have a colour. You shouldn't have mentioned it.
@@musician1000 That's why japanese people are very good at playing samba.
@@XWNLOX No one is born with rhythm, it's a learned skill. Familiarity through cultural exposure can make this easier, but it's not innate.
Yes, feel is important
👍🏼yes
Wow snare pops like crazy sick the sound is like smelling great food
HAHA thank you
How do you get the snare to sound like this??? It's incredible!!
Just wanted to say your hi hat sounds splendid my friend 😎
Thank you 🙏🏼
You have somehow found a wonderful way to mesh Teutonic clarity with the art of cultural isms,wunderbar!!
this means a lot. thank you
you played perfect
Thank you
Thank you for your thoughts
These is mwa❤ can't Stop watching it
snare sounds awesome great video thank you for doing this
Drums is the heartbeat, bassline is the brain.
I love the color of your drum kit!
Thanks 🙏🏼
Stumbled upon this randomly and really enjoyed it. Gorgeous snare sounds!
Thanks 🙏🏼
trust me bruv! Europeans know reggae big time! I give credit to were its due! more fire
Man this is the best reggae tutorial I have seen so far on UA-cam thnx pliz keep it up
Love the color if this Pearl President drumkit. Reaggae is fun to play on drums 😁
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.
U r my best reggae teacher 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
My pleasure buddy 🙌🏼🥁
Excellent vid. Listen to tons of dub and reggae but seeing you strip them patterns down to the fundamentals really great help for me to work on my technique.
Awesome. Thanks Steve 🙌🏼
Thanks for this lesson.
Greetings from Brasil.
Thank you 🇧🇷🙏🏼
This is an exceptional lesson delivery. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you 🙏🏼 You‘re welcome 🙌🏼🥁
This video was an exactly what Ii have been looking for. It totally breaks down the essential in such a way that it had me rocking in no time. You simply layer out my for favorite grooves to learn! Cheers
You‘re welcome and thank you 🙏🏼
I love reggae drumming. That, and the bass…ufff 🔥
It has really help my son a lot thank you.
Excellent Rudiments, Theory and Practices in Reggae, Rhythmic 🥁 genres...
Thank You 🙏🏼😊
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!!!
Amazing Instructor !
Thank you 🙏🏼
One drop beatifully explained and played! Awesome💯
Thank You 🙏🏼 🙌🏼
Hi chris
Very nice lesson thanks
What is the title of the song please ? I would like to play on it but Shazam can not find it
@@abitboljacques9385 It‘s a drum loop that I created by myself.
Great
Is it possible to share it ?
Or can I buy it ?
Thanks
Manh this is what I've been looking for, how on earth could i not subricrbe to this😊😍thanks man, now waiting for the reggae rolls
Excellent! Really like that the sheet notation scrolled along very helpful. Like the finish on those drums by the way.
Thank You Thomas 🥁
BEST REGGAE DRUMS LESSON ON YTֱ THANK YOUֱ
Thank You so much!
Thanks for sharing your experience. It will go a very long way to add flavor to my drumming and timing. Jah Jah bless you bro...!!!
You‘re welcome and thank you 🙏🏼
As a Jamaican drummer this is pretty accurate
thank you. I filmed a brand new lesson on creating reggae fills. Check it out and let me know what you think. Best, Chris
Great lesson
Thank you 🙏🏼
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.
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.
Brilliantly
thank you :)
¡Ah que bonita lección! Muy profesional y práctica. De verdad disfruté mucho
Thank you 🙏🏼
Good stuff bro, like the 1 drop big time
thank you John! :)
It's super feeling great work

Super super teaching 🖐️
thank you
Thanks 😊
An excellent class. Of course, is not supposed to cover everything about Reggae Drumming but it goes far beyond a simple introduction. Thanks for posting it!
Thank you Mario 🙏🏼🥁
Foreign territory for me. Thanks so much for explaining so well!
you're welcome and thanks
those orange sneakers with the blue drum kit! perfect.
This is great! I've been playing these grooves for years and didn't know what they were called. Any one of them, if you increase playback to 1.25 times normal speed, sounds like stuff I stole from Stewart Copeland (which, of course, he stole from the music he heard growing up). Thanks for helping to fill in the holes of my drum education.
AWESOME job on playing them reggae jams....I LIKE!!!
Very nice
Very nice … I’m enjoying your presentation …

Damn, you're good!!!🫡👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you for the lesson from Kenya
❤
Amazing... thanks
Nice one bro
Thanks 🙌🏼
Vinnie didn't know Raggae from a Pop-tart and his early recorded "Raggae" grooves were utterly contrived.
Excellent lesson. I really enjoyed the information.
thank you
This is a great tutorial, thankyou
😊 thank you 🙏🏼
Way cool! Great, easy to follow instruction, thanks! I also noticed the sound of the equipment is very helpful too. Looks like 13" HH, no res heads, tight tuning on stock heads. Sounds great
