[@markchindemi1438]

This was terrific. Nice pace, and great grooves

[@chezchezchezchez]

I love this. This is really fantastic. Everybody should learn a little reggae, obviously. :-)

[@bassiehd]

This is a great lesson! But I'm pretty sure the great Carly Barrett didn't invent the "one drop"...that distinction would go to either Lloyd Knibb, the Skatalites' legendary drummer, and/or Winston Grennan, who played on thousands of rocksteady and reggae recordings in the mid to late '60s, and was a mentor to Barrett and others including Santa Davis and Sly Dunbar. I'm not trying to sell Carly short; his 7-stroke roll and sparse, muscular style are simply incredible.

[@bodhi9464]

Loved this clip gents ... thank you... many years ago, I saw a reggae band in Melbourne- Australia .. that band was “Man Friday” - I was absolutely enamoured for this style of music from that moment on... they played in one of our well known surf area - pubs and the band was cookin’ and the crowd were pumped 🏄‍♂️💦🎶🇦🇺

[@uphillracer]

Love it!

[@DonBilly2016]

Nice one 👍

[@Rudeboy008]

I don't know how to get ahold of Ben but tell him thanks. I'm gonna look him up. I live in Tulsa Tulsa and ska and rocksteady are my favorite kinds of music. I don't know a lot of people that can play different kinds of ska on drums. So I figured I was just gonna figure it out myself and I came across this and was really surprised when he said "ponca city" all of a sudden.lol

[@christophercabrera1096]

What kind of hi hat your using? Thanks

[@tonycarpenter-Makzimia]

I’ll finally learn Reggae for first time in 20 years!. Thank you guys. I couldn’t feel it before this lesson seriously. Always just out of touch.

[@martintronconi4927]

Excellent !!!!

[@DJNAU676]

10:00 you forget to mansion #LuckyDube he got the outstanding reggae drum on his song his not really known like Bob but his the King of Reggae but Bob is the Lione

[@mrbtapir]

Good video. And good stories/history. With the first beat, are either of the hats accented or both played similar? Like 2-and 4-and. Know what I mean? You know like in samba or bossa nova where you accent the second of each of the two beats on the kick.

[@justiceteacher8906]

Good news

[@АлексейСпортесный]

Круто. Очень непривычная нотная запись

[@funkytomtom]

This cat is cool as hell. And he gives credit to Carlton Barrett, the GOAT.

[@Bring_MeSunshine]

Fantastic video, Ben is a great drummer, great grooves. Just one thing, I think the record Stevie Wonder plays the drums on is Innervisions, not Songs In The Key Of Life

[@shirazyn4600]

He plays drums on many songs in Songs In The Key Of Life, but not all.

[@danielwetzel7777]

Man drummers always seem to be having a good time

[@j-tv3959]

Lupit naman

[@johndriskol6073]

Is it not called one drop because the bass drum note that had been played on one was dropped?

[@japaobateradrums2067]

Eita pegaaaaa tooop lembrar-se bateras unidos jamais será vencidos ☕.

[@AndyDrudy]

Nice playing. However those grooves are compound time in groups of 3's so the charts are confusing as they are written in 16th notes which is wrong.

[@jonatancastano6268]

Saludos desde Colombia, muy bueno tu programa, por favor ecualiza mejor l batería

[@shanejohnson7603]

Although Carlton Barrett was a master of the one drop...Count Ossie and Lloyd Knibbs were playing it long before Carly...indeed even Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace who was close friends with him...let's say he took a variation from a theme and made it his own by playing it in a certain style that is unmistakable...he brought it to the masses 🥁

[@aqpdrummer]

Hi. So I programm the rythms in the Polynome app using 16th notes, and they doesn´t sound exactly like in the video. I think they soud closer using 12th notes. I just know the basics about reading and writing.

[@mohddalibinzali1165]

I see like the chapter is not as same as he'd playing.. Its that true?

[@AndyDrudy]

The grooves should be written in triplets not strainght 16ths.

[@flstudiocodemastersejayrag6544]

Yes Bob Marley was Great. I have him on Vinyl Record,⏺️it's a Awesome time, the 50's::60's:the:70's: & 80's✌🏽...

[@aijiang]

Listen to King Tubby

[@hados1853]

i played master blaster at my year 12 exam and i wish i watched this video before i did it

[@geneclemetson4779]

That's not Reggae.

[@groovinkeyz]

I'm a pianist. I'm no raggae or a drum guru... But does this has a "raggae sound"? I thought the snare should be tune higher and has a "wood bloock" kinda character? The hat should has more of a "hizz" sound? No offense... but it sounds like a rock sound on a raggae pattern. Educate me, if I am wrong.

[@barryklus]

true that, but there are different styles, some more rootsie, some rockish, many offshoots

[@devonrichardson9467]

One more thing guys, sorry, I have to teach this here in Jamaica so I speak a lot. Please stop thinking of the basic Reggae feel in triplets. While it is not wrong it does not tell the whole story and it causes problems.

[@4thecollectors]

Prince played drums

[@buenafro]

What i have realized in all these videos explaining how ti play reggae, is that nobody really play the hihat as it should. And all these stickings sounds a lot to all those pop-reggae american bands.

[@robgriff7491]

Carlton Barrett didn't invent the one-drop, but he made it his own. The drummer credited with inventing it is Winston Grennan.

[@jonathansalvi878]

Thanks for telling the truth here! I was quite chocked to here this from this guy. Just reading one article and you know it's not true....

[@127bond]

I can hear it, but I can't remember it.

[@davecurle7193]

Er.. Sly Dunbar Leroy Wallace ,Style Scott .... The list is endless as is the music ! Marley ? A small but significant part.. X

[@geneclemetson4779]

Exactly. Big Raspect to Carly but you know the deal.

[@melancholy.xander]

One triplet two let three let four

[@azaleajanemusic]

Why *wouldn't* I learn reggae drums?

[@jensharald9091]

I don't know why you didn't transcribe it in triplets?

[@monomakes]

Called the One drop, because the one is dropped, no?

[@Rudeboy008]

Also, there's so many other great artists besides the Marleys. Let the other pioneers get some props.

[@MrCannatopia]

I’m currently a happy accident

[@my3442]

Don't be shy,men...

[@devonrichardson9467]

Hey guys it is good that people around the world are catching on to the simplicity but beauty of Reggae, but please get your information correct. As you stated there are a lot of stories out there, I have my own. Most of them are piece of a whole and a lot are based off of ignorance. First the One Drop did not start in Reggae, it was already in Ska and later Rocksteady. If anyone is to be credited with it, it would be the drummers from that era, namely the late Lloyd Knibbs. Number two, the name One drop has fooled a lot of people who do not read music. Therefore like yourself the obvious takes place, you base the name on how it is played, meaning one drop to the bar, and the only beat it would sound good on is three. Wrong concept. Reggae is like regular pop music and therefore is governed by the same principles of 4/4 time. It uses the backbeat which is 2 and 4 in that time signature. Reggae is also played in 2/4 time but we will not realize it without understanding the theory. This is just like the problems we have with compound time. We think compound time is only 6/8, and some even think 3/4 is compound time. Lastly, I did not finish watching your video because of the many errors so I don't know if you have the same understanding as another person doing the same thing. There was one person explaining that there are three beats, or something like that. He said they have three names, one is the One Drop, the other is Steppers (this one is grossly misunderstood), and the third is ROCKERS. Before my friend Sly Dunbar became popular to the public here in Jamaica, we were calling the music Rockers. It is not a variation.

[@nikolas_stratigos]

Very well said!! Personally I didn't even bother to watch the whole video, as soon as I heard that the bass drum is on three.

[@clayonfiresticks403]

Only if they knew Who Mr. Devon Richardson is. Very well said Sir. I don't know why most of these drum teachers thinks that Jamaican pop music starts at one drop.

[@thomasbentin2205]

On every video of reggaedrumming I see there are always people complaining that they play it and explain it wrong. Where then, as a beginner drummer should I go to learn the real reggae??? And I cannot go to Jaimaica at the moment....please enlighten me/us.

[@mikeday2393]

horse mouth invented the one drop

[@tame1999]

95% of the reggae instructional videos I've seen are fifty years behind the times. Nobody plays that triplet hi-hat beat anymore. Yeah, you need to know the foundations of the music, but contemporary reggae drumming has moved way beyond what drummers like Barrett were doing in the 70s (more energetic, dancehall, gospel and hip-hop inspired drumming going on). Smh. You're better off watching any live performance by Romain Virgo, Beres Hammond, Chronixx, Morgan Heritage to learn how to play reggae.

[@nikolas_stratigos]

I respect the time and effort to make that video, but you have so many mistakes....please do a better research.

[@Rastafromfl]

This guy isn't a prime example of roots reggae drumming 🤦 go pop over to karigans lol

[@bigtimedrum]

Carlton did'nt invent the one drop , do your homework, SMH!!

[@thedeevineswebenquiries]

Fe Real!! Winston Grennan is the man credited for the one drop riddim, although I must say Carly Barrett did take it to a complete whole new level with his amazing triplet hi-hat patterns

[@bigtimedrum]

Also Lloyd Knibb has some influence too .

[@thedeevineswebenquiries]

A true dat! This drummer should know the background of the one drop much better if he really ‘loves’ reggae music.

[@bigtimedrum]

I think 180 should have gotten a real reggae drummer ,like tony williams from third world,santa davis or any drummer who has experience in reggae, even me cuz I have the experience.

[@NashvilleDrumCoach]

Dean Beckford hey brother. It’s not really known with certainty who invented the rhythm. But Carlton made it famous all over the world. Notice I didn’t mention any of the other drummers who were early innovators. Hope this clears some things up.

[@bigtimedrum]

Also reggae is on the 2 and 4, a classic prof of this is ,listen to the song ,waiting in vain ,carly counts off the song, this guy clearly is giving bad information.

[@melinmove]

You spend too much time talking

[@bishopoftroy]

Awful snare tone. Definitely not reggae.

[@shaneamajohnson6006]

Why do American drummers call it the cross stick...its a rim shot...carlton barrett himself called it this...when I hear the word cross stick...9 times out of 10 they were probably taught that which isn't really a bad thing...but...a lot of drummers are self taught...you garner your own style more naturally that way...you can watch a thousand drummers but it's not what you hit it's what you don't hit...I'm not complaining here...it's all relative...if you are hungry for drums you can never get your fill...because we never stop learning...peace out👊😷👌

[@chiselcheswick5673]

Ahh the old cliche 'its not what you hit, its what you dont hit...' Bit like Eric Morecamb playing the piano randomly then saying 'all the right notes are there - just in the wrong order'.

[@evilferris]

And now every white-bread wannabe drummer plays the same way. Congrats. :/ And now you’re one too.
