Sly n Robbie are living legends. Sorry I cannot comment about Sly without saying Robbie. A very humble man who does his thing for the love of music not for fortune or to brag.

I first got introduced to Sly Drumbar (Dunbar) and Robbie Shakespeare through Peter (the Rebel) Tosh's 1976/77 released record album titled, "EQUAL RIGHTS & JUSTICE". Ever since, Sly made me a Believer and his drum follower. And that was over 40 years ago. I wish him many more decades of great RIDDIMS. Amen.

The triplets on the hi-hat is a very difficult technique. Coupled with that, he is playing an open hi-hat. I respect his steadiness and focus. Notice he kinda lost concentration but quickly recovered using the rolls an flams towards the end.

The rockers pattern may sound easy to musicians...or drummers... but I'd like to see you try doing those hi-hat patterns whilst dropping in those little snare accents and keeping them tight because let me tell you... Reggae sounds the most simple beats but in reality... it's one of the hardest to master...Sly is just laying it down here for the track...if he just jammed out without the track on headphones...he would blow your little tiny minds clean apart...go and listen to Black Uhuru "Tear it up" live and then come back.... and if that ain't enough... Glastonbury 1980's...The guy is a genuine master...is it easy....ha...The cow doesn't know the use of his tail... until the butcher cuts it off.... some youths just don't get it...no respect... open their mouths without realising they sound foolish...
@mgsee5 жыл бұрын
Surprised that Sly is still using Koss K6 headphones from the 70's - I use to have a pair and I don't recall them being pretty ordinary, so I would think that compared to more current equipment they would be lag way behind in terms of sound quality. It would therefore be interesting to find out why he still uses them.

Sly doesn't use much profanity, here he is addressing the recording engineer Delroy Pottinger, nicknamed Fatta (when you meet him, you will see why) so he's going: "eh? eh? what this Fatta?" because Fatta had stopped recording because there was a change in pattern at that time that Sly wasn't aware of, hence the rest of the conversation
