Steppers Reggae Drum Beat - 5 Variations

[@ozbassplayer8596]

Gotta share this with one of the drummers I play with, who's stuck in 4/4 like LA traffic.

[@RhythmNotes]

Haha … I know the feeling.

Your reggae percussion videos are outstanding. Looking forward to more of these.

[@RhythmNotes]

I’m glad you like them. I have a few more in the cue.

Man, this is so "OMG" well-thought out/organized and presented ! Thank-you ! I am ridiculously envious of the percussion skill, and just as envious of the organization and presentation skills ! I really enjoyed this, in case it isn't obvious ...

[@RhythmNotes]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I am looking for the term used on a staggered reggae beat with a repeated one count that is simultaneously played with the guitar, keys and bass, I'm sorry if that was vague but a good example is Damian Marley's live version of Jamrock at AOL at around 0:55 in the video

[@RhythmNotes]

In Afro-Cuban music it's called the tresillo. I've heard people call it the surdo kick like from Brazilian samba. That rhythm is also common in the calypso drum set parts in Trinidad. But I don't know about dubstep.

@@RhythmNotes thanks we were writing songs and i was calling those rockers, I find it very common on reggae esque dancehall songs

[@elgrupocachedallas9685]

Very nice grooves! What songs would you recommend to listen to for the style?

[@RhythmNotes]

Check out these songs on the Bob Marley Legend album ..."Is This Love," "Buffalo Soldier," "Satisfy My Soul," "Exodus," "Jamming"

@@RhythmNotes Great, I’ll get started listening and learning!
