[@jracerichards]

My dad was One of the Original Skatalites And he would like what you did here

[@1a2b3c4d5f6g7h8i9l]

Junior Richards .... I'm crazy for Skatalites! I 'm a drummer and with my own band we play many Skatalites tunes. We put in this our Hart and many many respect. ... Who was your father? God bless you!!!

[@dionknibb585]

Junior Richards who was your dad

[@nehemiahzo_]

7 years later we still don’t know who his dad is

[@jracerichards]

@@nehemiahzo_ My father is Richard Ace.

[@nehemiahzo_]

Junior Richards oh that’s sick dude

[@evanparker]

As someone who has been playing traditional ska, on bass, for most of my life, Gil here really seems to know what he is talking about. I am even slightly suprised this is the case, since so many people continue to get it wrong. His groove is pretty rad.

[@karlschneider9479]

I was in the Allstonians from their formation and we were lucky enough to have had Lloyd Knibb train the drummers we had. Lloyd sat in with us sometimes as he lived just outside Boston.

[@zenith.68]

@@karlschneider9479 Marvellous, you got to learn from the Master. This is our Ska/Soul mash-up. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqq6eISmgrJ8e5Y

[@DiegoGarel]

Bass player it's from Jump with joey!! 🤟❤️

[@CheckeredPast]

Such a great DVD thank's for putting it out there for non drummers and generally SKA history!

[@simonoxley3711]

Great lesson. I heard this guy on the drum history podcast.

[@francislema4151]

Excellent Gil Sharone

[@evanparker]

Gil is surprisingly informed about real ska beats! i'm very impressed by this. Dillinger fucking rocked too haha.

[@Schmidthorst69]

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! You are really the first and only drumming teacher on youtube who explains this riding on the hi hat bell. I'm also playing the drums in a traditional ska and rocksteady band but I only had a teacher for four months. It was nearly all about self education. And this riding on the hi hat bell is so important to sound like Lloyd Knibb. But I never could imitate it exactly. So I think I'll get your DVD very soon!! ;-) Run di riddim!

[@irelandjason8739]

great lesson. iv been playing trad ska for a long time and still havent got it down..

[@gleventhal]

Gil, if you read these, I am a reggae/ska (and others) bass player (played with itals, nysje, some of the culture guys, etc..) If you are in NY, hit me up please. I am looking to get into some serious projects again.

[@johnnyb8825]

I've read a couple of times that the one-drop drumming style originated in rocksteady (1966/67), but the drumming in ska (which came before rocksteady) also seems to be a version of the one-drop.

[@yudhapd1281]

Terima kasih gan 👍🏽 Sangat bermanfaat . [Beginner Drummer from Indonesia 🇮🇩] #Rispek #MantapSoul

[@markinobrown4664]

Your teaching is very good

[@magnetmaz]

The DVD is awesome..i've watched it a few times through already. I play rocksteady on an old slingerland kit that's very resonant...and i was happy to hear Gil confirm my setup that Ska / Rocksteady be done on a 60's kit....but that Marley-style 70's reggae be done on a really muted setup ( not my thing at all ).

[@teasnax]

@frezzeline ~ i don't remember what this Ska cover is called, or who it was [i think i heard Hepcat do it once as well], but the original jazz tune it's based on is called Coming Home.

[@simongarrettmusic]

thanks that sounds lovely - skatalites!!

[@DavidChoiDrumz]

His feel is sooooo good..

[@angeljazzpop]

this is authentic ska

[@haxanjonsson6195]

my mom played with herself listening to the original Skatalites in the early 70'ies

[@haxanjonsson6195]

@@TheFreemanuk i told her that too....

[@TheCivildecay]

LOL thats Gil Sharone the drummer that played on Ire Works by the dillinger escape plan? :)

[@elcucuy138]

TheCivildecay the very same one

[@nehemiahzo_]

Damn the metal man is doing ska now. That’s versatility right there

[@evanparker]

Dillinger escape plan is outrageously good!

[@funkymunkydrummer]

cool beat! can't wait to get this!

[@CheckeredPast]

@gleventhal AH right on, Well the Forthrights were Vic and Chris Murray's back up band for a bit... last I heard they have a 3 piece keyboard, drums, guitar w/ Maddie Ruthless from New Orleans... worth checking out

[@dionknibb585]

Nice works👍🏾❤️

[@Creamy101]

@adrher1 yeah good snares for the ska style are between 41/2" - 5" in depth with tight snares and tightly tuned head on top.

[@CheckeredPast]

@gleventhal have you checked out Dave Hilliyard and the Rocksteady 7? or The Forthrights from Brooklyn? just a few awesome NY reggae bands out there

[@ichboxdichinsgesicht]

ey r.i.p. Lloy Knibb, the inventor of the ska drum rhythm

[@FadjarMoeljarto]

Very nice🥁🙏🔥

[@theevildrummingsithlord1492]

I got completely confused when he did the "riding the hi hat bell" part. The stick work seemed pretty complicated.

[@chrisscott6417]

RlrrLrrl, then to move left hand. Easy?

[@theevildrummingsithlord1492]

​@@chrisscott6417 What do you mean by move to left hand? Well, I've tried riding the bell of the hi hat and I don't remember if I played it the same way as what you suggested, but it somehow sounded like it fits in. Also, it's weird how I never saw this comment.

[@TheRealRudeEgg]

How is this dude playing for MM? He needs to be in super group ska band! He’s awesome

[@MEINLdrumjoc52]

finally learned this!!!!!!!!

[@simon_jakobsson]

i just got my copy a few days ago. halfway through, i felt so inspired i had to go to the studio to play some drums myself! awsome dvd, check it out.

[@fries103]

simply best

[@drummerboy231434]

If he every writes a biography, he should call it "From Blastbeats to one drop"

[@SabiaCDO]

thank you so much for this!

[@RashaadGenie]

Nice!

[@liamvg]

Lloyd Knibb!

[@gleventhal]

@checkeredpastmusic I know Dave Hiliyard, I actually ran into his crew while I was touring with NYSJE and when I used to play with Rudie crew. Never heard of the Forthrights, but I would need a band that is looking for a bass player.

[@funkymunkydrummer]

@crisrr you can get this dvd as a digital download on Hudson Music website

[@drbassie]

Skatalites - Christine Keeler
