Thank you for such an amazing lesson with this knowledgeable teacher! The swung and straight feel is reminiscent of that used in jazz drumming.

Can someone give me the exact sticking for the fill at 10:13

Those fart sounding toms are Reggae all day.

Swing or straight on the hi hat and all instruments follow that groove. To me Jamaican Reggae holds more treasures than this. Sometimes these grooves were mixed, like you can hear in some old dubs. Like there is a swingpitch button on drumcomputers, the groove could be anywhere in between swing or straight, even variying between different instruments in the same song. This was already heard in very old studio 1 recordings. My guess was always, it was'nt done on purpose, but its all feel. For exception "Love Fire" by Aswad ( drum=straight/bass=shuffle), is an extreme difference, but i also heard it in way more subtile ways. Sometimes could not even hear if it was closer to shuffle or closer to straight. Still when I take my Bass i use it to play with the groove a bit, there is so much in between shuffle and straight. Respect to Desi, saw this man play powefull things in the old days and i love Chalice! Jah Bless

He is serious man when it comes to drums

I love this man

What a great thing the internet can give us the best musicians to learn from

I have never met another down to earth and kind drummer like Desi. I remember he and I had a long chat after we jammed in Music Mart around 17 years ago. The man is just so kool to hang with.

Yes I Great masterclass! I also have the book, the art of reggae drumming. One love

This is uplifting. Love the feel and the reverb! Simply beautiful

J'adore ❤❤❤

Yes Desi! Master drummer! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Each one, teach one.. please let there be a next lesson!

I go to the academy

This is awesome. I wish there was a 1 2 3 4 beat counter because I do not understand how the beats should land. I feel the swing and I understand why that works but how its counted makes little sense to me

Learning never stops, I'm still in school. Bless Uncle! Give thanks for these lessons

Student a one teacher soon come. Respect to Drums inna Jamaica.

Man I thought this was Richard Pryor on the druns!

As soon as the shuffle pattern dropped it stopped being a beat and became a song on its own. Fantastic.

It’s good to hear one of our maters explained reggae drums patterns respect ,

Lovely video thank you 🙏 maximum respect
