I learned more in this video than the 100 tutorials before it about reggae and the one drop. I can't thank you enough!
This man deserves all the success ❤️
he has a place in the garden Heaven in Jan Glory, this man is not Human himself HE IS JUST REGGAE IN FORM OF HUMAN
I AM BLESSED I FIND THIS CHANNEL
Hi bro, I do have a place in heaven, secured by the blood of Jesus the Lamb. God has given me gifts and talents and I am blessed to share them with the world through my reggae music, but know it comes from Christ Jesus 🙏
@@DMKahnyour god is a lamb??
The lamb who was slain
@@DMKahnwhich reverb use on the drum ?
Omg if only I could have seen your demonstration of how swing works at 6mins when I started music!! Fantastic demonstration of the difference of a swung and rigid beat!! Genius
Thanks man 🙏
dude , for a punk rock player as i am , but a reggae lover. Learning the details of the groove was a game changing for me. You deserve a big kiss....
Kahn has the best tutorial on youtube
Period!!!
have to disagree its not really a tutorial.... its just showing what he did, not how to achieve it for yourself (unless you already have the knowledge of building the drum track....) a good turorial would start with an empty track and show you the process so def not the best on you tube by a long shot
I think he was referring to my channel, not this specific video. Go check out my video “make a reggae song in one hour”... I start from scratch and show you how to program the drums. Thanks for your comment and stopping by the channel Richard!
@@DMKahn please which drums vst did u used,especially for the snare roll
@@ckkeyz3151 Hey bro, i'm using the DM Kahn sample pack. send me an email inquiry to thekahn@gmail.com and i'll send you the info
@@DMKahn have done that bro,waiting for you to send
You're the BEST reggae sound mix mastering data channel!!!
🔥🙏
@@DMKahn And I think I've seen em' all ;)
@@oxiderusty1562 yea no doubt he is! I bet Khan and Westfinga is the two best sounding reggae channels on youtube, period.
Mr Kahn I’ve only just found your vids bro , such a help I can’t thank you enough !!! I’ve tried to send u an email in the hope that I could get some drum samples but my email doesn’t recognise ur email address so won’t let me send to you , if at all possible could u send me a Hi to jonnyfunks@ outlook.com please so I can email u back bro ? Thanks man 🙏
Sent you an email. Bless
You have a great knowledge of the music, I send you greetings from Jamaica
Many thanks Michael, thank you for taking the time to comment, much respect 🫡
Brilliant ! Most of the other tutorials dont talk about that swing at all, and especially the details of that swung note - brilliant!!
Bravo, bravo. This example when the bass is quantized is cool to me. I like that.
6:25 LOL! This reminds me of my own reggae producing. Thanks for the great and awesome tutorials! i've learned a lot!
lol same here....the swing factor on hardware sequence is a challenge...but keep trying mat. keep on keeping on.
I have been getting getting into Psy Dub A LOT of late.
I love the Combo of psycadellic aprs & the Regge swing & groove.
with it using a LOT of the core of Regge finding your channel has opened my eyes to the bases of how this is all put together.
I'm looking for some more info on using a tape delay & the spring verb.
so I will be scouring your channel!
Thanks man. Was dreaming exactly of that reggae / dub instrments tutorial. Gonna spend day playing my forever loving music : REGGAE. Thank you so much.
Really really good. Really enjoyed this. Thanks
You are a god. Please keep these coming. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Not a god, but loves God!
The best on the Web... Thanks for the drums you re-send me ... in 2022.
Your videos never fail to provide knowledge and inspiration. Big up!
DM Kahn best reggea channel. thanks for sharing
Awesome tutorial and like the fact you can hear the different between with and without the swing. Both sound cool but love it with the swing, which is a real flowing vibe
You are best ever you make real sound raggae music.
Real drums good base keep it up
Je viens de découvrir ta chaine bro. Je me suis abonné de suite sans réfléchir. Bravo pour ton taf. je te suis désormais.
The sample kit is phenomenal, I look forward to learning more from you! Mahalo & Aloha Khan!
Many thanks John for your support, I’m glad you’re enjoying the sample pack!
You explained it pretty well ,appreciate your effort ❤
Well its still as good as it was a couple of years ago, but now I'm listening in a different way. I have a cajon with two mics and plugged into an AC33 Roland acoustic amp. The way you describe what you're doing is great. I'm learning and playing reggae music and its great.Thanks again
Man it sounds great! Thank you for the video
I use fl studio. Started just making simple back band music for me playing the Hammond and end up composing (or trying) whole tracks. Love your channel!
Production sounds good 🤜🏾💯
Solid beat
NICE ONE. SUPER
Every video I’ve watch so far everything I’ve learnt from this dub master. Humble and open true credit to the reggae industry blessssed
loving you channel.
Respect
Love the Drum sample bro 😁
Glad I find you! Hard to find quality reggae production channel like yours.
Respect
Major Respect bro! Love your tutorials. I was curious how you got that tone in your drums (specifically the snare drum in the roll). I've been tryna adjust the settings on my drum kits in Logic Pro X to the best of my ability, but yours have that authentic, Carlton Barrett sound.
Thanks Daylen. I went as far as buying the exact type of snare drum Carlton used, and through much trial and error, finally got “the sound”. I’m not sure I’m going to reveal the secret 🤫 lol. I sell a sample pack with the one shots you heard in this video though. Email me at thekahn@gmail.com for info. Cheers
@@DMKahn merci pour cette leçon,
Amazingly beautiful tutorial.
enjoy and learn! many thanks, great tutos
Khan you’re the best, major talent and hard work
Great tutorial man! I especially appreciate the time you spent discussing how to and the importance of swing. And though I already knew the importance of swing, it I could never seem to get it right. And end up settling with some crappy robotic swing, or something like that. Thanks a bunch..
More times you have to go back to class 🎓👍🏾✅✌🏾
This is really good, pure feeling
I just discovered your channel and boss, this is sweet. I was looking for reggae horns. You just got a new follower. Great stuff, man. I’m gonna check out your drum loops.
love this. Love you. Cheers
Recently I recorded my own kick. I was thinking about what to use at home. I tried a laundry basket and recorded 12 sounds with it via microphone. It worked out pretty well!
Great reggae producer. Up up up!
🙏🙏🙏
Wowwww! Amazing video, bro. And what a difference it makes without the robotic quantize. You really know your reggae. Love your work. Keep ut up.
Thank you brother 🙏
Sure bro. Coming to you straight from Saint Lucia (Caribbean). 🇱🇨
It's a lot of work though. You clearly work hard and that's great.
Man, that is great amount of wisdom you shared! Thanks!
You’re very welcome, thanks for your support D👑K
Another great video. Thanks man
Respect 🤜🤛
This channel's content is what I need, thanks!
Cheers!!
great video DM the swing does make a world a difference
thank you for this. Very helpful. Very happy I found this channel. Bless!
My pleasure, thanks for the support!!
Great tutorial! Loved it at the end, when you started to Dub it up! Carry on these great tutorials. Peace
really amazing, thanks for you tutorials....
Thank you and respect brother 🙌
Finally a new video! i learn soo much from you. Many THANKS!! by the way could you do a mixing tutorial with only waves plugins ? keep it up :)
Hey bro! I think I used exclusively waves plugins back a couple years ago on my "Kahn's Reggae Production Corner" video series. Lately I've been using lots of different manufacturers. I love Slate Digital and have been dipping my toes into the Brainworx stuff. I would say don't worry about manufacturer, more so on the mix principals and theory!
Another great Kahn video!!!!
Thanks Unc’!
Love it..real this is reagge soud💚💛❤️
Thanks!!
great info Khan, always looking forward to your tutorials, always helpful. bless !!
Form ethiopian producer great bro
Respect, greetings from Canada
If I can ask: I'm still learning to use a DAW. Reggae interests me so I watch your videos with great interest. I'm playing around with "swing" in the DAW and have an understanding of what it does.
But it's not clear from your video whether it's only necessary to add the "swing" value to things like the hi hats. I don't see the reason to add it to the kick drum on a basic one drop... why or how would it "swing" the kick and snare?
Do we just add the swing to the bits that matter, and leave the rest of the percussion alone? If or if not, would you be kind enough to explain?
great video, keep it up bro
Thank you brother 🙏
Another great video! Super informative. Thank you for your time and energy in creating these. I learn from every one. I was cracking up when you started doing the robot to the quantized groove.
Thank you for your support! Lol I crack myself up sometimes. My wife makes fun of me
fantastic tutorial
Excellent Tut Khan!
Thanks brother 🙏
hey this is fire. definetely taking notes
Thanks for stopping by!
@@DMKahn I'm here to stay 🤙
amazing
Big up
Thanks so much you are amazing
Hi! Very informative video, subbed! For rolls it is better to use snares , toms or timbales?
All of the above bro! Most important is the feeling
Ya, man! This is extremely helpful for me. Learned a lot. Thx 4 the vid!
Insta sub n like, yo. XD
Many thanks!!! Appreciate you stopping by and taking the time to comment and subscribe!
@@DMKahn Yo, I just watched your one hour Reggae tutorial - in "awe". I'll try it, too. Already considering to buy your reggae sample pack.
@@allanniklas5440 thank you bro, appreciate your support 🙏
🙌🏽🙌🏽 Big Up pon yourself Mighty king Khan. Nice nice 👌. But the samples🤗 would really love to get a hold of them Sir. Stay blessed.
Send me an email brother. Thekahn@gmail.com
@@DMKahn Cool 💪🏾
Thanks DM Kahn
Superb🙌🏿👏🏼🔥
Great tutorial
Jah Blessed my brother!
Bless you my friend!
Yow big up khan I subscribe to your channel once I heard your disclaimer and yes I'm a drummer
I kinda like it both ways swingy and on time heavy
joseph pablo big up buddy. I think for rockers stuff it sounds good straight; but for that marley style it ain’t no thang without that swang 😂
why don’t you do both🤷🏾♂️
great tutorial & sound,,,btw what u do in toms is sixplet, so because u in 4/4 timeline so u make extra adjustmen there, ❤💛💚
Bro, this is another great tutorial. I also get used to straight, cos sometimes i just play the melodies and don't pay enough attention to the swinging part. Great explanation! Thanks bro. And I also to get back at your last comment; i think you contribute to the genre also as a king. Big up and blessings.
🙌
wicked stuff man
Give thanks Marc!!
Man great video! Regarding swing, I am a bit confused. Should swing be applied to all the different instruments / tracks or to certain tracks so the interplay between them produce the right feel?
The quick answer to this is “yes” but with an asterisk. Basically the hi hat is what dictates the overall amount of swing. Typically the bubble organ (if there is one) should match this quite closely, and if there is a “chicka” guitar the “a” part should also match the hi hat. But here’s where the asterisk comes in. The groove/swing doesn’t necessarily have to match perfectly. It should sound human, so not exactly aligned to that swing # in the DAW, but near it, as to sound more realistic. I’ve also heard some songs that have different elements, some swung a lot more than others. I’ve even heard songs that are rather straight but with the horn lines super swung. The thing about this is, most of those musicians back in the day in JA were just playing off feel. Feeling is what’s needed here, and it’s hard to completely describe. I think by you just asking this question, you are further into the understanding than someone who doesn’t care enough to raise it. Experiementation is what’s needed, as well as studying some of those old songs from JA. Cheers man and thanks for stopping by!
@@DMKahn Thanks a lot for your time spent to reply to my question and for the quality of your answer! Yes I am trying to find the right feel in a couple of bars within a few tracks , keeping it simple in order to understand how it works. I am not a player therefore I have to spend a lot of time on the pianoroll of my DAW. Cheers!
great tutorial...much respect! ( so hard to duplicate it on hardware sequencer ( elektron Rytm) tho...just cant get that swing on hi hats)
Sending you an e-mail right now all right? I've been looking so long for some tutorials like this!

What a great tutorial. Do you have any tutorial on the dub part? I find your stuff very educating. Thanks.
Hopefully soon brother. What details are you looking for specifically? I’ll try to cover them
@@DMKahn Hi!
I started singing a couple of years ago after learning to play the ukulele.
I have always listened to reggae and when I started singing I have wanted to sing reggae.
So I started to learn by myself how to create reggae and I don't really know how to make it sound authentic.
I found your videos and they are very helpful. I do everything on iPad which I guess is very limited, but a traditional DAW was a bit overwhelming for me when I started.
The last song I did I wanted add some dub element but I had no idea how to make it, so I just played around with my iPad and came up with this which I know is not "authentic" dub ruclips.net/video/BzyK_Zoutz4/видео.html
That's why I think it would be very nice to have a basic understanding about the components of dub.
Like for instance reverb, filter, echo and vocals and so on. I don't know how to use the effect to make it dub.
Thanks a lot.
Awesome video my friend. Quick question: Wouldn't quantizing the drums with the swing grid achieve the same effect?
Yes and no. 100% quantization isn't good in general. If you were to quantize them to a swung pattern say 40-70% then it could achieve a similar effect, I just like to have full control over it. I think at the end of the day if the feeling is right then it's right.
@@DMKahn Fair enough. Thanks for replying btw. Just discovered your channel and I'm loving it. Wish you all the best mate
Thanks man, I appreciate your question man, I wish more people would ask those kinds of questions! All the best
