      Nor Vinnie nor Stewart play Reggae riddims, but most play Reggae inspired grooves. Vinnie does it often, not only with Sting but in many other tracks from Steely Dan to Djiavan to Jeff Beck... in fact, he has some of the best Reggae feels outside of Jamaica, although he plays more complex parts than you would do on authentic Reggae.

    I've got a playlist on RUclips called "Collie Reggae". It has a lot of modern reggae mixed with old school, dub, roots, all types and some funk mixed in for fun. Maybe some things in there you've not heard yet. Shrug.
    The most crucial element you missed and I'm sort of joking but sort of serious is you weren't letting a fat spliff burn in your mouth as you played 🤪. Ganja is as much a part of reggae as anything...all players, especially roots guys, smoking a spliff while playing isn't just some stoner musicians getting lit, it's religious music and ganja is the sacrament, not a cultural identity or a life style. A sacrament. I would say it's vital to playing good reggae drums.
    Great playing as always...love the concert Tom kit...I'm glad to see those kits are having a bit of a come back...I think they sound incredible!! Mad skills man...much love and thanks for making this video. Learned A LOT!!!

    When ever I play raggae: I always loosen the snare some and take off any ring damping on the snare head. And of course practice your rim shots. So important to the sound. Also the ruff is a great rudiment in this style, ending with a rim shot. Great flavor. In the Caribbean ( I lived and played there for about 10 yrs), another part of this style of music is improvised instruments like a car tire rim hit with a metal object. And other such improvised things. Great stuff, wonderful musicians and music.

    Don't forget Sly Dunbar in your reggae homework. Also work with putting ghost notes in there on the snare. You will know where to put them and what songs to put them in once the groove locks you in. Some songs just dictate a few extra snare hits, I can't explain it.

    Hi. A few questions were directed at me let me see what I can do. Some one asked about the name ''One Drop'. I started playing the drums when Reggae just started and almost all my peers were older than myself by at least 5 years. I listened to all of them but it is impossible for me to recall who said what. What was made clear to me is that the name One Drop was 'set in motion' by a musician but not by a drummer. Next, One Drop did not have it's beginnings in Rockers/Reggae (same thing exactly), if you seek you will find. Someone asked me for an interview; I have no idea how that would happen. I am using Chris Hoffman's post to reply and I do not take it lightly, therefore I honour your channel Chris, use whatever information I have given wisely. It took over 20 years of playing with the best Reggae musicians in the world, but also teaching and being questioned by very intelligent students to be able to give decent answers. So many of us say we love Reggae but never take time to understand its make up. I was taught never to learn to read music. That 'Riddim' contines and is not a feather in our hat. Jamaica had Big Bands when I was a boy, I was blessed to play with one before it died out, (I couldn't read a note). Many of (our) students tour the world right now, you may have seen some of them.
