    Stephen Taylor I am a Jamaican born with reggae in my DNA and it's so interesting how you as a non-Jamaican appreciate 'real reggae' for the most I also appreciate the fact that you credited some of the right persons and encourage viewers to go and listen and learn the music. You have done a great job for the basic start. Blessed love keep doing what you are doing "One love" Jam Rock approved👍

      There are millions of non-Jamaican people that appreciate deep roots reggae. The history, the evolution and the variations are all appreciated by millions of open minded people. It’s hard to no feel a reggae groove no matter where you’re from or who you are. Music reaches everyone equally and that is the beauty. Non-Jamaican people can create and channel reggae just as a Jamaican can. We are all the same in the heart of music.

    "The notes don't mean a thing, if you don't know why they're being played. Go listen to the style and absorb it". - Stephen Taylor
    I hear so many gigging/cover band drummers play the right notes but miss the feel of the type of music being played. It's not easy to be able to combine the necessary technical facility w. style but I'm super glad that Stephen refers to drummers, songs and bands to study. I hope this really important message gets through to everyone so we all can play, listen and dance to better quality music!

    great lesson and playing, i just can't get used to counting it half time having done it the other way for 30 years ha ha. I dunno, i just find it easier that way, especially when trying to teach the groove to others. your tips for listening are also bang on. Sponji reggae is a drum and bass masterclass for sure. For drummers not quite as skilled, i'd recommend style scott with the roots radics (gregory isaacs/barrington levy/yellowman/eek a mouse/israel vibration etc) Simpler but great weight power and groove. As a longtime reggae lover it's great to see that half a million people have watched this. thanks

      For sure! I saw an interview with Stewart and he said he wasn't necessarily TRYING to sound like a reggae drummer but he thought a normal backbeat was boring so he was trying his best to make his backbeat on different beats than the standard. It just ended off coming out that way (I'm sure there was plenty of Reggae inspiration in there too but he didn't mention it lol).

  • @2latuile
    @2latuile 6 лет назад

    About the counting: technically you _can_ indeed count it both ways (fast or slow), but really for reggae the right one is the slow one - on a one drop you get the hi-hat playing sixteen notes with accents on beats 2 and 4 (the skank) and the kick "dropping" on beat 3. This is the quintessential reggae riddim where emphasis is on beat 3 and beat 1 is the "lesser" beat. Counting it fast (hi hat accents on upbeats and kick on 2 and 4) is actually a rock-steady / ska rythm, closer to r&b only with the "skank" thing being played on upbeats instead of downbeats. This can be seen as a subtle (or just downright pedantic ) nuance but it really makes a difference in the way you "feel" this groove and play it - or at least it did make a difference for me (long time guitar and bass player and now learning drums) when I first learned to play reggae some 35 years ago. FWIW the rythm you call stepper is also known (and I first learned it as) as "four drop" because you "drop" the kick on all 4 beats - IOW it's really a "four on the floor" with still the skank on beat 2 and 4 and the snare (or rim click) adding emphasis on beat 3.

    • @StephenTaylorDrums

      And Man, you bring up a great point. As I study different cultures and world rhythms, it’s always interesting to me how that “swing” differs. And sometimes it’s not a swing. It’s just a particular treatment of the notes. Humans are just really amazing creatures.

      I listened to a LOT of Sly and Robbie. Without dissing them, they're just two stars in a huge constellation of talent out there. I think more than musical talent the key to their career was the probably more-important skills of networking and productivity. They knew and played and recorded with everybody, which I salute, but not because they were "the" best.

    Thanks for this! I've recently started playing again and have been asked to do a couple reggae tunes. This has been super helpful!

      Stephen Taylor I feel like I’m learning how to play all over again. It’s like I’m taking everything I knew and ignoring it. It’s hard and challenging, but I love it.
      Thanks for having these videos available and breaking things down to an understandable level. It makes it easier to learn (for me anyway) 🤓

    Awesome tips man, and your appreciation for the history and culture of reggae really made me a fan. Keep making great music. Cheers!

    So basicly most important thing is to accent up beats on your hats. Then from there the placement of your kick drum really determines which type of groove it is? Just trying to "dumb" this down for myself. Great video

    I really enjoy the fills in Pressure Drop (Toots). I think the drummer was Winston Grennan

    I asked my drum teacher to help me get into reggae drumming a couple months ago. It just has such a distinctive groove and feel good movement.
    I’ve worked on steppers with the poly rhythm of triplets over quarters and am now grinding out the one drops.
    So fun! Maybe after a year of working on reggae I’ll take a crack at dancing?
    Great video, thank you Stephen!

    Such a timely lesson. I'm getting ready to play some reggae with my band in a couple days. Good stuff!
