If you’re looking to get into reggae drumming, look no further than Gil Sharone, the author of the award winning DVD and book on Jamaican Ska, Rocksteady & Reggae drumming entitled Wicked Beats. He has played and/or collaborated with reggae legends Eek-A-Mouse and Lee Scratch Perry, Grammy Award-winning Morgan Heritage, Fishbone, Slightly Stoopid, HR from Bad Brains, Dave Wakeling of the English Beat, and Western Standard Time Ska Orchestra.
In this video, Gil gives you 13 essential hi-hat patterns to get comfortable with. He plays them all over a simple one drop groove but you should also try these variations over a steppers and a rockers beat.
You’ll see how changing just the hi-hat pattern can completely shift how the beat feels.
Don’t forget to play these variations over one drop, steppers, and rockers beats.
This video is one of eight parts of Gil Sharone’s course “Exploring Reggae Grooves”. If you enjoyed this clip, check out the full course on Drumeo Edge!

Thank you!
Thanks a lot.
This doesn't have the feel like I'm just being real
I don't play drums, but I've heard these bears my whole life and they brought a smile to my face. Thank you.
Leopold Whylie A bear is a large wild animal.
👂🐻🐻
@@jumpinjojo 21 persons have been hearing those bear beats all their lives too.🤣🤷🏾♂️
I've been hearing bears all my life. Never seen them though!
Well ....what can I say about bears and beats..... Lol
Interesting how reggae music in America has great local and regional followings for live music.However reggae music is seen as back of the bus for the American national music scene compared to Pop,Hip Hop,and Modern Country.
Kurt Patterson I guess it’s basically alt or underground. Still waiting for it to break out to the mega mainstream I guess.
Pop, Hip Hop and Country have no spirituality, whereas Reggae does. That's why.
Marcio Silva what are u really saying?
7:04. Thank you so much for explaining the One Drop, Steppers and Rockers. This sounds silly but I have always had a problem with the one drop but this has been extremely helpful! 👍 🤘
Not silly at all. I can't discern the kick sometimes when you have a top bass player working circles around the beat.
I think it would be good if Drumeo would also get actual Jamaican drummers, who are at the forefront of the industry. Just a recommendation from a Jamaican.
So only jamaican drummers can/allowed to play reggae? This is racism! :) (just kidding)
Striped Frog no it’s like saying people from Finland can speak better Spanish than people from Spain. Jamaicans play their own music better than anyone else in this world bud sorry but deal with that fact and you will begin to understand Reggae also don’t be so envious and learn from the Jamaican masters as well
@@djfrankd1 In my opinion, a Finnish language professor can speak better Spanish, able to know the very details of the laws of the spanish grammar and have much bigger vocabulary than an average Spanish man. So it's better to learn from a pro. Same with the music.
I do not think that every jamaican drummer plays reggae better, than any drummer in the world... c'mon! They can play it more authentically, that's the correct phrase.
Striped Frog no the best Jamaican drummers would smoke other drummers from other countries in a reggae drum off bud. You are a Stupid Frog aren’t you lol
@@djfrankd1 No, I am not. Go and smoke more weed...
Carly Barrett was the man. Could listen to him all day long.
I know that
Carley is the man, Bob Marleys' long time drummer.
Still can't believe Gil used to play for Dillinger Escape Plan.
I just looked at their lineup over the years. You shouldn't be that surprised. Seems like everyone else has played drums for em too.
They gotta get him in the studio again to do an Ire Works track or two
He’s very versatile. His reggae stuff is sooo good.
@@highestsettings TDEP had 3 drummers. All awesome dudes.
@@spankthadrumz I never said otherwise. They've just had a million different members, which I hate. It's hard to call it a band when theres a different lineup every album.
Bless up Famz🇯🇲 I would Love to Bring some more variations to you Show regrading Reggae Drumming
Go do your own video unno yardman always want join Babylon sintin
That drumset makes me want to drink Crystal Pepsi.
Lmaoooo
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Brainwashed by Advertisers Inc.
[x] I agree
No, please NOOOooooooo...!! 😱
I personally wasn’t a huge fan of the snare, the rest looks nice though.
Might wanna include open hat variations, pretty standard in reggae drumming. Crazy baldhead groove by carleton barret is pretty much 'the' reggae groove of reggae grooves. Any reggae drumming exposé is incomplete without it
Iam going to make note of it 📝
YOG
Good starting point into reggae drumming...basics first. Never found a such good vid about this.
I've looked at lots of Reggae drumming lessons and this is by far the clearest and most comprehensive one I've found - well done Gil and thanks so much man - one love!
1 year later, and this is still the clearest one ahaha
Steel Pulse was in my head the entire time
#9 almost feels like "walking on the moon" by the police? anyone?
The police had so much reggae and ska influences
I hear #13 in the 'walking on the moon' outro
I just commented on how this felt like the police and I just saw it
It's the swing variation that gives that police vibe
The police played a lot of reggae style drums.. The drummer Stewart Copeland said, reggae style drumming , to him, was the most important thing after the invention of the drum kit.
This is extraordinarily useful to me, -a lifetime "by ear" listener and George Stone struggler. Aping drum licks goes only so far. As I push 70 I keep learning more and more due the the internet and great videos like this. THANK you for helping me keep my 25 year old rocker self intact. ~Tom Upton
Very very good lesson... being a reggae lover this helps me a lot as a beginner
Always enjoy some Gil drumming. I appreciate how humble his playing can be considering the amount of shred he has.
The absolute best reggae drum lesson I have ever had. I practice to this all the time. GIL IS THE MAN!
3:44 -"feel that space" reminded me of that famous "More cowbell" scene: "Explore the studio space"
mikosoft
You gotta, explore, the studio, space
So the joke came full circle.
Number thirteen rolls along like a train and never gets old
Great Video! I'm not a drummer, but I like to make reggae music. This helps me understand hi hat patterns A LOT better. Thank you for this.
All I heard was stir it up in my head! Little darlin
"Magic Grizzly" rules ! i Love to play Steel Pulse, my favourite reggae band too .... great man !
Great tutorial for the younger generation to understand and appreciate.
Thanx man , that was the best lesson on reggae drumming specially the way you explained how the hi hat’s variation works with z one drop , rockers and steppers 🤙🏾
Nice to see some Jamaican influence drumming here.
But Kudos to giving the genre this attention.
Yeah man. I'm sure Jamaica can upload itself.
Hi Mr. Sharone. The term Rockers is not a variation of a Reggae beat. The term was used long before those beats were played. Rockers was just another name we used instead of the word Reggae.

Awesome stuff. Greetings from Malaysia! 👍
🇯🇲 nice video - just finished my degree in Music Production and Sound Engineering
Jah bless, me breddah. Thank you very much for this. 💚💛🧡
great drumming. i admit i always overplay this genre. thanks for the simplicity
Need some open hihat in there for authenticity
Need some dogmatic (and out-of-place) instructions from a RUclips commenter.
This video really help me to play reggae beat.. thanks dude.. from malaysia
16th is my fav
Reggae is just so chill and cool... i like the quick transition to the next groove w/o much explanation for one groove heheh😊😊 Keep 'em variety of drumming styles coming, Drumeo!👏👏👏
Couldn’t help but dance to some of these.
Same here✌✌😋
kj 😁👍
Yep
Sounds like Stewart Copeland in the 80s.
Tom Foolery was thinking the same thing.
Loved his drumming on Ire Works

Give me that drum😍🤤
Not buying this. He didn't say "Ya mon" not even once!
It's great having the music notation on the screen as you play. I'm trying to figure out the swung beat notation. Is that a sixteenth note rest?
Nah it's triplets but you avoid playing the middle triplet.
If you're referring to the one that's swung 16s, then yeah - it's a bit of a confusing notation. It might be clearer to just write all 16s and write “Swing 16s" above the notes. (sometimes I've heard this referred to as a "Funk Shuffle Rhythm"). I believe that it was written out this way so it's easy to see how the notes are played in time, but the notation as is, is a bit unconventional.
Great lesson, though!
@@highestsettings OK, thanks, that makes sense.
This was nice. Sadly I can't do rimshots on my e-drum. The snare really seems important to this.
My hammers don’t sound like that when I hit the rim
He has a huge amount of reverb applied to it.
@MomoTheBellyDancer HAHAHAHAHAHA
There is a lot of variation in sound when playing on rim. I t depends on how the stick is hold (backwards or not) how far is it from the rim and where is it played (over a knott o not)
Thank you so much! Drumeo I needed to know the right hand technique for Hi hats and know I'm ready to use👍
My drum set!
Great reggae hi hat sounds, Thank you bro
Is he Israeli?🇮🇱
I didn't know Simon Sinek played drums
I feel the backbeat on 3 not 2 and 4 tho
Same.
That’s because you are feeling the half time groove. He is playing it twice as slow as what you are counting.
I came to comment just this. It's called a 'one' drop for a reason!! This is why people who aren't into reggae think it's slow - because they place the snare hit of a one drop into a rock context. Once you start counting one two THREE four the whole feel changes.
@@liberateyourslack ruclips.net/video/tV6mcfSXEis/видео.html
Great video bro. But it's important to know that when ever the High-Hat swings the bass does the same, that's what make dub/drum and bass so powerful. So you should never practice straight Hats patterns to swing bass and swing Hats to straight bass patterns. Listen to "is this love" for reference . Big love ❤ 🙏 ❤
These beats are so familiar, but as a non drummer, I never realized the high hat connection.🤯 It's so obvious now that I watched this without my guitarist goggles.🤓 I'm going to whip out a couple of plastic tubs and a tray of cutlery next time I find myself in a guitar circle with a shitty bongo player.😆
It's very stiff for reggae. As a reggae main I would suggest playing a little more behind the beat
Yea bro sounds rushed
thats right and even though i dont actually play music i am Jamaican so i can say that that triple was way off and i cannot say i have ever heard it inserted into that section of the bassline. Thing is I cant actually be specific about whats wrong but if he was playing live i could say do it this way or that way to make it feel real.
I do think its great though that others are taking the time to do this and keep the music alive since its being killed by these no talent dancehall "artists"
But it's a lesson so he is playing to s click most likely, you can't really add a behind the best feel until you are with a band
@@tkvids1377 this is incorrect. I teach my students how to play behind the beat using a metronome.
chido!
If you want the best example of his I think third example listen to CULTURE :get ready to ride the lion to Zion! Best song ever made
OMG...now I'm confused. Just watched another tutorial on the One Drop where the snare and bass are played on beat 3. Did I not just hear he is playing it here on the 2 and 4?
Great lesson, Gil! Thank you! I was wondering why you set up so many drums to play reggae? Glad you did not use them all! Must be for other lessons.
If the one drop emphasizes the snare and bass drum on the 3 count. The sheet music if written in 4/4 looks like those two are played on 2 and 4? Or am I missing something?
This is a helpful video but yes I agree with other comments a Real Jamaican Rhythm section like sly & robbie to demonstrate the grooves would be great!
Not bad. Not bad at all. Just need some stank sauce and you’re good. Good notation so that people can see what’s happening. Would’ve loved if you added the semi open hihat accent before the triplet in no. 13.
I think you always talk too much instead of showing by doing and then afterward you could talk about how to practice on what you just shown us.. but no taking in the beginning please, is annoying when one expect to play when coming here..
After following your examples, I think I get it. Thanks.
I know this is a drum-only lessons but why am I hearing subtle keyboards and guitar in the background? Weird.
My daughter and I had a session on my kit the other night, she plays piano and guitar but has hardly ever played drums....I was astounded by how good she was just by playing other instruments. Not exactly reggae but I put on Green Onions, I said to her "It's quite slow, has no real fills but play it and keep in the pocket". Good vid mate.
The notation on the screen is really helpful for guys like me trying to put these into a drum machine. Thanks dude!
wow. right on time! I was just about to record a reggae track
@Da Royal General Jah and the oppressors. Sunshine in a glass. Girls.
Lol,the American music industry does not reflect the local,regional grass roots interest in reggae. Also,committed American roots reggae artists are not validated the same way as Jamaican, or international reggae artists,my opinion.
This is an awesome video! Thank you very much, this is everything I need to become better at drumming reggae.
Informative video but a CRUCIAL point you've left out is that the hi hat pattern should mesh with what the bass player is doing. The fifth pattern you played in the bass examples was fighting the bass.
Wouldn't it be nicer if the bass guitar would apply swing/shuffle too when the drums do so?
Geez thanks for the count-offs. And actually playing four bars of each lol. Not
So what about using a Jamaican drummer?
I loved it
Thanks. Could feel the vibe
Guy is great with reggae.
He wrote a book on reggae also.
Love a tab for this if I cant find it I can't practise it. Awesome lesson!
Your hat is miked; why so mushy? Yes, amazing less-is-more drummer.
Very cool!Thanks.
ruclips.net/video/oaTG_kDAJ00/видео.html, this part got me. Lol.. First time commenting on RUclips.
Take Carlton Barrett over most any day, him and his brother Aston (Bass) pretty much invented Reggae with Marley, it’s all about the groove, nothing else 🖖
Yep, I love that riddim section. Was obsessed with them when I was young. Now I'm more into sly and Robbie. I think there's a lot of room for further innovations and development in Dub reggae.
No they did not .
That #4 is a Stewart Copeland standard! Hell, that's Don't Stand So Close To Me.
Gil Sharone is the mannnn! You guys inspired my music channel, check it out!
Is the 1 drop Base Drum & Stick only suppose to be on the 3rd beat. I see here its on 2 & 4.
Wena compadrito, buen video chorizo 🇨🇱👍
What about the king of all reggae patterns!? go listen running away by bob Marley !
all that you need about reggae with Gil Sarone! Thanks!
How do you 'groove' with your left hand on the snare and rim?
YOG
I didn't know JJ Abrams could play drums !
Great Video! I was informed AND entertained. Nicely done.
#6 sounds like Natural Mystic by Bob Marley lol.
been drumming for 5 years and there was so much jargon that I just didn't understand here haha
Big help. Thank you. Not many videos like this. Sick ink
Any link to download the baseline for practice? Thanks
That's a bit disappointing. Obviously he never listened to Carlton Barrett (Bob Marley) or Stevie Nesbitt (Steel Pulse). He missed the most important HHat variation. He might well technically play Reggae but it doesn't feel like it.
gnupf obviously you didn’t watch the whole thing. He’s a good reggae drummer. I’ve played with drummie zeb and I’m telling you he’s solid.
@@gleventhal I did watch the whole thing.
This is cool because I'm learning how to read drum music too.
I think this one is very useful for the new starter...
Very good..
Yeah from Brazil
I love this tutorial
