- 3 Way to Get that Bob Marley Reggae Snare Drum Sound
In this video, you will learn "How to get your snare drum ready for playing reggae music". Some of the reggae snare drum features include the type of snare drum that is played, how your snare drum is tuned and how the reggae snare drum is muffled. Reggae drummers including some of legendary musicians who played reggae around Bob Marley's golden 70's era include Carlton Barrett, Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace, and Sly Dunbar. This video includes some of the techniques that these reggae drummers use for getting that Bob Marley reggae snare drum type sound. This is typically some of the strategies that I also personally use, you might use different strategies but this is what works for me.

Man, I love this video. Would love to see more demos/lessons. Very few reggae drummers sharing content on RUclips and you are excellent. This video is exactly what I was looking for
Glad you enjoyed it. What Reggae Drumming topics (demos/lessons) would you like to see?
@@Reggaddiction man, I would love to hear your take on common reggae fills and song starts. And I would be interested in hearing what makes sly different style than horsemouth, for example. Love your content
I've been trying to figure out that snare sound, thanks for this demonstration.
No worries, hope the vid helped.
This was very helpful man. Thanks. Sick groove too.
Thanks glad you found it helpful.
Nice drumming !!! Cool groove
Thanks, much appreciated for the love and respect.
Thanks for this video
Your welcome, hope it was helpful
Great video man!!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
Great work!
Thanks
Breaking it down to a science. Fantastic.
Glad you enjoyed the vid
Love that snare sound :)
Thanks much appreciated for the love and the share ~ Oz
@@Reggaddiction I have two snare drums that are made of wood and I tune them very tight and they sound good. I do plan on getting either a stainless steel snare, brass snare or aluminum in the future but the reason for me using these two wooden snares for reggae music it is because right now I don't have money to buy either of the metal snares that I mentioned just now. I just have to work with what I have for now. Also I have seen a video of Carlton Barrett using a wooden snare drum made by Yamaha in a concert with Bob Marley in 1979 in Santa Barbara. That snare drum was made of Birch wood and it was blue in color just like the rest of the other drums in the set and it sounded good. I think any snare drum can be tuned high pitched whether wood or metal.
This is great,very informative and easy to understand....Thank you for taking the time.
Glad you enjoyed the vid
I don't play reggeau but got an aluminium snare and knew this was going to be inspirational for my drum sound. Thank you. I subscribed
Perfect, you got what you need.
Jah rasta love tank yo far sharing ❤ brother 🥁😊
Thanks for watching.
Greetings respect bro
Thanks for watching and the comment
nice solution to lack of rimstick (when U use wooden snare) is to use Russ Miller groove wedge, or something like that. I`ve ask local skateboard company for this thing, It`s just maple plywood like decks and they can easliy do it 🙂Great channe! Bless !
Interesting, so if you have a wooden snare already, how would you incorporate the Russ Miller groove wedge with it?
Greetings and respect from Libya
Bless, thanks for watching
I use the Ludwig Supraphonic on all my Reggae videos. For that early 70's sound, nothing beats it.
Nice one. Had to google it. Looks sweet.
@@Reggaddiction Sounds even better than it looks. It's what most of them used in the early 70's. Ludwig was by far the most popular drum set 60's to mid 70's.Even with my crappy camera mic for my videos it sounds superb, it's from '68. I've never had another snare that comes close for that roots Reggae sound. You should have mentioned, having 10 lugs instead of 8 helps, you can get the batter head on tighter.
@@OneDrop504 Nice tips does your Supraphonic have 10 lugs? I checked out your videos. Sweet deep groove. Loved them.
Hey onedrop504.. you stopped making videos??
@@seangeraghty86 I haven't done any recently, but I have some more coming soon.
Quality video right here, my friend! Do you ever work as a teacher? If not, you could. You have the right temperament for it and the easy to understand way of explaining things. Also, quality drumming at the end of the vid. I'll admit, drums are not my forte but I'm trying to get into them a bit better. Stuff like this is proving to be very helpful :)
Glad you enjoyed the video Brendan. Teaching is for sure an artform in itself and one of our most important professions. I'm happy I was able to teach you something.
Read an interview with Carlton "Carly" Barrett. He stated he kept his snares turned off and his top head so tight that his rim was level with the head..
Yes, Carlton had a real tight snare. Many of the legends did their snare differently. Thanks for the insight.
I just wanted to let you know. That I did watch The Rockers. I loved it
Yes, incredible film. Have you watched, "The Harder They Come" with Jimmy Cliff? If you haven't watch that one as soon as you can.
Great video and informative
Would you say this set up would be the same for ska music? I
Yes its a good starting point for Ska. Also play around with tuning it even tighter than I did and using less muffling on the snare. See how it sounds. Also try a piccolo snare.
@@Reggaddiction thanks man will give it all a go
@@Fearyourown Let me know how it ends up sounding
@@Reggaddiction I will do thank you 🙏
To my surprise, contrary to what he is saying, the snare bottom heads are actually tuned to the same pitch! The pitch is a G 5. Also the drumming style at the end is very different from any Bob Marly style drumming. Cool video nonetheless. Only love.
Thanks for the insights.
Jus say that type of sound on your drums is more of a sly Dunbar style not carlton , carlton snare well more ave a sharp cut and hi pitch, and a board snare can give that sound u jus ave to set it up, change hoops and strand , example a diecast hoops top and bottom , get a 40 strand snare wire and remo coated or clear head will do the trick
Yes, you're very right. It is more of a Sly Dunbar reggae type sound. Thanks for the tips. I check out your page, your band sounds sweet. This solo from you sound wicked!!!!! ruclips.net/video/7AmZCfDJdTw/видео.html
@@Reggaddiction respect monn bless up
The drummer of UB40 James Brown uses the snare drum called Flint. Think the drum is from the UK.
Oooooo interesting. Gonna have to look up this flint brand.
@@Reggaddiction
Here it is.

Thanks❤
No problem, hope you enjoyed the vid.
aye bro do you know what song the movie was from at 4:31 if you could lmk pls🙏🏾
That movie is called "Rockers" and the song is Rockers by Bunny Wailer.
@@Reggaddiction god bless you🙏🏾
What’s the name of song and the artist called that your playing at the end?
That's our "Straight to the Ghetto" riddim. Here is a track we just released on a Spotify on this riddim called "Ghetto" open.spotify.com/track/4q1KFJUQNmtlDCyERuXx6R?si=46ba352e624a40ce
@@Reggaddiction Thank you very much.
That’s not sounding like Bob Marley snare sound so maybe check on that again, however the main snare sounds good, more like Sly Dunbar snare sound and also go up with the tuning of the timbale man
Thanks for the tips Oral. Love your page, I checked it out. Your an awesome drummer.
There's no problem if you use a wood snare sir
How you tune and the type of wood and drum heads make the difference
Agree, nothing more important than how you tune it.
You mean Carlton Barrett snare drum sound?
More reggae sounding snare. Carlton Barrett's snare was tuned more high pitch.
Do some steel pulse man! I think that was the 70-80s thing, muffling like that? Look Neil Peart and Phil Collins.
Yes Steel Pulse, nice suggestion. Yes more 70's. Some of the earlier drum set up without resonance head didn't need that much muffling. Just tight tuning.
@@Reggaddiction thanks, i like to practice Earth Crisis album!
Play it without the mixing done on the snare
Nice suggestion
