Have you posted lesson about hi hat licks in reggae drumming? Sometimes I feel that drumming in reggae is a "story about hi-hat" and I hear quite advanced patterns on classic records yet cannot replicate that.

Very well done! I love that the fills are so simple and yet authentic and especially that you were specific as to where these fills could be heard on notable recordings and who played them. I have been a reggae fan since I first heard Clapton's "I Shot The Sheriff" -- which I saw him play live in 1975 and then also saw Bob Marley play it live in 1978. ...And I also saw Carlton Barrett as Marley's drummer in 1978... I just signed up for your podcast yesterday. Keep up the great work!

Hey Stephen I like your looks at Reggae drumming. I am a Jamaican. I believe you could use a different snare that's just a personal preference. I wonder if you ever thought of exploring other Jamaican rhythms like ska, rocksteady, mento, dancehall and put a score to it. I started learning about sheet music a few years ago. It's great to see this rhythm being placed on a score.

Sinsemilla is my favorites song by Black Urhu and it is also my favorite kind of trees. I don't smoke if it have seeds because, "I got a stalk of sinsemilla growing in backyard." We pronounce it SEN-SEE-ME-LIA but it's Spanish for without seeds so we could be getting wrong too.

I tend to think of those 32nds as 'open flams'. I think there's a lot of fills mileage just in opening and closing the flams in reggae fills.. For example, you can open those flams up so wide in a 12/8 steppers that you end up playing single threes pretty much as 16ths (or 32nds etc.) against the feel, or close them up so tight they almost sound like a drag if you play them behind another note... i love flams in reggae!

Cool lesson. Im recording my drums tomorrow for an EP, and one of the songs has a bridge that consists of us playing a reggea beat, so this lesson can come in handy. Could you do some stuff on Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix Experience)? Not on note for note fills per se, but more his whole style during live versions of songs. He had a very cool and "chaotic" way of playing. Like Hendrix had on guitar.

i don't mean to be too critical but you really need to have some kind of other instrument accompaniment to solidify the context. I believe you are correct about Style Scott being the drummer on the Isaacs tune. Roots Radics was a top studio band in Jamaica at that time. My only suggestion is to turn the stick with the fat end away from the snare when doing cross stick. This is what all the drummers I have worked with, including Sly and Grennan, do.

Pretty sure it was Sly that did I need a Roof. Listen to the styling. I'm a big Channel One fan and he was the resident drummer but they use other as well. At 10:06 is also a signature style of Sly on the hht. He still uses that hht pattern to this day.
