I find the best way to learn something like reggae is just to listen and play as much as you can. It;s one of those things where the more you play each bit the more the 'best' parts come out

That's what I find anyway

Reggae's one of those styles where I feel it's all about learning the basics and getting your timing solid and then just doing what your groove tells you too. A bit like GOOD jazz...

I agree! There are so many great Reggae artists out there, and you can spend hours just denting the surface. Learn the history, listen to as much as you can, and just play!

Look at it this way! Most of the Reggae drummers from the 70's probably didn't have any books! They just loved it, listened to it, and played it!

Have Fun!

Here's a good start.

Sgarrets link is really good, but man that guy has some sloppy writing!

Dude, doesn't he? Here's a different spin for it. It basically forces you to write it all out for yourself.
