Hi all anybody like to play reggae? Who's your favorite drummer? What's a good cd to play with a good reggae beats? or just instrumental that you could drum with? Gill Sharone plays a cd like this on youtube. His groove in youtube is blazin fyah!!

I love a good reggae groove. When I was 17 this Rasta guy taught me how to play that feel; a sort of shuffle/straight 8's kind of feel. Over the years and having delved into the 1950's genres of music at one time, I discovered that the old "all shook up" groove is exactly as the Reggae groove. It's like a dotted line to me, whereas a straight-out "triplet" shuffle looks like a scalloped pattern to me and a "straight eight" groove looks like a bunch of squares.

You follow me? good. If you don't, then ask questions.

Bunch of squares, eh? You astound me.

I can totally see that, though.
