I'm trying to learn reggae drumming. Can you recommend some key tracks with quality drumming...sort of a Top 10 of reggae drummers? Any help would be appreciated.
Managing editor Adam Budofsky is MD's resident reggae fanatic. He replies, "Suggesting specific reggae tracks to check out for the drumming is a bit tough. Reggae isn't like some genres of music, where the drums are a prominent instrument in the mix. Instead, reggae is all about the big picture, and the greatest reggae drumming often doesn't jump out at you. With that in mind, it makes more sense to me to track down music by reggae's most important singers and producers, and then listen carefully to the drumming on their tracks.
