Introduction
Welcome and thank you for checking out my DVD Wicked Beats. I hope you
enjoy learning about some of my favorite styles of music: Jamaican Ska,
Rocksteady, and Reggae, and that youll find this DVD informative and
inspirational.
The following styles are not based on technique or flash, theyre based on
FEEL and SPIRIT. Ive seen many players who are proficient in other styles
of music sound very awkward when trying to achieve the proper feel for
these styles. Even though most of the following beats look simple on paper,
its the feel that brings them to life.
I recommend printing this eBook and using it as a tool while watching the
DVD. Take notes next to the various patterns and apply them when you sit
behind the kit. Also, keep an eye on the tempo range listed throughout this
eBook. Tempo is one of key factors that define the difference between these
various styles. Youll see how the same beat can translate to a different style
by slowing it down or speeding it up.
One key to developing a strong feel for these styles is being comfortable
with the upbeat pulse, also known as the skank. Almost every drum pat-
tern here emphasizes the upbeat and theres always at least one other
instrument emphasizing it as well: the guitar, piano, horns or all of them
together. By applying these grooves to your playing, your feel and comfort
level behind the kit will improve, as well as your vocabulary and versatility,
ultimately enhancing all other styles of music that you play.
Nyabingi
Nyabingi drumming is the foundation to all of the Jamaican styles covered in this DVD.
Here are some of the main heartbeat call and response patterns used in Nyabingi.
75-125
Jamaican Boogie
I recommend playing all of these grooves at the various tempo ranges both on the
ride and hi-hats. Theyre key to developing the right feel! Keep them swinging and
pay attention to your backbeat.
90-125

Burru
There are different ways to approach the Burru style on the drumset. Usually the
bass line or melody will determine what kind of feel to establish. Here are a few
variations you can use to build the full pattern...
