Reggae Drums - Bob Marley’s Drummer Carlton Barrett | Recreating Iconic Drum Sounds

Reggae music is well known for a very distinct drum sound. Short and low toms paired with an open high pitched timbale-like snare sound. If you want to play reggae music, you also need to know how to achieve these sound colors. One of the pioneers of reggae drumming is Carlton Barrett who played with Bob Marley back in the day. Besides creating the typical reggae drum sound, the Jamaican drummer also shaped what we know as reggae drumming today. Have fun diving into the world of reggae music and exploring the classic reggae drum sound. 00:00 Intro 01:44 The Original 02:33 Recreation Process 05:51 Three Little Birds - Performance 07:47 Could You Be Loved - Performance Don’t miss any new videos.
