Excellent reproduction of Carlton's drumming. I'm a huge Bob Marley and The Wailers fan. Carlton was an awesome reggae drummer that defined the band's sound. Unbelievable tragic death. Should have considered "One Drop". More please. 😊👊🏻
Thank you for this post. one of my all time favourite drummers. it is nice to see him get the respect for literally creating a whole new sound. His time was remarkable and his rhythms were revolutionary. Your covers were well done
Anorther great video.. Would have loved a SHIT TON of smoke around the drums to really get the vibe right but the Sound was spot on.... ps: Still waiting for a Rev Jimmy Sullivan drum video...
@@WildBoy4FunTime Did you misread it and think I said he was an idiot? Because I think you may have thought that you said that he was the idiot and I didn't.
the main reason for the deeeeep snare drum sound on Could you be loved is not that Carlton Barrett tuned lower. He NEVER did!!!! He played the cranked-to-the-max-sound til he died. Also listen to the feel of the groove, TOTAL different to his common wavy, kinky, spontaneous style with lots of small fills of high timbale-like sound. The drummer of this tune is Sly Dunbar, typical STRAIGHT forward, machine-like, with the four on the floor (another thing Barrett NEVER did!)....Marley and "Drumbar" were friends and worked together as often as possible, jamming at a local club in Kingston or Dunbar came to Marleys studio.
on this video you can see Barretts approach to the song, but finally Dunbar recorded it later. Notice Carlton played it with sidestick and bass drum variations........ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DIOPdQscO84.html
I would say it's Carlton "Santa" Davis on "Could you be loved". Just like on "Coming in from the cold" and e.g "Africa Unite". Mikey "Boo" Richards did some on the Survival album as well e.g "So Much Trouble" and "Ride Natty Ride" with his basie Val Douglas. "Chant Down Babylon" on the album Confrontation most certainly Santa...and many more... Just my 1 cent. Peace
Another great video. I hope some people take away from these videos is to start tuning drums creatively again. So many drum sounds these days sound exactly the same and formulaic. Too many modern drummers tune their snares the same, use too many mics, all have the exact same size drums, use all the same reverbs and same sounding cymbals. Everything just sounds sterilized and over-produced.
Great job. Keep the reggae stuff coming! I’d like to hear your take on Bud Gaugh’s (Sublime) drumming sound, he played reggae but with a punk rock approach (watch his arm as he hits the snare!) 👍
No but they played a lot of reggae covers. The point was to check out the drummer’s approach which is derivative of reggae but with some Bad Brains, Stewart Copeland etc type influence.
There really is nothing like the sound or playing of Carlton so great idea making this video. If you go back to the earlier Bob Marley days his playing is even more elaborate.
Pretty good video. But it must be stated that Carly always experimental with various sounds. You can hear this on different album recordings over the years. Even with all the technology the mixing and mastering of each record attributed for the variations of sounds of the drums
I like Pascal's height on the hi hat, helping separation on the sn mic - and even making sure the hi hat shadows it's mic from the sn. great! I know tape is crucial, but is DBX part of those bob marley drum sounds too?
Carlton didnt use snares on his snare(dont say you didnt know this) so he could start song on snare. You could show his sound and drumming on diffferent song for example The Heathen where you could show his amazing creative hihat technique.
Also if ya dig and enjoyed this reggae song 😀 you may also enjoy the reggae band Christafari and they are really groovy folks and friends and the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on RU-vid. 😀
É para mim o melhor baterista de todas as histórias na categoria do Reggae. O grande Calton Barrett não repetir as batidas, ele e o irmão Astor Barrett que também! Eu lhe considero o melhor baixista de todos os tempos! Que também fazia parte da banda do grande Bob Marley, ambos tinha uma sintonia de outro mundo lá atrás na cozinha da banda The Wailers. Sem palavras! Deixando claro não querendo desmerecer os outros componentes que faziam parte da grande banda THE WAILERS!🇧🇷
An excellent sound to replicate for a more Rock Reggae sound, I recommend trying to replicate Bud Gaugh's Sublime drumming. I could see you guys really doing something interesting with that.
Winston Grennan is widely regarded as the creator of the one drop beat. Not to take away from Carlton Barrett's incredible feel and drumming, but he did not create the one drop.
I just did a wee reggae gig last week. We did all Bob Marley & the Wailers. Very good video. I have to study all those hat reggae patterns. God bless Carlton Barrett I hope your happy in heaven and thanks alot for all your brilliant drum work.
Cerrone.....Brothers Johnsons....Chaka Khan....Kc and Sunshine band....Level 42....Bionic Boogie.....Chic...and the other hundreds of DISCO-FUNK masterpieces that have the best drum sound on this planet!!!
Great video! I was part of the south Florida reggae scene some 20 years ago, playing drums around town. I was fortunate to become friends with Anthony 'Benbow' Creary, who played with many greats from the heyday in Jamaica, like Lee Perry and Augustus Pablo and many more. He taught this while kid quite a bit and we played together in a band and would often alternate between the kit and percussion. He would borrow my Tama kit for other gigs and it would come back to me all tuned and muffled quite like this kit. He was incredible to watch and hear play. He was VERY powerful, like a rock drummer. I'd ask him to tell me about recording at the Black Ark studio and all kinds of fun stuff. I feel very fortunate to have spent time with him and his kindness to take the time to share his deep knowledge of a beautiful era of reggae. Big respect!
Great video! As a drummer in the late 80s/early 90s I was obsessed with Carlton Barrett's innovative sound and technique. I was introduced to the timbale sound through reggae and still absolutely love the sound.
I like the snares tuned for their respective feels Since the lines are so basic and steady, thus dragging and rushing or adding extra beats isn't an option, your emphasis has to be spot on with certain pieces of your kit
One important note is Carlton and Aston Barrett were recruited by Bob Marley from THE UPSETTERS who were the studio band for Black Ark Records. What set Carly Barrett different from other Jamaican drummers was his love and use of Latino tempo sounds
Other well known Reggae drummers include - Leroy 'Horsemouth' Wallace - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G6L9eZFMDOk.html and Sly Dunbar - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EeyDie5z8XQ.html 🙂
Come on, Drumeo!!! Who's your editor? It's pronounced "tim-BAH-lay"or "tim-BAH-lee" not "tim-bul"....And he says it repeatedly. That's like pronouncing cymbal, "kime-ball". Please know your terminology if you're making professional drum videos. Whoever your editor is should be fired...LOL. Otherwise, cool video.
The First Drum pattern was the best one, and is a classic Roots Reggae Rhytmn, they use rimshots a lot in Reggae music, to give it it's recognisable & distinctive Sound, they have a particular way of drumming , known as a One Drop, Carlton Barrett, played it in such a way that, You always know it's Bob Marley & The Wailers, a soon as you hear it, this short film is very intesresting, Carlton's Brother, Aston (Family Man) Barrett, was also a very talented Bassist, the Barrett Brothers both helped create The Wailers Rhytmn & Groove Sound. Dan
Instead of spending all that money on a ridiculous Ludwig kit and all those mics, I'd rather just use a roland brain for $400 w a $50 PD7 Pad. Program the pitch and muffle... and wah la: INSTANT MARLEY for less than the cost of a snare/stand & mic.
Not sure I get all of the praise. Sure you did a great job to replicate Barrett’s studio recorded music but I’d love to see how you do with trying to sound like Barrett did during his profound live sound and unique method tapping of the drum sticks while playing the hi-hat (sorry don’t know the correct drumming terminology) and all the while grooving to the rhythm. That dude felt it. Play “Running Away/Crazy Baldheads” from Bob Marley and The Wailer’s performance at the Rainbow in 1977. ✌🏽
Screw the beat tech stuff, overteching the groove/mood!. Just feel the spirit of the groove. Close your eyes, relax & start swaying your body, Regge yourself ,, feel the message,and ...hit the drums!
3:19 How to get this snare sound, if the head highly tuning tight so, what about to the bottom of snare? How tight the bottom?🙏🏻😃 7:36 WoW!! I also like this sound, can i get this sound without any muffling on the top? 🙏🏻😃 Oouhh btw my snare are also 14inc with wood shell and i'm love reggae😘. I'm new on drumming and i need helps, any suggestions and ideas🙋🏻😃😃
Good job but Carlton Barret was adding a piece of fabric between the two cymbals of his hi-hat. The sound was different from this video. Less shiny. As in the Rainbow Theater concert, London 1977.
Great video.I really like the Mr. Muff Muffin on the snare for "Could You Be Loved" When I tried to buy one it turns out that they don't ship to the USA. Any thoughts on a comparable product available to ship to the USA?
Excellent hi-hat grooves. Foam Wrap Roll, packing roll, you can use this for all kinds of muffling. Also cymbal felts and tape.. They also have some good videos on installing aluminum foil inside the toms or bass for a punchy sound.
I never the singular of timbales was pronounced like that! Great vid nice tones. Staggeringly good drummer well explored in under 10 mins. Murdered? Wow that sucks
