Are you ready for “WICKED BEATS – REGGAE, ROCKSTADY & SKA”?
Legendary and super-creative drummer- Gil Sharone, who has worked with such names as Dillinger Escape Plan, Marylin Manson, Morgan Heritage, Team Sleep and Stolen Babies, wants to take you on historical journey and give you detailed lessons covering Reggae and Pre-Reggae styles, including Ska, Rocksteady and Burru. Reggae drumming is broken down in detail with numerous patterns, looking at the one drop groove, hi-hat variations, steppers and rockersvariations, important reggae drummers, and more.
