Let's dive into the iconic reggae rhythms of Bob Marley & The Wailers, focusing on the drum hi-hat pattern in "Forever Loving Jah" (1992). This song showcases one of Jamaica's most advanced hi-hat techniques, demonstrating the evolution of reggae drumming.
The Hi-Hat Pattern
The hi-hat pattern in "Forever Loving Jah" combines elements of the traditional one drop rhythm with intricate syncopations1

. Here's a breakdown of the pattern:
1. Basic One Drop: The foundation is the classic one drop, with emphasis on beat 31.
2. Syncopated Accents: Additional accents are placed on the upbeats, creating a lively, bouncing feel.
3. Quarter Note Triplets: Occasional use of quarter note triplets adds a rolling, fluid quality to the rhythm1.
Performance Technique
To perform this hi-hat pattern effectively:
Stick Control: Use a relaxed grip to achieve both power and finesse.
Foot Technique: Master the foot pedal to create subtle open and closed sounds.
Dynamics: Vary the intensity of your hits to emphasize certain beats and create texture.
Workshop Breakdown
After the performance, we'll break down the pattern into its components:
1. Basic Pattern: Start with the fundamental one drop rhythm.
2. Adding Syncopation: Gradually introduce upbeat accents.
3. Triplet Integration: Practice incorporating quarter note triplets smoothly.
4. Variations: Explore different ways to embellish the pattern while maintaining its core feel2.
Remember, the key to mastering this advanced hi-hat pattern is consistent practice and listening closely to the original recording.
