The One Drop

Ok guys so last lesson we took the groove from the lazy song and moved thr bass drums to line up with the snare drums creating the "one drop" groove. This groove is almost exclusively associated with reggae music which is why we played it to bob marley's "Three Little Birds" although it will work well with other classic reggae tunes such as "Stir it up", "we're Jammin" and "no woman no cry"
Again i've written the groove in 1/4 notes at the top to help with the co-ordination and 8th notes underneath. This is a tricky one to start right so make sure you really count it hard!!
