one drop


a jamaican reggae drum beat.

prior to the “one drop” beat, the b-ss drum would typically fall on the 1st and 3rd beat and the snare would fall on the 2nd and 4th leaving the high-hat to accent throughout. however, on a “one drop” beat, the b-ss drum is used only on the 3rd beat, leaving an open sp-ce on beat one, hence the name “one drop”. said to be invented by the original wailers’ drummer carlton barret.

made popular on bob marley & the wailers’ song by the same name.
“feel it in the one drop;
and well still find time to rap;
were makin the one stop,
the generation gap;
now feel this drumbeat
as it beats within,
playin a riddim,
resisting against the system”
