Hi, 'gotDub?', <BR> <BR>first of all i myself am not really performing-drummer, i never had enough patience to learn playing real acoustic d-kit. <BR>I was 'doing well' on roland's e-drum-set thou..., <BR>but later quit it and sold the 'thing', 'cos i've figured i could make much better drum tracks for the music i'm after by 'advance sampling/sequensing'. <BR>So, i can't really gove you a sort of 'b-board lesson' on how to drum for dub. <BR> <BR>here's what i can tell you thou, from my perspective: <BR> <BR>first of all i don't believe there's a such thing as 'dub-style'-drumming. <BR>aside off discussion about 'what's dub' <IMG SRC="
http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... /happy.gif" ALT=":)">, <BR>but i stand on a view, that DUB is strongly REGGAE-based music first, and the rest of it comes second. <BR>So if you take this as a starting point, then you know what to do as a drummer. <BR>Basicaly you play reggae drums, and the as dub-producer you can choose and pick and do what ever with your recordings. DUB is really a combo of performance and post-recording studio-production, <BR>well there's a such thing as 'live-dub', where sound-guy behind mixing board is a 'part of the band' and is a sort of performer. <BR> <BR>So, the buttom line is, if you know how/and can play reggae-drums, then you're ready to go for dub. <BR>However, you can play your drums, and actually 'compose' your songs/tracks in some specific way, when you actually thinking ahead about making DUB-track, and not just recording reggae song. And I think you'll know how as you go with your personal experience producing dubs. <BR> <BR>I think the best way to get an idea about how to drum is to simply listen to some dub(s). If you are drummer yourself, you will get the idea right from there. <BR> <BR>I can give you some recommendations, quickly from top of my head: <BR> <BR>For older style sounding check out this producer: <BR><A HREF="
http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/311/solomon_jabby.html" TARGET="_top">Solomon Jabby</A>, <BR>he plays all instruments, and drums are very clear and very 'classical' for dub-reggae, you can't miss it <IMG SRC="
http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... /happy.gif" ALT=":)"> <BR> <BR>for more modern directions, but yet still very distinct dub check: <BR><A HREF="
http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/102/dubcreator.html" TARGET="_top">DUBCREATOR</A>, <BR>actually he produces all the variety, he does real drum-performances, combining with electronic drums and programming/sequencing, so it would be a good exhibition <IMG SRC="
http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... /happy.gif" ALT=":)">, <BR>not to mention that music is very cool as well <IMG SRC="
