dave i respect you very much for teaching this.

i have one question, i just cant really play a reggae bassline on my keyboard, is it really nescecary to buy a complete bassguitar to make a decent reggaebeat?

i want to use only my keyboard, (with enough bassguitars on it) is it possible?

(trompeth & saxophone is also very difficult)

[LeftyAtTheWashout]

Good stuff man!

[mikeyboardmusic]

MORE OR LESS ;)

[Fran96Full]

Very goood!

[BEbryanBE]

so do you play the same exact chord(1st,3rd,5th or 1st,5th) with your left as you do with you right?

[damiangt]

YES I!

[kawaim0m0]

Nice video!

Can somebody give me some advice on how to keep the tempo? I found really difficult to control my left hand :S

[RasMike24]

@kawaim0m0 Count 4 beats....don't play on the first beat. Let the organ sound on the 2nd and the 4th and the piano (which is called the skank) sound on the 3rd. Practice the skank until it's like second nature. Play it really slow until you get the bubble right. [: 1(rest) 2(organ) 3(piano) 4(organ):]. If that doesn't make sense, I completely understand. LOL. If I have a 2 keyboards I like to have the piano on top and organ on bottom. It's easier for me. Basically, it's all about feel.

[FES206X0]

[derk527]

hey, am I crazy or is your rotary speaker knob set to 10? also when I set up the second manual you suggested it is sounding a lot thinner than yours, is there anything else going on here?

[TheJimboe11]

Hey real helpful vid !!! I've got a nord C1 so i get the same sound and an old roland XP 50 for the piano. Thanks for adding the vid. I think its brilliant that guys like you take time out to record these things to teach people and all for free. Awesome !!! Anyway all the best from Scotland.

[JamaicanboyDriver369]

Nice, its very good to see you teaching a little bit of our music. After all reggae is apart of our culture. Nuff respek to yu for dat sah! Oh you guys call this the reggae bubble huh, we just like to call it chopping. Lol so the bubble means chopping in between chops.

[embiamemucho]

The best lesson video evaaar.... i'm going to show this video to my band

[HEADBUSSAH77]

[baronBirchtree]

no one else even used the word bubble  :(

major props and major thanks!!!

[Reggaelif]

thank you very much !

normaly i play the drums in our band ... but i will learn keyboard too !

this vid helos alot !

[guillermo140]

can you tell me how I can do this on a korg triton pro 76-key thx!

[funkyslapbass12]

does anyone know a cheap version of this set up?

[RubyTuesdayLynn]

i don't have anything fancy, does it matter what you have or can you the bubble on the piano?

[Vanilotto]

@RubyTuesdayLynn you kinda do need a organ, but... it depends on your sound... maybe it'll sound good with the band (if you have one) if not... if sounds good to you.. it sounds good :D

[RubyTuesdayLynn]

@Vanilotto thanks so much, i totally get it now thanks to your video!!

[dtone360401]

Hi there. Actually I also play and you may want to change your options to playing the skank to left hand. The bubble is optional thee days but the skank can be kept constant and the right hand plays the bubble and can also play the horn lines etc etc and organ fills.

[johnlecepe]

yeah first vid with a guy who plays reggae bubble..100%. i listened echo m. on myspace : nice ! check my band, it's also reggae rock style (mix of sublime, manu chao, etc)

cheers from france

[cj4everjava]

Hi, familiair techniques to me :-)

As a fellow reggaeband-keyboardist I really appreciate your video !!!

I can feel what you feel on the keys ;-)

[smartijn]

this dude. is epic

[DaniRieg]

Great tutorial, thank you very much! I would love to see more videos, of other Hammond concepts you might find essential?

[totsade1]

cool

[Hyper5nic]

Thanks for showing us how you play.

;-) I hope i can adapt it to join my friends in their reggae band.

[BillButton91]

@Hyper5nic I'm tryna do the same haha

[rnakahata]

Do/can you play the inversions (bubble) with the right hand as well?

[0HandicapMan0]

hey dude thats awesome. i can play saxophone and drums but i want to learn keyboard. (i can play a few other instruments but ive stopped).

i dont have enough money to afford both these keyboards so whats a good one to start with? im gonna be playing in a reggea band with my friends once i get good enough...but i need a keyboard first lol.

what can i get for around 500$ or cheaper? something thats good for reggae

[patharbourman]

Dave, man i've been waiting for something like this for so long...hardly any reggae key info on the web. I have Jimmy Perts book, but this was so much better. can you do another with the stab, double stab etc? anything you could post would be a huge help

[biggety20]

Thanks so much for the vid! When you bubble with your left hand, do you hit 1, 3 and 5 or are you just hitting the 1st and 5th? Also, I have the nord electro 2 and I there doesn't seem to be a slow rotary button. Do you recommend upgrading to the electro 3?

[EchoMovement]

@biggety20 no worries, my pleasure. It depends, but I usually hit full triads to define the chord and find inversions to be comfortable. The 1 & 5 is good when you want less mid-bottom resonance, I've found.

I'm not familiar with the Electro 2- what happens when you hit the fast button again?...that should slow down the rotary effect. The Electro 3 is certified amazing, so if you find it in your budget, I strongly recommend the upgrade.

Best,

Dave

[biggety20]

@EchoMovement thanks for the response, Dave! I'll def look into the electro 3. I saw your spot in keyboard mag this month. It was awesome. Congrats!

[misterdregs]

@biggety20

The slow rotary is simply when you have the Leslie sim is on, but the "fast" is not turned on. It is the sound of the lower rotor on a real Leslie, without the upper high speed horn spinning.

It's the same setup on the NE3.

[misterdregs]

@biggety20

The NE3 is, as Dave says, a big step forward. It has the improved organ "engine" of the Nord C1 (now C2, I guess), better acoustic pianos and the capability to load a variety of sounds (guitars, strings, horns, chromatic percussion, etc) from the Nord website.

[djsweetthing]

I like this!!!

[bassaroo]

Thanks for this info - VERY helpful - thanks for sharing!

[misterdregs]

Thanks, Dave. A really nice demonstration.

[timcruz75]

It took me so long how to learn how to bubble, this guy explained in like 3 min! This is awesome doesn't make want to skank

[EchoMovement]

Glad everyone is getting good use out of this vid, and I most def appreciate the compliments.

VertX I'm in Echo Movement- check us out online.

RootsReggaeFH we are from coastal New Jersey. For this video, I'm in Am and the progression is Am G. Ganja chords are Bb Fm. Cheers bro.

Wish you all the best in reggae and beyond.

[robsielea]

Excellent - just what I was looking for on youtube. This is the best explanation of bubbling I've seen yet.

[kizzykan]

Perfect Tutorial. I have a session coming up and I needed to leant the basics of the bubble. Thanks.

[RootsReggaeFH]
