Wait, has Lloyd Knibb passed? I head that Lloyd Brivett (bass player for Skatalites) passed recently, but the RIP tells me otherwise?

Jimmy Cliff has never been a member of the heptones!! And he didn't start at studio one but with Leslie Kong.

Thanks for the correction. I confused him with Leroy Sibbles.

@FreakWhenSees b/c for some godless reason he's using electronic drums, at least for his toms.

RIP Lloyd

[FreakWhenSees]

How does the drummer make his toms sound that way?

I love it
