hells yea!

[VictorLoos]

in fact.. Sly is the greatest reggae drummer, but the author's of the clip is a "little" wrong.. if you listen the original track, you will notice that sly's play a 2-times inna sidestick, not side-stick with the left and beat with the right stick on 2nd beat.. so only that way the vibe will be perfect!!!

Muchas Gacias boludos!!

on the sly music, the kick is on the same time of the first snare...

Hè, theblacknightrider of you think you knowhow better, you should count better. Because on 2 and 4 he plays crossstick and on 3 There is no kick, even no guitar bass note. He plays the kick on 1a and 3a.
