are u sure Santa was the first one ? becuase if u listen to Style Scott his drumb line sounds the same throughout all his sessions and he sticks with his riddim thats why when i heard a song that ive never heard i hear the players and most of the time its Style Scott's style of drums that i can hear cause i really pay attention to the drummer alot.

check Santa's official website i provided carefully

so why would santa and style take turns as lead drummers and calling themselves roots radics so who is the original ? i like style scotts drum line better

Arize That question u will have to ask them yourself. At the same time u are asking who is the original drummer well SANTA JUST MENTIONED it on his WEBSITE

well yeah i understand dat, i know u wouldnt know, but im just saying why would they take turns as being lead drummers u kno

This is what Flabba says "We a use Santa until we buck up on Style Scott, then we just form the band Radics officially, because them man there dedicated: me, Steelie, Style Scott and Bingy Bunny."

So it was all about dedication.

There is a lot more to this quote and, if anyone is interested, I will post it when I get a chance.

Instead of trying to find the first Radics line up it could be interesting to find out the first recording (album/inch) Roots Radics got credits on!

As mentioned before the first step to this Barrington Levy's Englishman.
Maybe you know other earlier recordings where Roots Radics dead certain got credits for (please don't guess - be sure)!!

hans the reason im asking is cause i wanna know if u dont wanna know then dont get in this forum simple as dat

I quote;
"According to Flabba, the first recording session to feature an early version of the Roots Radics yielded "a song with with Earl Zero - the first Earl Zero sound.""

Santa left in 1980 Style Scott take over.
Sowell left 1981 - Dwight Pickney take over.

first knows albums with the Roots Radics
Barrington Levy's albums Staolin Temple/Englishman/Bounty Hounter.
