Honestly I must admit that I don't understand what you mean. Sorry.

Santa Is The Drummer on this cause santa was a member on the roots radics @ 1980

bit is difculd to explane what i mean with santas drum style

and i think style scott came in later 1981

because sly begun to play with peter tosh if i am not mistaken:)

Yeah you're right, now I get it. Santa was in the Radics before Style Scott. I think on Levy's 79 Englishman Album it was still Santa. Then a some point in 1980 Style Scott became the Radics Drummer.

But... if Donstrumental is right a few posts back, then maybe Santa was in the Radics at that time, but maybe it was still Sly drumming on this tune.

because the drumming style whas to dificult for santa so sly took over?

@ Appklegold- I just had to go and double check this Album (by ear and not credits) and i stand corrected. Sly and Robbie play on all tracks except Chemistry which is Flabba and Style,there is no Santa anywhere on this album.

@ Gabrath-Englishman Album is Santa and Sly. Look Youthman- Roots Radics With Sly. Mary long Tongue-Roots Radics with Sly.

Depending on whether you guys are musicians or not,the styles between the three drummers are quite obvious and SLYS rolls at the beginning of a track usually stamp his identity before the rest of the band come in.

Okay, cool that you can recognize this. Thanks for the info. Sly is a genius. So my question is answered: The drummer on "Bali-Hi" is Sly.

Do you agree with me that this track has no hi-hat and Sly plays the snare like a bongo/congas but with drumsticks?

To donstrumental


i know what you mean but style scott always do a kick step in the beginning to listen to the King Tubby " the control LP

I am new to this forum so please forgive me if this is common knowledge or if it has been shared on this forum in the past.

Scientist has a website called "Dubmusic Productions" and can be found here:

http://www.dubmusic.com

You can create a free account and download ten songs for free.

However, he has a deal if you sign up and subscribe to his site (the cost is $10 per year) you can download his entire back catalog. When I first saw that I thought it was too good to be true. So I took a chance and signed up, afterall it is only $10. At first my account did not work and I was unable to download any songs past the ten free downloads. So I sent them an email stating my situation and someone replied asking if I could contact them using Skype. Since I was at work at the time and was unable to use Skype they sent me their phone number. I called it and it was the one and only Scientist that I was speaking to. He remedied the situation and from that point on I am able to download as much as I want from his site. So go check his site out and see what you think. There are also a few videos that he has uploaded.

Anyhow, I hope I am not sharing something that has already been shared here. If so forgive me and I hope you all have a great day!!

@Joey:

Hey Newbie Welcome! Thanks for the info. Scientist rules!

@Gabranth

Thank you

I am so happy to be here.

When I spoke to Scientist on the phone he was asking me how I heard about Dub music and what I thought of his site.

He was very down to earth and very helpful.

I am very happy to have found this forum. I have many many questions and I know this is the perfect place to ask them.
