Summary

Description
English: One Drop drum pattern. This may be considered double-time. See: File:Reggae double riff on D and Em64.png.
  • Perone, James (2012). The Album: A Guide to Pop Music's Most Provocative, Influential, and Important Creations, unpaginated, n.8. ABC-CLIO. ISBN 9780313379079. "In roots reggae music, he one-drop rhythm became quite popular in the mid-1970s. The rhythm was achieved by the drumm and had a distint sound. In 4/4 time, one drop was achieved when the drummer was accenting only the third beat of the measure."
  • Prior, Helen (2016). Music and Familiarity: Listening, Musicology and Performance, p.244. Routledge. ISBN 9781317092537. "In reggae drumming, the 'one-drop' rhythm derives its character from the drummer not emphasising the first beat of the bar. Instead, the first beat of the bar (the 'one') is 'dropped', typically omitted altogether or marked with only a light stroke on the hi-hat at most, whilst the power of the snare and kick drums are saved for later in the bar."
  • Strong, Jeff (2011). Drums For Dummies, p.162-3. ISBN 9781118068618. "The term one drop simply refers to the way you play the bass drum. You have one drop' or stroke/accent on the second and fourth beats. In each of these rhythms, the bass drum plays the backbeat along with a cross-stick on the snare drum."
  • Thomakos, John (2010). Drum Set Styles Encyclopedia, p.60. Mel Bay. ISBN 9781610652193. "Two of the most common feels in Reggae music are the One Drop and Steppers. These time-feels are in 4/4 time. The One Drop incorporates an accented pulse on beat three of every bar."
  • Veal, Michael (2007). Dub: Soundscapes and Shattered Songs in Jamaican Reggae, p.32. Wesleyan University. ISBN 9780819565723. "The 'one drop' became standardized into a minimalist pattern in which the bass drum emphasized beats 2 and 4, the snare (playing mainly on the rim) alternately doubled the bass drum or improvised syncopations, while the hi-hat kept straight or swung eighth-note time."

Licensing

This media depicts a rhythm outside of a specific musical context. Rhythms without melody or harmony (no "distinctiveness"), may be used in compositions by multiple composers ("common material"), and may not be readily apparent in compositions. As such, a rhythm is a musical concept or technique, which is considered too simple to be eligible for copyright protection, or which consists only of technique, with no original creative input.
