Tubby, Roots Radics, Soul Syndicate style drums were recorded very similarly to funk/R&B methods of the 70's in the US.Punchy yet tight bass drum, crispy highs, and a thick yet slightly high pitched snare. From a recording stand point, any book about recording drums would be good b/c the recording process is essentially the same. best regards, respects, /Mike Zee ZEE DUB LAB also, in case you did not do it yet, check DMC-techniques pages, you see there links, some notes on drums are there and other aspects as well. The usually would be glad to e-mail you back.
I can give you some recommendations, quickly from top of my head: For older style sounding check out this producer: Solomon Jabby, he plays all instruments, and drums are very clear and very 'classical' for dub-reggae, you can't miss it for more modern directions, but yet still very distinct dub check: DUBCREATOR, actually he produces all the variety, he does real drum-performances, combining with electronic drums and programming/sequencing, so it would be a good exhibition, not to mention that music is very cool as well also, you can try to e-mail these guys if you get any specific questions. If you are drummer yourself, you will get the idea right from there.

I think the best way to get an idea about how to drum is to simply listen to some dub(s). And I think you'll know how as you go with your personal experience producing dubs. However, you can play your drums, and actually 'compose' your songs/tracks in some specific way, when you actually thinking ahead about making DUB-track, and not just recording reggae song. So, the buttom line is, if you know how/and can play reggae-drums, then you're ready to go for dub. DUB is really a combo of performance and post-recording studio-production, well there's a such thing as 'live-dub', where sound-guy behind mixing board is a 'part of the band' and is a sort of performer. Basicaly you play reggae drums, and the as dub-producer you can choose and pick and do what ever with your recordings. So if you take this as a starting point, then you know what to do as a drummer. aside off discussion about 'what's dub', but i stand on a view, that DUB is strongly REGGAE-based music first, and the rest of it comes second. here's what i can tell you thou, from my perspective: first of all i don't believe there's a such thing as 'dub-style'-drumming. So, i can't really gove you a sort of 'b-board lesson' on how to drum for dub. I was 'doing well' on roland's e-drum-set thou., but later quit it and sold the 'thing', 'cos i've figured i could make much better drum tracks for the music i'm after by 'advance sampling/sequensing'. Tickets are on sale now.Hi, 'gotDub?', first of all i myself am not really performing-drummer, i never had enough patience to learn playing real acoustic d-kit.
