- Carlton Barrett is mostly remembered as the drummer of Bob Marley and the Wailers. But in reality his role in reggae culture and history is immense. He was one of the architects of the genre as we know it today and the backbone of the Tuff Gong's musical machine

One of the best drummers ever....Full Stop.
Carlton Barrett is my favorite reggae drummer
As a drummer, he’s truly an inspiration 🥁
He was one of those musicians that can convince a music snob that reggae contains greatness. Like Dean Frasier, Burning Spear, Augustus Pablo, Ernest Ranglin, etc..
CARLTON BARRETT IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME AND FAVORITE DRUMMERS!!1 BRILLIANT, INNOVATIVE, UNPARALLELED, MASTER OF THE "ONE DROP" STYLE!!! SUCH A TRAJEDY HE WAS CUT DOWN IN HIS PRIME BY SUCH HEATHENS!!! LONG LIVE CARLY'S SPIRIT AND MUSIC!!! JAH BLESS!!!❤💛💚🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥✡
Saw Carly with Bob and the Wailers in Australia, 1977. What he was doing on the hi-hat made me woodshed for awhile. Genius.
The Barett brothers are the foundation of Bob Marley's music and they don't receive just credit.
Damn shame 3 murderers run free while this man, Mr. Carlton isuppose to be alive right now.
Originator of 'One Drop' style & fashion
First time I heard of him was when bob was shouting out the band members on babylon by bus. I've been a dedicated Carly fan ever since. What a drummer. Bless
Yes thank you for taking my video recommendation!! As a predominantly reggae drummer Carly is easily my biggest influence… the fact that he can play something different nearly every measure (particularly in the Wailers first 2 island albums) while still maintaining a solid rhythm and groove is unlike anyone else to ever play the instrument. I’m so thankful for his great teachings.
@@zn12914 Yes I. You inspired this one. Thanks for recommending it ✌️
What about Tinleg? I think his syncopation between snare and kick is even better than Carly. Most people confuse Tinleg's songs with Carly because Pablo put Barrett on the liner notes of the album. King Tubby Meets Rockers uptown is mostly Tinleg. The this is Augustus Pablo album is pretty much all Tinleg except Pablo In Dub, I think that may be Barrett. Carley had the hi hat mastered though. One of the only drummers of any style to make up his own hi hat patterns.
God rest his soul. What a travesty of justice! That's an injustice system!
Thanks for this one...Foundation !
Rest in Jah Power Brotha...
Happy to see this upload. One love to Carlie.
Alright Carly! Can't wait. I only have simple fare today of cheddar and sardines but it'll rock. Reminds me of humble beginnings Those Wailing Hippie Boys must've been through. Ttyl ✌️
Rip to the Barrett brothers.

Talking Blues was written by a brethren from Linstead
...his work on the Augustus Pablo's cut/album "King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown" has got to be one of the finest examples of reggae drumming ever recorded...probably Carlton's career masterpiece. That unbelievable remix of Carlton's drum work found on Jacob Miller/Augustus Pablo's "Baby I Love You So" by King Tubby ("King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown") is why King Tubby is considered one of the baddest/most influential engineers in the history of music-regardless of genre...
That track is actually played by little known drummer and just as underrated Lloyd Tinleg Adams.
@@OneDrop504 Actually I heard that claim from Addis Pablo, son of Augustus Pablo. However, that contradicts every discography/sessionography I've ever read. Until somebody can conclusively prove otherwise, I gotta give credit to Carlton. The cat who can shed light on this would be guitarist Chinna Smith who was on the session. I'll reach out online and see if he'll set the record straight as to who was on drums...
@@rjlohr Addis would say that because Pablo or Chinna told him. Addis plays tributes to his dad with Chinna. I correspond with someone who opened for Pablo, and he said Pablo said the same thing, that a LOT of those tracks were Tinleg. Check out my videos. I've been studying those two drummers for years. I can tell because there is a distinct difference. Carlton's thing was incorporating complicated hi hat patterns into his bass and snare syncopation. Tinleg was pretty straight ahead on the hi hat most of the time or he would do straight triplets. but his syncopation between bass and snare was unparalleled. Tinleg's open hats are out of left field, and his fills are different. Also, WAY more kick drum use with Tinleg. Listen to Baby I Love You So then listen to Auntie Lu Lu by Junior Byles. Some of the same fills in both songs, and that's Tinleg on Auntie LuLu. Also, check the credits for Who Say Jah No Dread by Jacob Miller, which is all the same tracks from King Tubby Meets the Rockers Uptown, they credit Tinleg and Barrett. Barrett did play Stop Them Jah and another one or two, but the rest is Tinleg. The Barretts were known as Marley's rhythm section and he was becoming an international star at that time. It was better for Pablo to credit them for sales.

@@OneDrop504 you could very well be right. Thanks for the informed input...will check out the Junior Byles cut per your suggestion. I'm big on giving credit where credit is due, especially for drum work on that level. Addis told me that Familyman played bass on "Stop Them Jah" and that Robbie played bass on "Cassava Piece", "Baby I Love You So" and "King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown". The credits on the album list both Familyman & Robbie...always nice to actually know who played on what cut...if Chinna gets back to me, I'll post his reply...
Uncle Carly ❤
..check out Bob Marley and The Wailers 'kinky reggae' ..live at The Lyceum 1975 .... Carlton was in his elements.... Babylon by Bus is another concert captured on vinyl....'punky reggae party'..is a killer!!

@@user-io8ss3zd4s Great suggestion 👍 Will work on it soonest
@@ReggaeAppreciationSociety Thanks in advance
@@ReggaeAppreciationSociety Keith Hudson "Pick a Dub" album is up there. The Barretts played on every track. But also, Carlton only played on a couple of tracks on King Tubby Meet the Rockers Uptown. Pablo mainly used Lloyd Tinleg Adams on that early stuff. Baby I Love You So is Tinleg on drums.
I’m maybe related to them ❤both brothers
@@tb22k Is your surname Barrett?
