Wow, thanks for the explanation.
I guess one of the reasons I've never been able to play it is because I didn't
learn it right.

One of the reasons I can't play
reggae convincingly is because I don't use the stuff; I can't imagine
anyone being able to play "plink.... plink.... plink... plink" on the
2 and 4 for hours on end without it. :-)
I play in a reggae band, and I don't use any "remedy". At least three
things are different from what you describe:
1) The bass-player is from Ghana and the drummer from Mozambique, and
those guys groove like something else...
2) You don't play "plink... plink" on 2 and 4 at all. You play tobacco
on 1-&, 2 and 2-&. I use a rhodes on "to" and "cco" and an
hammond w
lesslie on "ba". Getting this groove right is not that easy...
3) They pay well :-)
