In this 1981 interview with Jools Holland, Stewart Copeland gives us a quick history lesson about the backbeat of drums in popular music, starting with early jazz, to Motown to funk.
Taking things a step further, Stewart demonstrates how reggae music uses the backbeat and completely flips it "upside down", placing it on beat 3 with the kick drum.
Not only is this a great primer for the basis of reggae drumming, it also gives an inside look into how Stewart's own "style" has been heavily influenced by the music of the West Indies and South America.

Norma Fraizer explained to me that Carlton Barrett worked in Cuba cutting sugarcane before he joined the Wailers. She said that is where the timbale intros came from in his drumming. I also hear the subtle influence of clave in Carlton’s drumming. He must have spent sometime playing clave based music.
Mad props to Neil Thomas! Your comment turned a gigawatt lightbulb on over this concept for me, causing it to instantly make perfect sense. All of a sudden I feel like I can play a reggae beat intuitively and shut off the analytical part of my brain.
YES greg! Where?
But more so what about Rich Terrana (I think) The drummer from the marvellous group, The Frightnrs??
Get that guy to do some loops for the writer that wants more Rocksteady????
