Kette Drum Riddim

Well supported

A 1995 riddim built by Bobby 'Digital' Dixon, named for the Nyabinghi kette drum and characterised by meditative drumming and acoustic-guitar strums. It became the emblematic rhythm of the mid-1990s Rasta renaissance in dancehall, drawing conscious cuts from Sizzla, Buju Banton, Morgan Heritage and Garnett Silk; Donovan Germain's Penthouse issued a companion version the same year.
