If I could have edited my original thread about this tune at Burning Spear - Shout It Out - Help with the syncopation / feel, I would have.

After some consulting with a few individuals, and some drummers with solid credentials (both in reggae and in music composition) I settled on a half-note triplet over beats 2 and 3. It's clear that the bass is not playing straight on the beat.

You can find my transcription for free [Invalid or Expired Link Removed], on MuseScore.

Mods, perhaps you can merge this to the original thread and change it to a Submission thread.

Given Robbie's recent passing, I'd like to eventually transcribe all the songs on Dry and Heavy, as well as a couple other Burning Spear albums.
