=== Rastafarian Drumming === Earlier origins of Rastafarian music connected to the high usage of drums. The play of drums represents a form of communication between Rastafarian gods and their supporters. Drumming would commonly take place during a reasoning session, the gathering of Rastafarians to chant, pray, and sing in the home of a Rasta or a community center. [[Count Ossie]], a Rastafarian drum player revealed various rhythmic patterns after noticing the escalated sensation of drumming during prayer.<ref name=":8"/> Incorporation of the drums in spiritual sessions stems from the [[Rhythm in Sub-Saharan Africa|African drumming]] and Africans and Rastafarians seek for cultural identity. Majority of slaves not having religious belief, coincidentally Rastafarians having no music led to the integration of the groups. This increased the spread of the Rastafarian religion as slaves gained a new religion, and Rastafarians enjoyed Buru music, [[Afro-Jamaicans|Afro-Jamaican]] rhythm music.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Backus |first=Leroy M. |date=1980 |title=An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Sources on Jamaican Music |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/1214520 |journal=The Black Perspective in Music |volume=8 |issue=1 |pages=35β53 |doi=10.2307/1214520 |jstor=1214520 |issn=0090-7790 |access-date=2022-05-27 |archive-date=2022-05-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220509173953/https://www.jstor.org/stable/1214520 |url-status=live }}</ref>
