If you\\u2019ve heard any reggae music in your entire life then you\\u2019ve heard Sly Dunbar\\u2019s drumming, or at the very least, his influence. As one half of Sly and Robbie, he says he\\u2019s probably played on a million songs. Sly and Robbie got their start as the rhythm section for Peter Tosh in 1976, and after touring with him for a number of years started Taxi, where they would produce other artists and/or act as their rhythm section. Collaborators included the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Black Uhuru, Madonna, Grace Jones, Sinead O\\u2019Connor, Serge Gainsbourg, No Doubt, Britney Spears, and probably a million more.
