The 'One Drop Rhythm' is a percussion play style popularised by the Reggae artist Carlton Barrett. It is a back beat dominated by 3 snare rim shots with bass drum joining on the 3rd beat.
Reggae is a genre of music, dancehall is a sub-genre within reggae. Dancehall has more of a hip-hop influence than traditional roots and one-drop reggae beats.
One drop, steppers, and rockers.
Technically speaking, reggae (like it sounds in the "One Drop Style" from the 1970s until today) is one of many styles used in rocksteady from 1968 to create variety. It is difficult to determine which rocksteady song that was the first to sound like reggae, with the off beats created with interaction between the skank from the rhythm guitar and the one drop beat on the drum. So many vinyl singles were released without printing the year on the label. But the year 1968 is printed on Larry & Alvins "Nanny Goat", in Bob Andys "Unchained", in Eric 'Monty' Morri's "Say What You're Saying" - all of them reggae songs. In a live interview Larry Marshall mention himself and Burning Spear making the first reggae songs (the reggae riddim in rocksteady) in January - april 1968. On the other hand, many songs 1968-1971 were called "reggae" or "skinhead reggae", or "primitive reggae" but these songs were not technically reggae - only songs with a aimless drumming to the intensive use of rhythm guitar.

Drop the Beat was created in 2000.
No truly universal elements (that would be in EVERY song) exist in reggae, yet there are many hallmarks of the sound. One element present in many reggae recordings which helps give the music its distinctive feel is the "one-drop" drum pattern in which the first beat in a measure is essentially "dropped," giving reggae its trademark bounce. Another would be the use of upstrokes in the guitar playing, often accenting the upbeats (one-AND two-AND...) Again, there is no real answer to this question, yet these are some trademark elements of reggae music.
One drop, steppers, and rockers.
To drop the beat you have to produce music that is rhythmic and harmonic.
The duration of Drop the Beat is 1800.0 seconds.
Drop a Beat was created on 1992-05-15.
