I play in a reggae band, and I don't use any "remedy". At least three
things are different from what you describe:

1) The bass-player is from Ghana and the drummer from Mozambique, and
those guys groove like something else...

2) You don't play "plink... plink" on 2 and 4 at all. You play tobacco
on 1-&, 2 and 2-&. I use a rhodes on "to" and "cco" and an hammond w
lesslie on "ba". Getting this groove right is not that easy...

3) They pay well :-)
