Hey there, rockstars! Welcome back to The Lil’ Drummer Girl Podcast, where we keep the beats rolling and the good vibes flowing. Today, I’ve got a real treat for you—none other than Wesley Finley, the powerhouse drummer behind the legendary roots' reggae band Rebelution. If you’ve ever grooved to their smooth yet electrifying beats, you already know this guy is a master of his craft.

We’re talking rhythms, reggae, and rising up as Rebelution rocks St. Pete. Hey, if you missed the St. Pete show, there's more to come. This year roster isn't done yet. See the link below

In This Episode, We Cover:

  • How Wesley Found His Groove – From early inspirations to rocking massive festival stages, what shaped his drumming style?
  • The Magic Behind Rebelution’s Sound – How does the band craft that signature blend of roots reggae, dub, and smooth vibes?
  • Drumming for a Movement – Reggae is more than music—it’s a message. Wesley shares how Rebelution keeps the spirit of unity, love, and social awareness alive and how he does it with being part of the Key for a Cure children's cancer treatment fundraising activities.

Tips for Aspiring Drummers – Wesley’s advice for keeping your playing tight, your timing on point, and your passion alive.

So, whether you're a die-hard reggae fan, a drummer looking to master that hypnotic groove, or just someone
