What led you to name OneDrop?

I had read the company description on the YYE shop page that explained what “one drop” meant when it was still there, but what thought process led you to use the name? Like what correlated your brand with one drop? Thanks!

I’m really hoping it’s from the Bob Marley song!

Dude it could be! I think one drop is like a sub genre of reggae or like African roots music (David if I’m wrong please enlighten me)

As guessed below, it’s related the Bob Marley song “One Drop”. A One Drop is a roots reggae drum beat. The beat is technically simple, but very difficult to play with the right feel. That emphasis on feel was the inspiration for us. We wanted to put the right feel into our business. We also love reggae and played in reggae bands in the past. The original/parent name of the company is One Drop Design. We also liked that the acronym is ODD.
