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.
