Use skanking rhythms on an electric guitar
Use bubbling rhythms on organ or piano
One drops (snare only on 3) with a single kick on one
One drops plus a steppers beat on the kick (4 to floor)
Rockers (actually pronounced more like raucous) one drop style played in double time so that you get a snare on 2 and 4
Lots of percussion
Cowbell
Congas
Bongos
Timbales
Tambourine
Horns
Trombone
Tenor Sax
Trumpet
Hard to know for sure what you want to know dude
Example tune might help

The sound at 2secs that echos out. It's in damn near every reggae song every beat..

I can't listen to the example right now but I think I know what you mean. It's the sound that stabs in every 1/2 beat which is typical in reggae music.
I pretty sure the majority is just different styles of of guitar.

Steelpan reminds me of Mario Kart instead of songs.

The sound that echoes out in the DM song is definitely a guitar, though. No steelpans/drums involved.

I agree with krushing on this one - it is an electric guitar treated with dub style echo ala Sly and Robbie
Then it continues on the off-beat (or half-beat if you prefer) without the dub style echo. Just a little phaser/chorus and skanking along - that is what the up strum off-beat rhythm is referred to in reggae.
Oh, and great example tune, dude.

I haven't listened to the sample but I'm pretty sure that dub style echo you're referring to is actually just a wah-wah effect.

Nope - true, legit dub echo (Classic Roland space echo) as in the original meaning of dub as created and perfect by Robbie and Sly - aint no wah-wah that can do that as far as I know.
To quote krushing "listening to the example provided before answering recommended" - making a comment without listening to the example is the best way to make yourself look like a fool.
