[@peterhammel3799]

Is Casey part of the Robert Glasper Experiment? I tremember him playing the Keytar on a live gig I saw on You Tube with RGE. Am I wrong?

[@anthonyhardaway1835]

Peter Hammel no your right

[@Skholar1911]

Peter Hammel you're correct, sir.

[@ABCDEFG-mj3np]

Does anyone know the second sample?

[@albertolincetto1785]

Herbie Hancock on sample?

[@ayurequena]

[@skatesurfersnowboard]

+Ayu Requena, You Smart ass! haha

[@vexavexavexa]

which song?

[@skatesurfersnowboard]

"Thought it was you" man

[@h.j.w2783]

4:33 what is that thing Casey has on top of his Rhodes, the black drum machine looking thing.

[@babykaho1]

i think it's a Korg MS2000R and he uses it for the vocoder. probably controls it with the CS reface, but im sure he uses the CS reface as a bass synth as well so i'm not real sure.

[@giorgitsintsabadze645]

how is this at 117K views ?

[@thapeloginya5596]

😢RIP casey

[@anticalgary]

What is he using to loop everything?

[@MrKinetik]

anticalgary he's probably using the keyboard. The white Yamaha Reface CS has a phrase looper on it.

[@Jazzverse]

what are you doing?

[@BILLIARDman2000]

Still not enough liked

[@reyssonbarrosstudior232]

musica de Herbie Hancock

[@landlockedbros]

anyone else find the video editing really distracting lol

[@TKrause5]

Don't like the sound of that snare drum.. I could never get my Yamaha snare drum to sound good on my kit. Still love my Yamaha kit BUT there wood snares do not sound right to me ... Cool video though.

[@giant1band455]

70s Thud. Stays out of the way and blends well. He could have tuned it differently if desired.

[@spacelumps]

jiggling yamaha logo is annoying

[@fufuruskt]

HAHAHA

[@bolttracks]

They used youtube's internal video stabilisation... Which is hilarious when you remember that this is a multi billion dollar company :D

[@YamahaDrumsEurope]

No. We used a jiggling logo. :-)

[@rjbubba203]

i didn't notice until i read this comment

[@captainkuru1]

beats headphones ? For mixing ? This guy is a clown !

[@royjones3099]

U obviously don't get!!!lol!!!!! But then how could you?
