Zildjian Underground - Karriem Riggins

[@daviddebuhr8995]

I think Dilla would be honored... Y'all did him right.

[@MrKRK815]

Amen

[@DJMurgah]

Word!

[@rdavidr]

Major heat

[@andrew_arden]

Probably one of the most underated drummers alive.

[@jonathanhume5266]

When the metronome says : "shiiit, it's Karriem Riggings... Better be in his pocket".

[@unknown8332]

Drumming companies do the most for their communities compared to ANY other instrument and their companies. Vic firth, zildjian, meinl, sonor, dw etc are the truth! Always dropping dope series like these that keep us engaged with the artists that endorse them

[@gustafsone]

Not only that, but they go the extra mile producing these showcases, too. The sound mix and engineering is just as incredible as the drummers themselves. I've been going through every Zildjian series and they just keep getting better and better. I'm so glad they take it as seriously as they do.

[@oscwildle1]

Thank you Zildjian for putting some modern drummers up front!!!!!!

[@maggi-nh8zo]

this is going to be an awesome series, props Zildjian, not that u need it

[@RealityTB]

As a musician in J Dilla's city, he has inspired so many during his time with us! I'm grateful that there are guys like Karriem who continue push his influence outward across multiple genres...

[@karunramani3513]

Karriem is the real OG for Dillaesque live drumming.

[@Konducta4LFE]

Classic! Happy Birthday, J Dilla. Rest in Power.

[@keurosen]

"Rest in power" - YESS

[@robertomorales6488]

That bass drum sound !!!!! Deep, deep groove, bravo!

[@DarrenBrierton]

I’ve literally been refreshing the Zildjian KZbin channel all day waiting for this to come out! Fantastic. Can’t wait for the next five.

[@theinevitable6262]

How did Karriem decode all the off beats? Oh wait he's a drum God, that's how. Just a true creator doing his job.

[@BrennanDivett]

Karriem is a legend. This is going to be a great series!

[@Snowdu]

I wasn't expecting this to be so good. We all know Zildjian makes great cymbals but other companies have been dominating the video market. This series is making them amazing video contenders. More of this please!!

[@c.h.gamble2279]

Much Respect....Brother Riggins You're playing with the same flow as the night I saw you at the Jazz Bakery...Fist bump!

[@strangehousev]

Ludwig Supraphonic for the snare ? Sounds amazing !

[@nathans4957]

whoa that release lineup is bananas

[@OneUpDrumVids]

AHH man I love this!!! Thank you Zildjian!!

[@joeriggs8066]

Big Cuz on Drums Blazing.

[@lenthericjames4925]

Karriem Riggins woooow!!!!!!! GOAT

[@los4drum]

Ive been listening to this cat for years, on common records and other soul aquarian records!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@N3V2-Nevto]

The Ludwig and his choice of Zildjian sounds so good :D

[@tjjoneswinks]

BOB YAH HEAD TO THIS 1!!

[@joshualewis8077]

Oooou yes, keep it up Zildijan

[@JacopoAngeleri]

That feeling whith the kick wow

[@brazycinco5042]

The way he did those kicks so off-beat in honour of Dilla's signature drums. Man...

[@gcharocks]

Damn too bad Questlove and Chris Dave aren’t Zildjian; they practically invented this shit. Stoked for Nate Smith though.

[@gmorton916]

i know Chris Dave endorses Sabian but im pretty sure Questlove is still with Zildjian his setup is on Zildjian's website--but he SHOULD b featured in this series

[@gcharocks]

Gregg731 shit you’re right. That’s weird. He must have been too busy or something.

[@benjamind1286]

I'm pretty sure Nate Smith switched to meinl.

[@pablosanchez5418]

Karriem Riggins is the master OG for this shit

[@h.m1072]

PAUL WILBURY sum they don’t know nun about

[@kaduhangar]

Zildjian The best

[@MichaelJayification]

Props to the drummer for replicating J Dilla beats. The drummer is like everything that Dilla was, except on the drums instead of the MPC3000 beat machine.

[@TheInnerKey]

Dilla used his drums it's a long relationship

[@78proto]

1:40-Slum Village "We Be Dem#1"

[@gjcart26]

[@Supr3m3b3ing]

Nooice

[@lmagine6494]

what's his cymbal setup?

[@ZildjianCompany]

@aidan craig, posted in description :-)

[@airmike._.]

the snare?? anyone??

[@Ted_Swayinghill]

Ludwig Supraphonic. Its one of the most versatile snares in recording history.

[@YoungAlmighty]

He’s so good. I feel rappers should not start with “throw ya hands up!” Tho. That kinda dampened the energy for me. Tho, Kareem and the DJs pocket was so thick I quickly forgot that was a thing and my neck got that bounce ! Lol

[@Lo0se369]

😱🤢😱🤢😱🤢😱🤢Wen tht track came in @ 4:30

[@dzurdzuketi]

Oddness

[@sassafrazz4480]

Yes! The Oddness! 😅

[@Btolbertjr]

Lenny reece better be the next drummer on this shit

[@TheInnerKey]

on my ladies youtube acct right now but thanks. I wasn't familiar but he rips like a machine gun that is all pocket

[@SimbaDrumz]

what genre is this?

[@joshmulberry7638]

Alfa Zack Hip Hop

[@bandslam33]

'Drunk' Drumming 2019

[@ar053x]

he's purposefully playing out of time?

[@IamNiiTeiko]

not out of time. in the pocket

[@KiddWaveyPro]

it's called exploring the sub divisions in between the beats. everything doesn't have to be on a "beat" fr it to be in time.... If you put a metronome on that, he'll be in time. Learn to take music out of a structure and enjoy the creativity inside the music.

[@Adiaf8oros]

You're saying the same thing... @@KiddWaveyPro

[@sunsp.t]

It's the level beyond 16th notes - think about how a classic blues shuffle is between swung and straight. If you think of swung and straight as a continuum, he's basically displacing notes along that continuum. Karriem is able to put specific notes behind, ahead, and on the beat as part of his phrasing. It's the modern Jazz/Hip Hop J DIlla technique. Bending time in this way allows you to have a really dynamic pocket.

[@addrock123]

Joe MacPhail you know. Also cheers from vermont buddy!

[@JCordoba1001]

Ugh i hate Acrylic bass drums

[@michaelkrupp4670]

Is it just me or is the foot work fucking odd?

[@frozd58]

Nice video until 1m48s then i had to stop listening to prevent my ears from bleeding.

[@lindamedina6012]

Frozd your ears must have been blocked before then! This whole vid is fire

[@ol4765]

fuck u

[@frozd58]

@@ol4765 Thank you very much for your kind words. I wish you a nice day.

[@dukewonder4097]

That groove. Soooo rich!
