The latest addition to Native Instrument’s Play Series range comes from the pioneering hip hop producer and jazz drummer Karriem Riggins. In this video, follow along as Karriem walks through key kits and sounds from KARRIEM RIGGINS DRUMS, while offering stories from his extensive career and insights into how he develops tracks from these essential building blocks.
KARRIEM RIGGINS DRUMS tucks a kaleidoscope of percussion into a vivid interface, and the sounds are treated with equal creativity, captured with care in the iconic Studio 3 at Sunset Sound and processed through modular units, tape machines, spring reverbs, and some of Karriem’s own secret sauce. The result? Standout sounds that encourage experimentation and are everything but mechanical.
