Under the hood

Boasting simplicity, KARRIEM RIGGINS DRUMS tucks a kaleidoscope of percussion into a vivid interface – beautifully designed by artist Jason Jägel. Captured with care at the iconic Studio 3 at Sunset Sound, the sounds are treated with equal creativity, having been processed through modular units, tape machines, spring reverbs, and mixed up with some of Karriem’s own secret sauce. The result? Standout sounds that encourage experimentation and are everything but mechanical.

Behind the sleeves

A multi-faceted jazz drummer and hip hop producer, Karriem has worked alongside the likes of J Dilla, Common, Madlib, Erykah Badu, Slum Village, Talib Kweli, The Roots, and many more. We sat down with the producer to dive into some of his favorite works, from iconic records that shaped hip hop, to trailblazing chart-toppers and his very own debut album.
