We all know him from the Roots and his signature Fro with the Pick look, but IMO, one of the GOAT drummers. In the Pocket for days. The drums are an essential part of the groove and this man nails it. Lets look at some of his work.















He's got jams with Roots, D'angelo, Common, Pharrell, Badu and more.

His work as producer, let alone a drummer is very understated. Him and Karriem Riggins are the only drummers I've seen successfully recreate Dilla's sloppy drums.

Dope finds. That Dilla Joints album is crazy.



I see some folks got some personal feelings against him in here and thats cool and all. Do you.

I mainly wanted this thread to enjoy the music and keep it at that. Putting everything aside and just talking music, the brother does his thing.
