"What is Hip?" by T.O.P.

[Rugdoubler]

It actually is not the drum part to WIH.

I know this inside and out and I have a transcript.

You are not playing the main groove right and missing so much detail

and subtlety. Have a deeper listen. It's not it. HH part is the king kong pattern:

x xx xx like that. Not straight 8th notes. So much more that you are missing.

You are driving a semi over this intricate and cool groove. I'll post my own video soon.

Solid groove. Laid back, relaxed.. doesn't feel labored like a lot of covers do. Well done.

[need2loosegirth]

hey Patrickphx11.....Id like to see you keep this beat on you Wallmart kit!!!

[ivanbagual]

what the fucking nasty groove is this it's worng very very worng go listening again and be more senssible

[Patrickphx11]

What in the HELL is hard about this?

[drumz4jah]

does it have to be hard technically to be worth playing? Besides, it's making it groove that's the challenging part.

[intuantu]

Patrick and Ivan are jealous bitches. That was both faithful to the original and adding your own flair (which I guess makes it very very worng!).

[Drewberry32]

@drumz4jah couldn't agree more. People so easily oversee the technicality and importance of being able to play a tight, clean groove. It's what separates the men from the boys who just blast demis.

@Patrickphx11 Patric shut it :P ur drumming on a wallmarkt kit

[Patrickphx11]

@14HACK3R oh come on

[marcusphenom31]

this is the real deal man, very nice playing, awesome kit too

[urcoolcoolcool]

Nice dude

[johnnybgood12345]

sound quality is meh.

but the beat is spot on dude. i love it so much this helped me out massive amounts. i was trying to figure this out by ear and this definitely took away most of the work.

[johnnybgood12345]

i think you might actually be overplaying it hahaha.

i like how you hit hard though cause everyone gets so obsessed with garibaldis touch and really you gotta just play with your own style.

[jaminlikesdrums]

Well done. It would been better from a side angle because David's beats are always busy with ghost notes on the snare.

Nice job....my teacher Mr. Carlo out of San Jose explained this arrangement to me in the mid 70's. It was the 2nd funk song I learned. There is the push pull technique that was incorprated for the RH. I know this arrangement so well, that I was mimicking the brass and vocal parts...

[drumz4jah]

I never looked at it as push pull...that's interesting. Thanks for the compliment!

[freshbass]

yea man! as a bassist who is frustrated w/ every drummer I play this tune with all i can say is AMEN!

[drumz4jah]

Hey, thanks! That means a lot coming from a bass player that plays this tune...I've never actually had a chance to play it live.

[doublethumpbass89]

yes man i feel you as i bassist myself...i also get frustrated with drummers...some just dont know how to groove...there all about double bass and shit and it kinda makes me sad lol

[hithatrollz]

Ya, man if feel you. I'm a drummer and i used to use dp more than dp and hh. But got into funk and i use db maybe twice a month now lol. IMO when the hithat goes you also loose ghost notes to the dp too.

[DrummerDG]

Solid. You even nailed the offbeat 16th note bit. Mine always sounds like crap. =P

[rlrrlrll21]

Now let me ask you the eternal question....What is hip!? Nice man
