I’m in jazz band at school and I feel like I’m not playing well enough but this really helped me to outline specific things I can do and strive for rather than people just telling me to listen and practice. Thank you!

@dangerics 10 месяцев назад

I hate that! “Practice!” I’m like, yeah, practice what!!?? This guy’s a good teacher!

@MusicByTomas 2 года назад

I'm not a drummer, I'm a pianist, and I regularly watch your videos. Helps me understand the role of the drummer and internalize the swing.

@drumqtips 2 года назад

That's awesome to hear Tomas! You and me can talk about altered dominant and #5 chords sometime:)

@joewar-booker5485 2 года назад

Tips worth their weight in gold. Magnificent video, I really appreciate that way of expressing sensations and postures when playing drums. Quincy, I won't get tired of repeating it, I love these videos, I enjoy them... A very cordial greeting.

@tdrum21 2 года назад

This is really a stellar page & he shared lots of deep knowledge in a very clear way

@drumqtips 2 года назад

I will never get tired of saying thanks so much brother Joe for your kind words! I appreciate you🙏🏾

@displaychicken 2 года назад

This video is solid gold. The fact that it’s delivered while your playing is impressive. To me this is the kind of knowledge that is the most helpful for learning. It’s simple and practical, not too theoretical…can be implemented instantly. The fact that you demo it as you’re talking is extra impressive.

@chuckc7375 2 года назад

Quincy, Philly Joe was great at feathering the bass drum. Play on an album with Sonny Rollins and used that technique and it sounded really excellent. They didn’t even use a piano player on that particular tune and Philly just made that tune sound so good. I think the tune was, surrey with the fringe on top. Man those guys were just awesome. Sonny Rollins and Philly Joe , two monster musicians.

@drumqtips 2 года назад

Philly is the man. I love that track, surrey with the fringe on top. Duo and swingin’!! Thanks for sharing Chucky!

@musamusashi 2 года назад

Having been playing for over 30 years i went through most of those issue (not that i don't fall into a few of them from time to time), but it's great to see them summarised in one excellent video. Plus i love the Purdie vibe 😁 Great work brother, you got a new subscriber. Peace!

@drumqtips 2 года назад

Welcome aboard Musa. Glad you enjoyed the lesson!

@joeyollie123 2 года назад

I've played with people who like the left hand to be quite busy. I think the key is to play with varied dynamics - play accents in key places that give the music forward momentum and swing, then fill in the gaps with grace notes, a bit like Buddy Rich used to. Definitely works in a small group setting it done right.

@drumqtips 2 года назад

Good point Joe! Thanks for sharing sir.

@chuckharling 2 года назад

Thank you for your videos, I am using ideas from them every day and find them really inspiring[2-5-6-7 for me in this one].I was playing along while you were playing today and it might be cool to have a 3-4 minute video of you just playing for us to play along with you at some different tempos sometimes.

@drumqtips 2 года назад

That’s a great idea Chuck! I’ll keep that in mind. Glad you’re finding the lessons helpful.

Lots of great points - thank you for mentioning posture - slouching, or sitting too stiff and restricted - only one of my teachers over the years ever talked about that- The great Gary Chester. It was a central part of his teaching concept! It helped me a LOT over the years. Peace & best-GREG BURROWS

@richp4449 2 года назад

Quincy, this is great stuff, thank you. I play mostly rock and blues but, I hope, a lot of what I play is influenced by a jazz feel. And I’ll practice just playing jazz to tunes like Take Five and the like…they feel just awesome. Anyway, thank you for your lessons. Please keep it up.

@drumqtips 2 года назад

Awesome Rich! Thanks for always watching the lessons. I'm glad you find them helpful, even as a rock and blues player. Cheers!

@JoelCarbonellGonell 2 года назад

Wow! That's an amazing synthesis of a lot of stuff I learnt from you! I have to say that I'm a lot better drummer thanks to all your tips. Recently I noticed that my 2 and 4 hi hat beats were'nt really with my ride cymbal (they were a little behind) so I fixed that with awareness (like Dan Weiss says...). Fun fact: In French, Spanish and Catalan (my main languages) Strong and Loud are the same word 😂. THANK YOU, as always!

@peppertennis 2 года назад

@hifiveshandshakes2231 3 месяца назад

I'm thrilled I found your channel! I've been playing the drums for over 25 years and have a music degree. I've mainly been a rock drummer but I love jazz. I worked with Syncopation, the art of Bop Drumming and some other "jazz" books with a few different teachers and, extensively on my own. I learned more about jazz comping from this video than I have with all those teachers combined. Where were you 20 years ago? Haha! Thank you for laying it out so simply. Great channel and great playing!

@drumqtips 3 месяца назад

I am thrilled you found my channel too. And I am even more thrilled that you found value in this lesson. Sorry I couldn’t be there 20 years ago when you were looking for me :-)

What a great lesson on Jazz 101 I’ve made some of the mistakes demonstrated here and now know how to correct them enough to sound half way legit. I just celebrated 50 years of drumming. Their would be no Rock without the Roll.

@alansmith7857 2 года назад

In all my years on the road and with my students, your tenth point is the one I had to address the most.Playing with intent, purpose, and soul can overcome a lot of deficiencies in anyone's playing.I always loved hearing the Detroit guys talk about playing with fire when I lived there.Also, you might have a point of contention talking with some New Orleans cats about not moving too much when you play.{Just kidding,or maybe not]Always the best lessons,Quincy,thanks.

@drumqtips 2 года назад

You're spot on everything you said Alan. And yeah, the New Orleans cats move a lot, but they're grooving so hard and they're body is so much a part of what they are playing that it doesn't get in the way. In fact, it probably adds to the groove:) Thanks for sharing Alan!

@danf8172 2 года назад

I’m definitely guilty of slouching and playing too passively.. good things to keep in mind! I think this is what my teacher was trying to get at when he was telling me to “dig in more.”

@mikeanscombe9883 2 года назад

Certainly guilty of some of these misdemeanours! Not any more, hopefully… Straight from the heart to the heart - thank you…yet again!😎

@drumqtips 2 года назад

Definitely don't want you to get arrested for any of these violations Mike! I got you brother:)

@popeyesailor9571 4 месяца назад

The inventer of the drum scoop Rick Odello told me if you can control your quiet playing when you use the power it is easier. I was always a fan of the laying back for a while and just doing the pccasional Paaaaah with snare and cymbal of some sort. mom was a jazz nut who ran away from home her last year of HS to live in SF and hang out in front of the black Hawk I believe it was to hear Dave Brubeck etc. without being able to go in so I was exposed to a lot of jazz. Errol Garner she said was the best composer.My first concert was Buddy Rich Monty Alexander trio and Aierto at the age of 8 at the Concord Jazz Festival 1970

@drumqtips 4 месяца назад

That’s awesome! Your mom sounds like a real cool cat😎

@210caulfield Год назад

Although I've been playing for 60 years I enjoyed your video and it was a great reminder of things to avoid. I've made all those errors in the past (I played '4 on the floor' on 'A Night in Tunisia' with a student big band that went out on the BBC in 1965!! lol. Thank you. I will check other videos.

@drumqtips Год назад

Right on Vince!
