A great lesson once again Q, You're the best jazz tutor online, always a pleasure to watch and learn from you.
Thanks for your kind words!
Bloody love you Quincy.
This stuff you are putting online, you used to have to drive 45mins - 2hrs and pay $120 (which I didn’t have) to learn a QUARTER of this info off some ‘jazz specialist’ drum teacher.
You are banging this out on RUclips for anybody around the world to have for FREE!! 😳
This is just insane…BUT….Thank you from me for doing what you do….. your delivery, energy, explanations and clear detail is just impeccable. Never stop doing what you do bro 🙏🏽
Much love from Melbourne
I appreciate the love, and the kind words, my man. I enjoy sharing and helping drummers around the world with the little knowledge and skill I have. Cheers, mate!
Your advice to “lift the stick” and “sing the pattern” in particular has helped my ride playing significantly.
Glad to hear that Chucky!
I love your approach of "play what you feel, and no one will be able to play it!" Sometimes I work to play note-for-note, but should rather be working on what I feel the drum part of a song should be. Thank you so much for your excellent playing as well as for your wisdom!
That adjustment in thinking should free you up a bit and allow you to have more fun playing time👍🏾
Great lesson as usual. You and Rob Brown are teaching me so much!
Rob is great! Thanks as always Walt👊🏾
Thank you for your help to young drummers. Your channel is gold for us❤️
My pleasure!
Thank you for the great lessons..... Our game is getting better thanks to you
My pleasure!
The best ride video I’ve seen. Thank you sir from the UK.
Glad you enjoyed it so much Mr. Gary!
A very subtle lesson on four-way in(ter)dependence. These videos have been very helpful. Thank you, Q!
Glad you enjoyed it Jorge. And yes there’s definitely some interdependence that drummers will need for some of this. Thnx
I´m ready !!! HERE WE GOOOO !! 🤣🤣
Let’s gooooo💪🏾
Great stuff, as always. Love your ride lessons🎉
Thanks so much Chucky! Glad you like them cause I enjoy giving them:)
Amazing video !! Thanks man !
Magic MrQ‼️Thank you so much✌️🇦🇺
You bet Markie Mark!
Great idea even if I have been playing a long period , timing is important,lovin this.
Thanks Kenneth. Always good to work on these things👍🏾
Magnifico.⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️
Thank you🙏🏾
Thanks Quincy for more ways to practice the ride cymbal beat . I usually practice the “walk- the- dog” style along with your bass line recording. I can see how the other options will improve my flexibility .
Keep walking the dog, but sometimes skip and run him too:)
Thank you so much for this lesson!
You're very welcome Drake!
Let’s add number 5…listen! I have less experienced drummers tell me that they aren’t able to swing like they want to. I’ll ask them what they’ve been or who’ve they been listening to. Well they aren’t listening to jazz or jazz drummers. That’s a big no no. You’re just not going to get the feel if you’re not listening. Keep up the great work Quincy! FP
Great point Frankie! Listening is the most important way to improve one’s ride feel. I dropped the ball on that one🤣. Consider it official added:)
That's absolutely brilliant. Thanks.
Glad you liked it Joey!
That’s great, you’re a great teacher. Thanks so much !
You're very welcome!
LOTS of great information in this lesson Q, Thanks for sharing!
Thanks as always Spicey!
Great vid, thanks man, really dig your channel!
I appreciate that!
Fantastic... making the complicated simple. It is a privilege to access such valuable advice and practices. Something very grateful on my part, Mr. Davis.
Of course all this, with the best wishes and a very cordial greeting. Thank you ...
Book! Always good hearing from you. Glad you enjoyed this lesson!
Dig the channel. Real nice work. Thanks man
Much appreciated!
Q, another great video! Bravo
I appreciate that!
One more great lesson !🤗👍🏻🙏🏻
I appreciate that very much🙏🏾
Gracias amigo!
Denada my man👊🏾
awesome sauce!
You might even say, SAUCE-SOME🤣🤣. Thank you sir!
Very fine lesson ❤
Thanks Diego!
Fantastic video! Love that you emphasize the bouncy feel as well as the steps leading up to variations in the pattern. I personally used to vary this pattern unintentionally from a lack of coordination which many new drummers do, so emphasizing the consistency of each pattern is a very helpful tip for any new jazz drummers. I personally got to a similar place by playing the ride pattern very consistent over all sorts of comping to make sure that I would only vary the pattern if it sounded better not just to make my job easier
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I am so grateful for the video, it has lots of important lesson which is given free. Thank you sir for making jazz lessons accessible and simplified version
My pleasure Johnny!
very cool
Thank you Mike!
Killer lesson Q 🙌
Thanks Mikey G!
Hey Quincy great to hear back from you. Although ive got a few years on you. Call me Jim not sir. I live in a condo top floor. Had two different sets a Ludwig and my last set was a sonor of course had 21 inch Jazz ride 18 inch crash 19 inch one china and 13 inch hihats or we use to call them sock .Now have to get an electric Roland TD 17 but got different dials one for Buddys songs one for Weckl songs one for Phillips and one foe Blakley.and many more. But like your station.Always play traditional grip.
Right on brother Jimmy! Sounds like you got some sweet gear there sir…friend:)
It's almost criminal that we obtain so much of your drumming wealth for free, Q!
The police will be showing up at your house soon. 🤣🤣
@@drumqtips 😲
I'm one of those mostly self taught drummers who definitely has a style tendency towards jazz.
I've got a jazzy feel and quite a well developed right hand, especially in terms of finger technique and moeller.
However, I don't feel like I can actually play jazz. Not by a mile.
I haven't just been dancing around the quarter note, I've been dancing around jazz itself for decades :)
This is a very helpful video though. I'm sure I've already got some of this down reasonably well, but definitely not all of it.
I know I feel comfortable playing an ever changing ride pattern with the hats, but at the expense of my comping. My independence is lacking there. If it get more elaborate with my left hand, my right hand will automatically get simplified and vice versa. Then again, I'm not sure if that's a bad thing per se. Like you said with the feathering, it's okay to omit things if they're throwing you off. Play what you can.
Thanks, I'll try my hand at this!
Dr. Evil! Thanks for sharing. I’m glad you found this video so helpful!
I came across a drum video teaching uptempo ride cymbal patterns. He said an approach he used was to think quarter note triplets over the each measure & on top of that to diddle any of the three notes in the quarter note triplet. It isn’t a cheat but just another gear to use.. Like the painting on the wall…
Not sure I fully follow but I’m sure it’s effective way to think of the ride👍🏾
Quarter note triplets over a measure, then double each or either of the notes. I should have said “ I” like the painting on your wall which has nothing to do with triplets. The Q note triplet. First note played by itself second note doubled (diddle) third note single. The triplet repeats with first note doubled (diddle) second note single, third note doubled (diddle). It’s a bastardized swing stretched over a measure. Up tempo cheat… Respect to you…
Always love the ride cymbal and comping lessons!
The ride cymbal alone deserves 50 lessons a year. Thanks TC👊🏾
Man. It seems so simple, and yet not until a more experienced drummer points out the simplicity. The 1st quarter note ride with syncopated comping feels so directly related to what I wasn't understanding. I'm a patient player in an ensemble, but have really been struggling with my ride finesse. I feel like I lean on the "Ever-Changing", but the band is losing the quarter note which leads me to lose the quarter note, because I skip over it in practice. Need to get back on it. Good lesson.
Boom👊🏾
These are great tips! It’s all about the quarter note. Thinking about number three, did you ever notice when playing paradiddle-diddles, that the lead hand plays the swing ride pattern?
Oh yes. I should have mentioned that in the video. Oh well! Thanks for bringing it up👍🏾
Right on, good stuff! I think teachers often declare "wrist" or "fingers" without acknowledging the balance. Sometimes boundaries and borders get in the way, heh. The dynamics are so important for the feel and it's another thing we don't hear about so much.
Maybe you've mentioned this and I missed it, but I'm curious what you think about the Bill Stewart 'click' sound people talk about? In interviews he says his grip and a chamber he makes in his hand let the stick resonate, making that sound. I've been having a lot of fun experimenting with it lately. Your ride always sounds great!
Thanks for checking out the video Jasper! Love Bill Stewart’s ride sound and click. But I love his feel more than anything. Check out my interview with him if you haven’t yet. He talks about his ride technique a bit👍🏾
@@drumqtips Nice! I'm still catching up with you on here, figured you guys had crossed paths. Thanks man, I'm looking forward to that.
I'm drilling on it...👍
You got this!
please, make a tutorial about hihat foot technique, to get this crispy sound.
I’ve done a lesson on hi hat technique. It should help you.
Excellent as usual, thank you! Also saw you snuck into Smalls again- is that band a North Texas State Alumni group?
Thanks david. That was a New York-based group who I was playing at Smalls with actually.
So there is no pattern that you are playing on the fourth demo, it’s all improvisation? Bty, love the lesson and thank you for sharing your ability
That is correct. Kinda like MY signature. What’s YOUR signature?
Truthfully I am a hack. I am able to read music and learn material but I am inspired by the people who blazed the trail. I started working on jazz a couple of years ago and it has been a challenging endeavor. But I have noticed that my approach to the drums is different. I appreciate your inquiry my friend.
Yes sir; it’s called the push pull method
Ha! I don’t know but yeah that’s it.
