If you aren't a Drummer, you likely won't appreciate how flawless her Double-stroke roll was. That was incredibly tight, then she starts adding in the accents and it was still clean.
As soon as I saw Right Right Left Left, I knew Nana was pulling out some big guns. I'm not a drummer by the way. I watched a short clip of drum rudiments by Ian Paice, so I only know of a few techniques drummers use. Paradiddles, or double paradiddles (not sure I'm spelling that right) looks like a true test of the wrists and fingers.
I’ve known Dorothea for years. We worked together at a music store back in the day. We still run into each other at the grocery store quite often. She’s a gem of a human being and a killer drummer.
You act like she’s a special needs person…Who wins a medal just because the try…you’re being condescending and don’t even realize it….how about she just a good drummer and leave it at that instead of giving her some “look at the old person playing drums, that’s so cute”
As a drummer myself, Quest gave her all love. Drummers in the comment section already know. Probably the only community where people aren't squabbling over stupid stuff. We love each other over all skill levels. This was a wholesome communication between two drummers.
I think she changes them to a 5 stroke roll (r r l l R l l r r L) but starts on the first accented Right and then into paradiddle diddles (R L r r l l). But agreed, super dope!
Thank you Nana Dorothea for shattering that glass ceiling of women musicians!!!! You are amazing & I so enjoy your musical prowess!!!! Bless you many times over❤
@@olimpicus There’s nothing “paranoid” in my statement. I was praising her. She’s middle aged and plays the drums, something that women didn’t do MUCH OF for many years. I’m not stupid & the glass ceiling comment was in reference to women having been MOSTLY singers in the past. Ask anyone who grew up during the 1940s until the early 1960s. Managers & music labels/producers were much pickier about sticking to societal norms. Ask Italian Americans about the pressure to change their names or Caucasian musicians whose playing/singing sounded “too black”.
What glass Ceiling? Never heard of Cindy Blackman, Karen Carpenter, Joan Jett, Suzi Quatro, Gail Ann Dorsey, Katie Melua.... off the top of my head.. what are you talking about?
The women I just listed have 100 times more influence than this lady. She's simply playing g the drums (very well) but not creating music. If I were a lady Cindy Blackman of Suzi would be a far bigger influence than this lovely lady grooving on the drums.
I can only speculate but I’m pretty sure Quest Love has the most kind soul. He seems like a genuinely good human who likes to see others around him do well. I just love that guy!
She's the professor of drumming at a pretty prestigious school. She's like super bad ass, watch some of her videos, I think you'd be surprised who is taking it easy on who 😂
This put a smile on my face. Two great musicians, and dude wasn't trying to upstage - and she is simply doing her thing. THAT DOUBLE BEAT SHE DID WAS FLAWLESS !!! AND SHE ISN'T EXACTLY VERY YOUNG PERSON- IT'S GREAT TO SEE SUCH CLEAN FUN BETWEEN MUSICIANS.
I want to see Nana against rocker girl who's personally my favorite drummer at this time... If you all never seen her you should check out her channel #rockergirl
What do you think of it. I quit playing about 20 years ago and I'm thinking about playing again. My last kit was a set of Sonor drums, so I'm a little spoiled. That kit sounds nice, but it's mic'd and eq'd. What's it like in the room?
Dorothea is an absolute monster when it comes to rudimental drumming. Unfortunately non percussionists will not likely understand how what she does is so amazing.
Love how Quest opted for the simplified version of her first rift, he wasn't trying to compete, he just let her shine.
He's cool when it comes to these drum offs bc he doesn't always show off n compete
Noticed that too I'm sure he didn't want to feel like an ass for blowing her out the water lol
What’s a “rift”? You mean “riff”?
riff*
This is such a small thing but man it really shows true class.

It’s actually pretty simple to do. Beginner level
@@jakeramos7399 intermediate.. at her tightness
@@tonydean4277 tight, she’s loose I would think
@@jakeramos7399 do you play drums? not being rude just wondering
I’ve known Dorothea for years. We worked together at a music store back in the day. We still run into each other at the grocery store quite often. She’s a gem of a human being and a killer drummer.
If you see her again, please tell her there is a person in this world who wish to have a grandma who could play drums like that.
She sucks 😂
Please let her know she inspires so many women.
She's so cool❤
Her doubles were super clean and she has a wonderful groove. She killed it.
I wish the late Karen Carpenter was here for something like this! She was also a great drummer!
@@seanswinton6242Co-sign! Karen Carpenter was a smoking drummer, super groovy, with monster chops and to boot, easy on the eyes. 😊✌🏽🇩🇴
This is just Lars Ulrich Vs Grandma 2 Lmao
Yes my 😮good at doing so well and that the USA 🇺🇸 up was u😮
That smile on her face, doing something she loves and brings her happiness, makes her the winner.
Absolutely 💯 percent. ❤

Quest is a classy gentleman (we all know why), and that lady is a badass.
Why would that be?
Because he was sweet to a little old lady when he could have torn her up if he wanted to. That’s the mark of a gentleman.
I'm curious as well
Uk that lady is a legendary drummer🙂
@@nah7386 he let her do her thing and wasn’t trying to compete. his first riff is a much simpler version of hers. he can do much better but he didn’t.

Love the sense of camaraderie ❤
I’m waiting for Superstition by Stevie Wonder to start playing…
Me too 🙋🏼♀️
For real, I was hoping I wasn’t the only one that ad that
So was I!!!
As if no one knew the bass line.
Oh yeah!
I ain't even a drummer but Damn that roll was something else
not even a buzz too just a pure double stroke, that takes crazy skill
She has such good feel and amazing stick control. Very talented. Love Nana Dorothea.
My inspiration of why I started playing drums even though I’m 35 already. Love you Dorothea! 😍
Oh my gosh, thank you. I'm 37 and I really want to, u just inspired me. Thanks 😀
I’m 36 and just started 3 months ago,
Love it
Grandma got some real chops
This is incredible and outstanding....I love the man he just stepped down for her so her to shine he has it more but I love his maturity.
A true gentleman, he was holding back
He knows the gig.
Two wonderful people sharing their talents and respect for each other. Thank you!
She hit him with the “mama dadda open stroke roll freestyle”..
Grandma ain't no joke she can rock it with the best of them😁👍
They double stroke She lays down is Perfection🏆🏆🏆🏆
Her double stroke is very beautiful
She's fire 🔥🔥
She's garbage. Like a amateur drummer.
I've seen 10 year olds with more skill.
Git it! She's so awesome! I want to be like her when I grow up 🙂
@@realmom9288 start practicing
Did anyone else do a round of applause for Nana when she finished her set?
I did one the first round
This is. But. Nana is very well know.
@@morbidmanmusic Yes she can play anything you put in front of her I use to follow her on Instagram
No
@@jasonlarsen5739 What do you mean no.
Damn! Those doubles with accents at the end were super dope!
I think she changes them to a 5 stroke roll (r r l l R l l r r L) but starts on the first accented Right and then into paradiddle diddles (R L r r l l). But agreed, super dope!
I’m glad people are appreciating her drumming instead of all these annoying “aww, good for her” condescending comments…
Awesome 😊 ❤❤ you are amazing
Dorthea is awesome. She used to work at a now defunct music store I would frequent. Amazing drummer, wonderful person!
It is so inspiring to see someone excel in something they truly love. Awesome♥️
Yes!!! Love your comment! Someone using their god given, meticulously developed talents is awesome to witness!
She's awesome I've seen her play in her band several times. She's amazing she puts guys to shame.
That's unfair, many men kick ger ass so bad.
Don't compare her just cause she has an uterus. That's sexist
From one Nana 🥁drummer to another, you rock girl!💕
both of yall are awesome!!!
Jimmy's face when he appears behind her, he's loving it!! She's awesome
She's gifted!!
I need a drummer for my band.Young forever .Love is the key...
No foreal need a drummer for my band. Hit me up granny!
Great job Nana! I hope that I can be that good before trying to figure out how to drum off again my friend Questlove!
That nana will defeat quest everytime
Her doubles stroke roll was perfection. Nana's got the funk. She goes on the one.
World’s coolest gram !! I have always loved watching her videos
Thank you Nana Dorothea for shattering that glass ceiling of women musicians!!!! You are amazing & I so enjoy your musical prowess!!!! Bless you many times over❤
And for older folks.

@@madskillswills I will absolutely 💯 check her videos out. Thanks 😊
A true gentleman
@@madskillswillsQuest is a very very smooth and rhythmic player. One of the best in the business
That is PURE HAPPINESS TO ME, DRUMS 🥁 are the best sound my ears have ever heard.I could hear it all day and love every minute of it.
Her kit sounds amazing
Damn Nana! You killed it, though, I did want to hear Q's response.
She's such a little rocker! Lol and you just can't keep a rocker down! Keep on rocking, Nana Dorothea! 🤘😎🤘
jesus, she went from 0 to 500 with her 2nd part :D
This put a smile on my face.

Mrs. Queen of Rudiments, I've been following Dorothea's work for quite a while now. Skilled musician and teacher, well done!
Awww Quest just followed her groove instead of overplaying, letting her impress the crowd! ❤️
POV: you have a drum set and your grandma says “ooh can I try?”
She was playing long before most of you came about.
She took it to a whole other level 😭
Ikr 😭😭😂
She must have pretty strong 💪🇺🇲 control over hands and arms . I have to believe she's.been playing along time. Nice job!
@@irenemarano8241Ive heard her talk aboit how she's been drumming her entire life.
She is incredibly skilled.
@@TheLovelyMissBeans I didn't know that.
The brother looks so cool grooving on his skins, effortlessly
The mother of every drummer ☺️ her last solo was amazing 🤩
Hermosa talentosa❤
Was waiting for Stevie to start singing Superstition
Im a 'drummer" 64yr. Old being drumming since I was seven " I love this "Beautiful Lady" I would marry her in a minute"😍😊💋😛
Still love her😍😘
Nana got a proposal!!!! Love ❤ is in the air. She has great chops
That's cute
Almost sounds like the groove from Stevie Wonder's Superstition. You go grandma!!!
Right! Now I can't stop singing 'Superstition'. Lol
As soon as I saw her right hand hit twice I knew what was coming. It was flawless. Shows years of dedication and practice.
Congratulations 🎉⭐👋
I want to see Nana against rocker girl who's personally my favorite drummer at this time... If you all never seen her you should check out her channel #rockergirl
No thankyou
Dude, Rocker Girl WORSHIPS Dorothea Taylor. You're kinda VERY late!
I like her "Down With The Sickness" cover video.
Was gonna comment about this. You beat me to it!
She nailed that
A la madre!!!! Me dejo con la boca abierta la señora!!!
😮😮😮😮
Mis respetos!!! Esos redobles estuvieron chingones!!!
I was smiling like a fool through the whole video. Wholesome.
Awesome finally something positive and make u smile instead of all negative stuff all day...
Go Nana! You're great. 👍
I have the kit she’s using. Q-Love all the way!
Thats the midtown set right?
What do you think of it. I quit playing about 20 years ago and I'm thinking about playing again. My last kit was a set of Sonor drums, so I'm a little spoiled. That kit sounds nice, but it's mic'd and eq'd. What's it like in the room?
I wanted to here quest love to answer that last beat she did that was good
Shes having so much fun being amazing...
Dorothea is an absolute monster when it comes to rudimental drumming. Unfortunately non percussionists will not likely understand how what she does is so amazing.
Granny knows how to Rock and Roll 🤘🤘
EPIC!!!
🔥🔥
Simply beautiful.
I love when music can just make everyone happy...
I was expecting superstition to come in
Me too! I wonder if anyone can confirm that's what it is
OMG, me too! I’d swear that was the opening drum solo
Same. I could hear the bass line in my head.
Not impressed… knowing that she can play a lot better than that…
Lmao I know
Grandma what are you doing with my drum kit
Grandma: I'm playing some grooves for you maybe someday you'll learn to play better you suck in drums 😎🧐
Damn Homie. Nana got talent. Nana got game.
Her consistency and effortless playing is so alarmingly
as a drummer, the technique is awesome, wow! go nana!
She is a really good drummer, she got mad chops! I've seen some of her tutorials, and she's quite fantastic.
Awesome! Grandma rocks! Loved how she ‘applauded’ him with her sticks.
That double stroke roll! Also, quest love is a class act for allowing her to steal the show
Love this lady! She's talented and AWESOME 😎!!
Those doubles were CLEAN!
Nana is a legend. Glad ppl are finding out
That tone on "Nana's" kit is fantastic! How fun & great video!
All I can hear is “para diddle diddle time! ☺️” I love her so much. She’s the drum grandma I wish I had
THAT POCKET IS A DAMN CANYON Dorothea can GROOVE🔥🔥
Awesome double strokes.
LOVE IT❤️🙏🎸!
That was KLEEEEEEEN! She was low-key letting Quest know, “there’s more where that came from, sonny!“
Just the right amount of gain those kicks (kick drums). Sound engineer did an excellent job.
Mama's groove was heavy in the beginning.
She's great so is home for letting her shine
Dorothea knows sticking inside and out! Those doubles are so clean. She is a great drummer! All kudos to her.
She's amazing!
That first groove she did was real nice.
She kick started that bass drum, and got the groove running, on that second one.
Holy sh... whatta groove! This lady ROCKS!!! Thanks a lot for sharing!!! Love it!! Cheers DimiZ
She is amazing!❤
Grandma I love you keep playing you sound great
She's a QUEEN 👑
Nana you are something special you go girl👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏽👍🏽🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
I love her! She’s so clean! And you know when Jimmy starts dancing in the background, it’s good! lol
I got goose bumps nana❤Keep hitting the skins lady.Your the coolest.🙏❤️
