    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!

    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.

    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.

    musically,and being musically sensitive of the
    other members of the band,and work as a unit,
    and expound on various styles and techniques.

  • @joeyollie123
    @joeyollie123 2 года назад +3

    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

    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 😁

    My instructor is just now introducing me to jazz. I am a 68 year old drum student. The entirety of my jazz knowledge is that I can name on jazz song....Take 5. Honestly, I never understood or got into jazz and playing it is completely out of my comfort zone. In the month that I have been learning I have done each and every mistake you've pointed out in this video. I will be using your fixes in conjunction with my formal lessons to, hopefully, become a much better all around drummer.

    • @drumqtips

    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
      @drumqtips  6 месяцев 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 :-)

    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.

    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

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

  • @alansmith7857
    @alansmith7857 2 года назад +1

    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
      @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!

    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.

    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 😂.

    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

    Hi Quincy....Great lessons! Great playing and examples!....I have dabbled with a little jazz...I would sometimes attend jazz jams...one thing (which I really thought you were gonna mention) was one of the first things the house band drummers or rhythm section players would tell me is not only keeping time with the ride....(while feathering the kick)....is making the high hat beats heard....even though you did mention keeping the 2&4 on the hat...what I remember is being told the h-hat..needs to be more prominent....so the other players could hear it clearly...would be Great to hear your feeling on that....t.y. Sir!!

    Hi, I am just wondering if you can record a video of how to actually comp better by using some books or by specific drummers. Thank you.

      Hey my man. Have a look at my play alongs in my digital download store: qsdigitaldownloads.sellfy.store/. I think you'll find something good there. All the best to you and much respect to you for your passion for drumming. And yes, NYC has waaaay too many bad MFers:) lol

    Great stuff, been doing all of these ever since I've started learning just cause it made sense, mimicking what I listen from my references!

    best thing I was told was the ride cymbals is "walk the dog"... I was hitting with a single and double and it sounded like " walk da-dog". slowing down and really pronouncing the rhythm correctly helped me get better.

    Could you please do a video on comping with the left hand? I'm trying to teach myself bop drumming and I feel completely clueless about what my left hand should be doing.
