@@hombreenojadoModern humans, with all they could ever want on the internet, are spending too much time watching others achieve. That has to make them hate themselves for not rising to the challenge the rest of rise to and they let it out online, to strangers, because their offline friends can’t stand listening to their garbage. Same is occurring in many American students today, as they forego reading and practicing, and opt for the “easy” path of watching others who’ve put the time in. After watching around 30 minutes of RUclips videos, they still know nothing.
I became disabled by an accident in 2010 and then a stroke in 16 I gave up drums and left my drums to my pit instructor son. they talked me back into playing on my old sonor teardrops. My hands are crippled but I can play with my thumb and index and partial of my second and only traditional on my left. never learned to read but vocal interp. I was the kid that forced BD to start a corps for kids under 10. Also a groin pull makes my timing miss sometimes and inconsisten. I also play blues guitar but now can play only slide. do not give up. your videos really inspire me a lot. I am 61 and am glad I started playing agin.
Just off the top of my head? Philly Joe Jones, Jeff Hamilton, Shelly Manne, Tony Williams, Art Blakey, Billy Higgins, Joe Morello, Donald Bailey, Grady Tate, Billy Cobham, Jack DeJohnette...and Quincy Davis, of course! You (like the others I mentioned) are a true inspiration. 🙏
Those are all amazing influences...except for the one with the initials QD. Please remove him from your list immediately, or risk the local authorities coming to your home and interrogating your for your poor judgement😂😂
Thanks for the kind words David my man👊🏾. And you're right! That damn 'Are you ready?' bit is som unnecessary and annoying...but it's sooooo fun EVERY TIME🤣🤣🤣.
Quincy, I'm fairly new to jazz even though I've been playing for decades. I have found your channel so incredibly helpful. It's brilliant. I can't believe you have haters out there!! It also blows my mind that you take the time to respond to all the comments! Thanks so much for what you do! Huge respect!! ❤
Hey Quincy from Ned in Spain. We all missed you but c'mon man, when you need a break for heaven's sake take one. You always come back with a bang anyway so it was worth the wait. This will be my work out for this month and onwards.
Hi Quincy, here is Felix Again from Argentina, I m practicing the exercises you put in your page called Diddle Displacement Exercises V.2, really interesting and a little dificult if you try to do them the four lines dont stoping line by line!! great saturday for you and thanks again!
I love your videos. They are so practical and helpful. Your advice on assimilation of the exercises is awesome. #11 the Philly Joe language sounded like you were speaking a language rather than reading the exercise! Beautiful. Sending love to Denton from H town!
Great coincidence! I am right know trying to figure out a guide for jazz solo vocabulary for my students without overloading them with unnecessary information and sheet music that would only take away their creativity. I guess you just have to put in the work yourself to really understand and develop an own language. Perfect input from you on this. Thanks.
I've been playing for 25+ years so I'm very precise on which content I stick with on RUclips. I just came across you this morning and watched a handful of videos already. I feel you and your positive vibe and your immense knowledge immediately. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos. It's appreciated!!
if im swinging mid tempo, im channeling my frankie dunlop, elvin, bill stewart, and peter erskine. if its up tempo its roy and tony. if im soloing its mostly everyone but the last few months roy, frankie and philly joe influence me a lot.
Quincy, why would anyone send you hate comments ? Maybe they’re jealous because they can’t do some of things that you teach on RUclips. Some people in this world are just so ridiculous that it’s laughable. Personally I think that you’re a great player and a great teacher, I’ve been playing drums for years and still learn a lot watching you. I guess the process of learning never really ends does it. Chuck.
hey, Quincy! appreciate your videos and tips so so much! I wondered if you could make a video talking specifically about Jack DeJohnette's phrasing and soloing and how you never know what he's about to play. I found his way of playing one of the most modern ones there is and hardest ones to transcribe, too! cheers!
How can anyone not like Quincy!!!! I'm a rock drummer trying to expand my horizons. Quincy has been a tremendous help in my trying to understand and play with a jazz feel. It's totally different than rock drumming
Thanks for another great lesson! “ Listen”- the shortlist jazz poem ever written ! Listen, Imitate, Assimilate and Inovate ; profound advice . I’m sure John Hendricks would agree ! Thank You !
Thanks for the lessons Quincy. I’m a guitar and piano teacher (and drummer) starting teaching on YT this year and I draw a lot of inspiration from your video style. We gotta spread the good news! Keep doing that, I’m tuning every week.
I love your teaching style! My biggest jazz influence is 100% Art Blakey. He's the reason i became interested in jazz in the first place after i heard Moanin'
Great lesson as always Quincy! I was indeed not behind my kit but working out at the gym! Getting along the objectives for 2024! I managed (somehow) to read what your FT said and there are some of my drummer influences: Max Roach, Art Taylor, Ed Thigpen, Jeff "Tain" Watts, Bill Stewart, Kenny Washington, Joe Farnsworth, Tony Williams, Jimmy Cobb, Roy Haynes, Louis Hayes, Al Foster, Elvin Jones, Justin Faulkner, Clarence Penn, Quincy Davis... Have a great week!!!
Those are all amazing influences...except for the one with the initials QD. Please remove him from your list immediately, or risk the local authorities coming to your home and interrogating your for your poor judgement😂😂. Merci my man Joel!
Thanks Professor. I got your comping lesson off your site, and I'm working through that. I think it's great. I can play all the Tedd Reed stuff, but your stuff is different, and I really like it. I'm going to get this one too.
Hey Q's floor tom, my biggest influences are Elvin Jones, Max Roach, Marcus Gilmore, Jack Dejohnette & yourself to name a few - also Andy Gander (Australian drummer you may/may not have heard, might be worth a check out) thanks for your ace content as per usual.
You're my absolute favorite jazz professor ever ❤🥁🔥 more school stuff please 🙏🥁 and Kenny Clarke is the absolute first, then Elvin, then Tony and after those Philly Joe and Alan Dawson are my ultimate heroes. But your approach reminds me totally of those two. You've got that snappy thing from Philly but with a very orderly sticking like Alan 🥁 so you're one of my heroes from the now 🥁 thank you for all the inspiration 🙏 and you like to 'klook-mop' a lot which i luv the most ❤🥁
I saw the hidden message on your video haha! my influences : Elvin Jones, Steve Gadd, Corey Fonville, Brian Blade, Yussef Dayes, Kendrick Scott, Marcus Gilmore, Mark Giuliana to name a few
" Listen, Imitate, Assimilate and Inovate...it's tried and true and if you do it , you''ll be sounding like you"... thats a tshirt right there bro 😄.. well a big tshirt lol .. great stuff as always!
Floor tom quincy : Gene Krupa for me. When I was a kid my uncle always called me Gene Krupa when he heard me playing. I didn't know who Gene was. I knew who Buddy rich was. Then my uncle made me watch gene's movie and his solos sounded like mine. More like the other way around 😂. His solos were danceable, less technical than buddy. That's the style that came naturally to me. As for the modern era Quincy Davis is pretty good. (You should check him out) . Greyson nekrutman is pretty good too.
Actually I do eat breakfast right now, watchinh the video! (lol) And as your floor tom asked, here is my answer (tough question, because there are so many influences but; Billy Higgins, Art Blakey, Kenny Clarke.
Great lesson and approach! I've never been one to practice and learn entire drum solos of the masters. I've always stolen bits and pieces, phrases, etc and tried to turn them into my own which is kind of what you're discussing here. Am I missing out on learning whole solos?
I think you should try to learn a couple extended solos as well. You learn more about how different great develop solos and learn more about how different drummers work their solos and can see exactly what language and devices they used to do it.
Honestly transcription gotta be the last step for me if at all. Hear, sing, play, then write. Then when it comes to getting this stuff into my actual playing. Forget, rediscover, recontextualize. Also billy boy and blue n boogie, my favourites to steal from rn
Sooo good an useful!!... A question Quincy, there are some folks on RUclips talking about coasting as a technique or strategy to solo. How could that be used in a jazz context? Thx
@@drumqtips Thx Quincy for your reply... well, this guy explains it ruclips.net/video/ZVGNmAexIl4/видео.html&pp=ygUUaG93IHRvIHNvbG8gb24gZHJ1bXM%3D what do you think?
I am getting new cymbals and I am focusing on a solid main ride that is jazzy, good articulation, crashes well, and is multi purpose. Do you have any recommendations?
If you're interested in checking out my E-Book, here's the link: qsdigitaldownloads.sellfy.store/.
Thanks very much Quincy, will definitely check this out ❤️
How are there people out there that hate on this cat? Dude is nothing but positivity.
Envy? In my experience, most of the people who post garbage either don't gig, aren't in a band, or don't play at all.

I just watched this lesson. Now I am going to Meditate on what I have learned.. Thankyou!!
Right on David! Woosaa brother, whoosah!
I like listening to everybody, but Joe Morello, Brian Blade, Elvin Jones, Art Blakey, Max Roach, John Riley and Dave Weckl are prolly my favorite
Great influences!
Bravo from France Quincy !! Lov ur work
Thank you so much Nicola!
What I do sometimes is drop a track in garage band and loop whatever part I’m trying to learn or transcribe. You can slow down the tempo easily too.
Making good use of technology. Nice!

Love that list! And btw, my middle name is Gerard:)

How can anyone not like Quincy!!!! I'm a rock drummer trying to expand my horizons. Quincy has been a tremendous help in my trying to understand and play with a jazz feel. It's totally different than rock drumming
Hope you're playing with traditional grip to truly get that, "Jazz Feel".
Yes. I use traditional grip, and it does give me a different feel.@@muffinman4353
So glad my lessons have been so helpful Markie!
I’m on a train heading to studio watching your lesson video. The most motivation, educational channel 🔥 always appreciate your afford
Hope you had a great shed yesterday!
Thanks for another great lesson! “ Listen”- the shortlist jazz poem ever written !
Listen, Imitate, Assimilate and Inovate ; profound advice .
I’m sure John Hendricks would agree !
Thank You !
Right on my man👊🏾. And Jon Hendricks is my main man!!! First time his name was ever dropped on my channel. Congrats:)
I drop everything when a new Professor Q video hits the tube! Oh, and that was a rip roarin' "LET'S GO"...
ROOOOOOOARRRRRR!! Thanks as always brother👊🏾
Another really great lesson- thanks - so valuable in the traditional way one learns a craft-
Glad you enjoyed it Davey!
Teacher of mine told be to sing the rhythms before playing. Helps a lot
You had a great teacher!
Thanks for the lessons Quincy. I’m a guitar and piano teacher (and drummer) starting teaching on YT this year and I draw a lot of inspiration from your video style. We gotta spread the good news! Keep doing that, I’m tuning every week.
Right on Chris . I’ll keep them coming for sure my man!
I love your teaching style! My biggest jazz influence is 100% Art Blakey. He's the reason i became interested in jazz in the first place after i heard Moanin'
Buhaina is the man!! Thanks for the kind words about my teaching.
Love the way he brushes negativity off with a smile and spectacular drumming, great stuff Quincy
Smile at your haters and they might end up like themselves a little more:)
I think we folks are hating, they’re hating themselves and that’s the saddest part.
Thanks, Q for all that you do!
Agreed! Thanks my man.
My biggest drumming influence is Billy Higgins, piano is Hazel Scott.
Not a lot of drummers site Higgins as their influence. Love HIGGINS!!!
I just listened to you, Q. Now I will move on the the "ates". Thanks again!
Right on my man Scottie! Good luck on those "ates":)
Great lesson as always Quincy!
