    Cool thing about drums is that studying from the past makes you understand how newer guys get that idea from. I'm a big thomas pridgen fan and I've seen him do similar licks like this and it's just cool to see how it transcend from probably this idea onto a whole new level

    Actually it's Earl Palmer not Tony Williams who started that Blusda......."f Tony was he was smart enough to look at other sources besides a typicarl Jazz drummers. Most people know it from John Bonham I don't know where John picked it up but I'm sure some Earl actually so that message is for the young drummers don't just listen to the typical Jazz players to develop your style

  • @neworleansbeats
    @neworleansbeats Месяц назад

    You can play it pretty fast But the third one that is but it's actually another rock and roll idea or rather a New Orleans r&B idea he just borrowed to flavor up the same old Jazz.. like Little Richard ideas the old two beat New Orleans r&B stuff Tony had big ears

    Yeah man!! Swiss trips! Secret weapon definitely! I like to work those in a sixteen note feel. It gives a really syncopated feel. Like a herta or hemiola.uhh, when I was a kid John Bonham was one of my hero's .his solo trick was trips between the hands and foot.swiss trips between the hands and feet is really dramatic but not that difficult! I know this is a jazz based channel but ,,,just saying. Listen to the best and steal everything they got!

    Always great . I’m so outa sync so sorry Maestro Quincy. Saw this ages ago .
    I’ve seen some guys say they’re doing a blushda but no drag ? . But really we could think of it as a left flam drag . But like you demonstrated with the Swiss it’s about the space . Working thru you jazz vocab . Geezz glad I learned the rudiments. Seeing some themes emerging . But being creative too . 🙏. Btw did Ed Soph teach @ NT ? He told Tommy Igoe something like “ accents seperate great drummers from average ones “ 😎. 🙏

    • @drumqtips

      Sometimes the middle diddle is on the beat and sometimes it's off the beat. Practice it both ways.

    Love this Quincy, thanks for the Tony licks! You'd previously asked for other drummers to evaluate in this way. How about Mike Clark? I know he's an excellent post-bop guy but his headhunters style funk is so unique. Open hihats on the one with no BD, etc. Just a thought!

  • @simonalexandercritchley439

  • @jonrwert
    @jonrwert 7 месяцев назад

    I don't think Tony's brilliance and influence can be over-stated, even in 2024. Especially in 2024. I remember when I was learning in high school I was anti-Tony (lol), I couldn't understand most of it and it sounded like a sloppy mess to my under-developed ears. Eventually in college, with the help of friends and colleagues giving recommendations and lots of listening, I had an epiphany. And then it's been a growing appreciation and deeper reverence ever since.
    He really arrived at the right time when jazz was really branching off, the influence of louder rock music energy had started to come to the fore, and drummers like Tony and Elvin were at the right place and time to play truly courageously. That's how I would describe his playing, courageous. So many of his "licks" went on to be commonplace not just in jazz but of course the jazz-fusion of the 70's, all those drummers coming out of that and innovating in the 80's. I hear it very much in the 90's, the drum intro to Smells Like Teen Spirit for example is like a verbatim Tony lick, but slower than he'd usually play it, lol. Even current hip-hop drummers and chops-masters of the Chris Dave era play sextuplet-based ideas integrating odd-patterns with the hands and feet that Tony was doing all the time, especially in the 70's. Many of the most renowned drummers from the 70's and on, but especially the 80's talk about how Tony is the man (Gadd, Vinnie, etc.)
    Could go on forever, but anyway, great video!

    • @jonrwert
      @jonrwert 7 месяцев назад

      Also, your last points are so crucial. Don't just take the word of some educator, as wise as they are. Always go back to the source material. And then at the same time get creative with it, see how you might be inclined to apply it in the ways that seem best to you. It's a long process!

  • @dizzolve

    5:55 one variation I came up for practice years ago was for these Swiss Trips but adding the last 2 beats of each triplet on the kick drum so that for 'each' triplet note, 2 limbs(either 2 hands or a hand and a foot) are playing or flamming where in swiss trips there's only 1 of the triplets that double. When you start moving your hands around it sounds pretty thick. Check it out for a variation -it's fun

  • @giovannigamberini1971
    @giovannigamberini1971 Год назад

    Another Tony classic lick based on triplets is right-kick-right / left-kick-left / right-kick-right / left-kick-left and so on. It's like a 'shuffled daddy-mammy' with the kick in the middle of the triplet. Works great around the toms, very powerful AND melodic. You can check the intro of 'Red Mask' 😉

    Iv'e noticed that the pro drummers who come up with their signature licks also have their drums tuned to their style. Seems like they have a sound and feel in mind that also required the proper tone to sound bold and full. Everyone that learns the licks never has the gutsy sound of the creator.

    Excellent as always Q. I was very fortunate to see Tony perform in Saratoga, NY with Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock and Wynton Marcellus in 1981! It was very early as a (rock) drummer for me so I couldn't appreciate (let alone understand!) what he was doing. Nonetheless, I am so glad I was able to see those legends perform! Did he ever play traditional grip? I remember him playing matched at the show and all the photos I have seen of him are playing matched. Thanks again for all your great work!
