[@AlanLopez-cj4lh]

This totally rocks Art Blakey is timeless always great!

[@drumqtips]

Right on Alan!

[@Prodbykidjake]

Man you need to make a sample pack for us producers ASSSAAAAPPPP. Swear I would pay money for that. Fills, one shots, top lines, etc

[@drumqtips]

I’ll keep that in mind, my man.

[@sethcashman1011]

Have been waiting for this one! Mr. Blakey is one of my musical heroes. Got to hang with him at a wedding party when I was a kid and learned all about Art the human being. A beautiful cat.

[@drumqtips]

That’s amazing! Thanks for sharing Seth.

Man, For some reason I wasn’t getting phrase 2…I watched and watched and finally figured it out. I love it , I was getting that snap and I felt like a drummer, check that, I felt like Quincy Jones! Da Bulls!

[@fp387]

Yo man, the second half of phrase 3, is that RLR on FT &HT? Thanks Q!

[@kaelmoffat2198]

Thanks a ton for this! Blakey and Elvin are my favorite drummers from that whole bebop and post-bebop era. I'm working on the Mozambique groove...working on "Night in Tunisia," so I'm in a bit of a Blakey mood right now. Love how you pointed out that Blakey had both power and finesse. I was hit with that when I was working on the "Moanin'" groove. That jazz shuffle is so beautiful and graceful...but so easy to slip out of when ya haven't played it in a while.

[@drumqtips]

Glad to help! Blakey and Elvin or two powerhouses who both had such incredible touch, finesse and musicality. Cheers my man!

[@henrytheworst]

Quincy - I’ve learned so much from you. To have Art Blakey language makes me such a better drummer.

[@drumqtips]

Glad I’ve helped you a bit Henry!

[@markauckland666]

Quincy, you are my favourite educator on here, your lessons always hit the spot and send me to the shed , thank you

[@drumqtips]

Very nice of you🙏🏾

[@A.ChristopherJohnson]

TY Brother !!!

[@drumqtips]

My pleasure, Christopher!

[@Slammintone]

No no no!! I have been ready for phrase two for 15yrs!! lol. One of my favorites. At speed, Arts tempo it sounds like a couple extra beats almost.

[@drumqtips]

Glad I could help break that lick down for you:)

[@DZNTZ]

Mmmm, love some Blakey! Moanin’ is one of my all time favorites. His mojo is passionate, powerful, soulful. Great lesson, man! Thank you

[@roccosamuele9323]

Phrase 2 & 3 🔥 You warned me, & you were right! I still wasn’t ready. Thank you, Q!

[@drumqtips]

🤣🤣🤣

[@JoelCarbonellGonell]

Amazing lesson! That 4 stroke ruff and the one that uses Bill Stewart share a lot! Man, I just love the way you never stop grooving, even when your hands don't do what you want. You are an amazing drummer and teacher! BTW: I would INSTA-BUY a PDF with all your "4 Essential Phrases" series! Thanks as always!

[@joekelner3520]

This feels like some more in depth Blakey! Really great lesson. I love that you didn’t touch on his 2 signature moves; his buzz roll, and his shuffle. This feels more in depth and I really love these phrases. Thanks Q!

[@drumqtips]

Thank ya!

[@catfishrushdie1444]

Check out Dr. Q's earlier Blakey video where he does the Blakey Buzz Roll and the Blakey shuffle. BTW I like your profile pic- I spend a lot of time in Egypt.

[@peacegroove7854]

Thanks Quincy, Art Blakey was a huge inspiration for me! Keep it up!

[@drumqtips]

Right on my man!

[@chuckc7375]

My favorite Blakey album is the one with Horace Silver, Hank Mobley, Doug Watkins, and Donald Byrd. A great album recorded in the 50s . Thanks for the Blakey lesson, he was a driving force and one of the greatest drummers ever.

[@drumqtips]

That album is killer!

[@tomcarr4630]

LOVE IT!!! I still remember the first time I heard an Art Blakey recording. I sat after it was over simply contemplating what I had just heard.

[@drumqtips]

I get it! Blakey is something special…and mind blowing!

[@TSTatum]

Practice hard but practice smart. Great videos sooo good

[@drumqtips]

Wise words from someone we know😉

[@d36williams]

I was watching with close captions and it is fascinating that the language recognition/sound discernment system identified "fast jazz drumming" as in (fast jazz drumming continues)

[@humbledrum1]

Thank you! I'm using all of these at my gig this Friday night 💪🏿💯

[@drumqtips]

Ha! Go for it Kidd💪🏾

[@catfishrushdie1444]

Thanks, Doctor Q! You are officially a Doctor of Bop!😁

[@drumqtips]

Ha! I like the sounds of that:)

[@joewar-booker5485]

It is a great luck for me to be able to receive these lessons...Today in particular, from the hand of a teacher, to learn some of the phrases of the great Art Blakey. Something characteristic of him for me is a mixture of atavistic rhythms and sophistication in perfect combination. It's hypnotic... An honor to belong to this group of music-loving followers... I'm ready!, ...double honor mine for being named here. A cordial greeting to all. Thank you for such good videos, congratulations for the channel. A sincere hug, Mr. Davis. Great ...

[@drumqtips]

You had me at ATAVISTIC bro Joe😍. Had to look that one up! 🤣🤣

[@joewar-booker5485]

@@drumqtips 😄👍🏻 The wild force of a jazz messenger

[@GuillermoGonzalez-vf7wq]

Youre the best, Mr. Davis!!!!!

[@drumqtips]

You’re too kind!

[@ianmortensen1844]

#4 is a great alternative to just playing a standard mambo. I remember he uses that groove during the intro to "Minority." I'll definitely shed that one a bit.

[@markielinhart]

Brilliant lesson again MrQ‼️thank you, I’ll be getting into these✌️🌻

[@drumqtips]

Thanks as always Markie Mark👊🏾

[@marciasmith8522]

Love me some Art Blakey he made it look so effortless and that big smile when he was playing. Going to go play some Moanin now!!

[@drumqtips]

Right on sister Marcia!

[@johnselig8261]

That was a great and easy to understand breakdown of Blakey beats...well done! Now give me more more more!

[@richiegarcia4]

I never get enough of these phrases. I used a few from the book on my gig last weekend.

[@drumqtips]

Awesome Rich!

[@francoisduhamel1648]

Amazing personnality, keep it up, just discovered your channel and I am amazed

[@janivelic2316]

thanks, Mr. Q! 👌

[@garysym1]

Thanks, Quincy! Great tips and demos of Mr. Blakey’s wonderful stylizations!

[@tobiasgebb]

And the MASTER of the most bad-ass press roll! Got a vid on that? :)

[@drumqtips]

I do have a lesson on roll technique actually Tobias. Just time in Quincy Davis and press roll. Glad you enjoyed my man.

[@tobiasgebb]

@@drumqtips yes, I have watched that one and it’s a great video on press rolls. Towards the end of that one you talk about changing the rate of your hands or decreasing the rate. Blakey was the master of that, while he kept that ironclad inner time, and/or against his feet in time. This idea destroys my students and took me a long time to understand. The way Blakey would intensify his roll by moving his hands at a completely different rate than the eighths, triplets or sixteenths that might work at that tempo. (Sorry about the long, winded reply!!)

[@lodovicogianputtani1405]

Marvellous!!!

[@philipmcevoy7206]

Love these phrases they sound class. Thanks for sharing the knowledge Quincy

[@FrankParente]

Thanks for another great lesson and have a great Thanksgiving! FP

[@drumqtips]

The same to you Frank!

[@tdrum21]

Very nice 🔥👌🏽

[@jackbails]

Art Taylor plays something very similar to the first part of phrase #1 in his intro to Countdown off Giant Steps. I know he used to get all kinds of tips from Philly Joe and Kenny Clarke.. I bet he dug Blakey too. Thanks very much for this Q! Cheers from Canada.

[@drumqtips]

Right on JB!

[@robeagar]

Huge thanks for doing the Blakey licks, Q! Big fan of Art and your amazing instruction. You are an excellent teacher.

[@drumqtips]

Thank you Rob!

[@drumqtips]

Thanks Dan!

[@JulianFernandez]

[@KeithBassJr.]

Hey Quincy can you profile Michael Carvin and Elvin Jones in a future vid? Thanks.

[@drumqtips]

They’re definitely on my list brother Bass👊🏾

[@thepsalms--atribute2686]

I loved this lesson! Art Blakey was so good. Another great groove of his is Caravan. Would you include that one in your next Art Blakey lesson? Also, I would love for you to do Lenny White and Harvey Mason, Pleez!

[@drumqtips]

Glad you enjoyed the lesson! I’ll keep those two heavyweights in mind👍🏾

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

Ginger Baker, a Blakey disciple, used the 4 stroke ruff in the same way on the toms

[@drumqtips]

Oh I didn't know that about Ginger! Thanks for sharing.
