That's smokin', thanks for sharing. I met Max in Toronto in the late '80s when I was a teenager. Had a nice long conversation with him. You've motivated me to practice hard-and smart!

[@jevosman4393]

What a blessing it is to have your knowledge, insight and resources on youtube!

[@drumqtips]

My pleasure my man! Glad you’re enjoying the lessons.

[@tdrum21]

Amen 🙏🎶🥁

[@bad_muffin1287]

hello quincy. gotta say you just might be the best bepop youtuber on here. love getting these licks and applying them. another great one quincy!

[@drumqtips]

I appreciate that very much!

[@nickfili9409]

Q!!! In my humble opinion, you have created what I think is HANDS DOWN the most useful KZbin channel ever for drummers who love bop! Great stuff, sir!

[@fepatton]

Quincy, no drum teacher makes me want to drop what I'm doing and run down to my drum set the way you do. Thank you for the inspiration! Slightly related story: I took a Jazz History course once (after I had given up on being a music major), and in a mid-term paper I transcribed Max's neat 4-bar fill from "Move" as an example of "theme and variation" on the drums. The professor loved it and I ended up helping him with a bit of research for a paper he was doing on Baby Dodds!

[@drumqtips]

Great story and I'm so glad that my lessons have that effect on you my man:) Now get in the shed!! lol

[@tomcarr4630]

Once again, you make the material extremely understandable and feel like learning it is attainable. A true gift you have!

[@clarencepenn]

Yeah “Q” I love this, thank you for putting in the work, your amazing! I appreciate you.

[@drumqtips]

[@joeparaddle]

Max Roach Phrases Are So Cool, But The Way You Improvise Those Phrases Into Your Solos Are Sooooo Tasty 👋👋👋

[@drumqtips]

I appreciate that Joe!

[@carrerlluna66]

Hey Supa Q from Ned in Spain Again. Wowee ! These are some classic Max moves and sounds, so well laid out and played by you. You make these and the Philly Joe riffs swing so sweetly and demonstrate how they transform depending on your speed and placement. I agree too that getting a handle on the 6 stroke roll is essential . Thanks again again and again. Keep cool and stay well.

[@drumqtips]

Always good to hear from you Nutty! Those cats were genius and were just scratching the surface but at least a little Max and Philly Joe can go a long ways! Btw staying cool in Texas at this time the year ain’t easy but I’ll do my best:)

[@markielinhart]

Great stuff MrQ, thanks again👏👏👏🇦🇺

[@drumqtips]

Glad you enjoyed it Markie Mark!

[@samstevens2108]

Thank you so much for giving these phrases out! If you don’t know, I have to play in the style of Max Roach for my TMEA All-State Jazz Audition! That’s because we have to play Stockton Helbing’s “The Etude Also Waltzes”, maybe you can get him up on a video again :) lol!

[@drumqtips]

This lesson is perfect for you then Sam. Definitely make sure to add some of these phrases to any solo you have. Good luck!

[@carlosfretes9050]

Awesome Quincy! Thank you! 😅

Quincy - great! Love these. Also love your bd sound. Question - do you use a wood beater? Or hard felt? Or ?

[@drumqtips]

Glad you enjoyed it and like my bass drum sound! I use a normal felt bd beater.

[@kylebooks7575]

I’ve been wanting to get a pair of your signatures and haven’t been able to find any. Are they still being produced? need some!

[@drumqtips]

They should be coming in in the next couple of weeks, so keep an eye out on my website for them.

[@arfansthename]

Verbatimly is your big word for today.

[@drumqtips]

[@mrlemurplays952]

What’s ur snare drum in this vid????

[@christianwagenseil9621]

Hi Quincy, I have just finished a transcription of a Bill Stuart solo from the Modern Drummer Festival 2008. Would you mind taking a look at it, since some of that stuff is hard to notate and I‘d like to get some feedback on that. Best, Christian from Germany

[@drumqtips]

Hi Christian. Congrats on finishing the transcription! I'd be happy to have a look at it during a Zoom lesson. There's a link to sign up for one in the description box just below the video. Cheers!

[@rachelwhite438]

I might need a little bit more than a KZbin video to know these phrases 😂

[@drumqtips]

Well...somehow that doesn't surprise me Rachel:)
