Amen QD, my favorite Bop Jazz drummer ever, Philly !!!

[@drumqtips]

Agreed. He’s the greatest!

Thanks for this Quincy, this is like gold.

[@drumqtips]

My pleasure!

[@johnrobinson8323]

Awesome lesson Mr. Jones! I had the great pleasure of watching Kenny Washington play with Joe Henderson and Johnny Griffin dual tenor sax players st The Blackstone in Chicago many years ago. It was definitely one of the great memorable moments in my life! Thanks for these awesome lessons and keeping Be Bop alive! 🥁❤️

[@drumqtips]

That’s amazing that you got to see him with those two legends of the music. I’m sure it was an amazing show. Thanks for stopping by and sharing with us, Johnny!

[@BONHAMOLOGY]

Enjoyed this, Q. Fundamental Philly! 👍🏼♥️

[@alexanderjdivic4784]

In the spirit of Halloween "Blues for Dracula", but "Milestones" probably has some of the best drumming in recorded music, ever.

[@drumqtips]

No doubt Alex!!!

Plus "Kelly at Midnight"

Vi tocar a Quincy Davis hace 2 semanas en el Smalls de NY. Tuve el privilegio de quedar sentado al lado de él. Un verdadero maestro. Y muy empático con los que estábamos cerca. Nos conversó y gentilmente se sacó fotos con quien quiso una vez terminado el show con su trío. Gran músico y gran persona!!!

[@jeffreywegener8841]

Quincy your lessons are great. I bet your students at UNT love you. The licks and fills and ride patterns are great. But equal to this is your easy going demeanor and humor. Keep up the great work for us. BTW I was I visiting professor in the business school at UNT in the early 1990s. I wanted to go hear the lab bands but they frowned on that then. Cheers.

[@jamiewilliams8452]

The drum solo at the end of “locomotion” is some of the best recorded drumming I’ve ever heard.

[@drumqtips]

Agreed Jamie!

[@waynebanks897]

My favorite PJJ solo is his trading 4s with Miles on Blues #2. If I'm understanding he had recently been let go by Miles, replaced by Jimmy Cobb and happened to be at the studio that day and sat in on Jimmy's drums and wanted to make a statement. You could hear him letting Miles know what he's going to be missing and plays some of the hippest sh*t you will ever hear.

[@JoelCarbonellGonell]

Hello Q! Amazing video as always! I have been busy and I have a lot to catch up! I remember you talked about the 4 stroke ruff and KW showing you that hand combination on one of your group lessons! Amazing and really useful knowledge! Thanks as always, you are a big inspiration!

Always love your lessons! Does your book give references for the records/tracks where you can hear the phrases in context?

[@drumqtips]

No it doesn’t unfortunately.

[@fabiodisanto9587]

🔥🔥🔥👊🏿

[@lancephilip676]

Great Video Quincy!! Thank you so much. Do you ever use these sticking's for the 9's RLLRRL RRL or RLLRLR RLL..? Also..regarding the 4 stroke ruff...do you think Philly Joe ever uses RRLR in some situations since it's the same sticking as the Drag Tap lick?

[@drumqtips]

I never use that 9 stroke sticking. Joe probably used that sticking for the ruff sometimes. Thanks Lance.

[@BpatzOfficial]

Hi Quincy! great video thanks! I was wondering if you could tell me on which tune could I hear Philly Joe play that 4 stroke ruff thing? I definitely heard him play it before but can't remember on which recording. It would be great to include little audio clips of the masters themselves! :) Thank you so much

[@drumqtips]

Check out his soloing throughout Kelly at Midnight or Miles Davis’ Workin’. I can’t include recordings on YT for copyright reasons. Have fun!

[@dikbeats2720]

Still watching this damn lesson! Seen it so many times. Very inspiring.. although when you've seen it 18 times it's annoying when usay about the b book and page number! Lol no offence! You're a brilliant teacher, man

[@TSTatum]

An awesome lesson loved it. Plus where can I buy the t shirt. Thanks

[@drumqtips]

I got the t shirt from a student from China. He got it there unfortunately.

[@markwhitaker6485]

Always enjoy your instruction. Please excuse me if this question has been asked already : 6 stroke roll/Paradiddle diddle - is there a difference ?

[@drumqtips]

RllrrL (6 stroke) vs Rlrrll (paradiddle-diddle)

[@markwhitaker6485]

@@drumqtips Wow ! Clear & concise, thank you very much ! 👍🥁

[@richiegarcia4]

Tough one, but I'll go with Miles' Workin', because I love solos in Ahmad's Blues.

[@drumqtips]

That’s a classic because it’s so damn good!

[@Javi7Tron]

The 4-stroke ruff "rllR" that Philly played is very useful if I want a pronounced accent on the downbeat, making it much easier (I accent with my fingers using the clinching technique, which is by no means something for beginners). In the solo for the song 'Pot Luck,' does Philly play the 4-stroke ruffs like this or in the standard way? This sticking for the 4-stroke ruff appears in George Lawrence Stone's book, "Accents and Rebounds" page 21, exercise 5. However, the book was published in 1961, and Wynton Kelly's album 'Kelly At Midnite' is from 1960. Did Philly know about this before, or did he take it from the book (Philly didn't use this book in his lessons) What do you think?

[@drumqtips]

Could have been his own sticking that he figured out or maybe a rough draft of Accents and Rebounds was circulating before it was published.

[@user-kb9zd2nh7u]

Mine is "Art pepper meets the rythm section" !

[@drumqtips]

LOVE THAT ONE!!

[@SimonLopezPsymon]

One of my favorite too !

[@benedict3178]

My signature stick. Check the description box.

[@UFO_computers]

Revelation, no joke

[@drumqtips]

👊🏾

[@bobabooyee8771]

Lick #1, 1:45 “I’ll play the 6 stroke roll RLLRRLR”….isn’t that 7!?

[@drumqtips]

Not sure what you’re asking. Lick 1 is not a 6 stroke roll.

[@bobabooyee8771]

When you play the 6 stroke roll at 1:45, it’s 7 strokes. Look at it RLLRRLR=7

[@bobabooyee8771]

At 2:00 with dynamics RllrrLR=7 notes

[@bobabooyee8771]

You’re 6 stroke roll has 7 notes😅

[@drumqtips]

My hands can’t count🤣

[@dikbeats2720]

Q, this has to be my favourite lesson of yours so far. I've watched it several times.. Can I ask if you think that stick tap thing (lick #4) can be done in match grip?! I can't do traditional grip.. wrist injury long time ago plus self taught in match grip.. I can't get the whip or power with with traditional, but would love to of... I can't make sense of the stick tap thing with match grip.. perhaps it's not to be.. loving these lessons.. the 6 to 9stroke thing is my favourite to work on. But my left wrist injury knows it too. Annoyingly

[@drumqtips]

You can absolutely play #4 using match. Just gotta lift your arm up a lot to replicate the natural angle that traditional grip gets. Glad you enjoyed this lesson so much!
