Agree 😎

I got a message from you saying I won something??? It's in my notifications and I assume there's a strong possibility it's a scam

[@awkwarddrummer4244]

A Tim Alexander (primus) drum sound would be amazing! He is a seriously underrated rock drummer!

[@WinstonBartholomewIII]

Yes!

[@squidito2534]

I second that!

[@once_hunting_now_hunted0168]

I agree!

[@jons3808]

Agreed. Herb is amazing and his sound on Sailing the Seas of Cheese is incredible.

[@gusbandicoot]

That's herb...herb the ginseng drummer...3, 4!

[@demonicsweaters]

I love Questlove's drumming. It's always so tasteful and simple, but has a great feel. He never tries to show off or take the spotlight, but always plays what fits the song

[@kjeason6508]

Questlove was the first drummer who’s drum sound I fell in love with

[@EqDior]

The accuracy of this is incredible. You guys are excellent!

[@joguemon]

What a work!!! You really capture de sound of Quest Love, kudos for you hardworking and explaining the details and the steps for learning a have fun to play this. Thanks and good vibes,, salute from Barranquilla, Atlántico/ Colombia 👍👏🤟

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Tanks Jose!

[@gottliebheinrich8413]

i just liked his musicality, obvious joy and appearance in the showband. did not know more about him ... thank you for the video

[@adrianlyord5300]

Questlove is A beast in a lot things especially his talent as Drummer, and producer as well! Good job on re-creating his “ Drum Sound” !!!

[@ArtOfDrumming]

💯

[@ACallander22]

Met Questlove at the Apple store I worked at years ago. Such a nice human being!

[@jooeleng]

Request! Replicate Herbie Hancock's drum sound. From the traditional jazzy cantaloupe island to the dry funky chameleon :)

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Thank for the request!

[@jooeleng]

[@willygarciadrums3521]

The drum sounds came from Tony Williams (Cantaloupe Island) and Harvey Mason (Chameleon). Both legends would deserve their own episode on this channel.

[@drummaman1]

Quest started on the scene with a 26" bass drum and a piccolo (3.5-4" depth by 14") snare. The little drums are more for working/busking in big cities like NYC.

[@johnmatamoros9218]

Knocked another one out of the park, boys. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks for the time and effort y'all put into these.

[@lloydgriffiths1847]

The snare sound on the first track is near identical, so cool.

[@skeletonshorror5184]

Does every drummer have that rug? 😂 Great tones man. ❤️

[@chris_d_r_u_m_s]

Yes!!!! I've been waiting for this one!!!

[@keithmoon3190]

Love it when he goes into amen break during the end of you got me...

[@toninice6876]

The Shure mic in the Center to glue the individual Sound together is a game changer to me. Still learning something new. Thx. Awesome Video.

[@af7119]

Excellent work gents!

[@davidddrums]

I think you should do the Jimi Hendrix drum sound.

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Cool Idea - thanks!

[@CD-gk9ix]

Could barely hear it lol

[@davidddrums]

@@CD-gk9ix take a listen to “Fire” by Jimi Hendrix. The drums are very present.

[@CD-gk9ix]

@@davidddrums correct.. that’s one song Anything else?

[@raincruz6550]

Do vinnie colaiuta’s full drum kit. I love what you did in the seven days snare. Much love from the Philippines. ❤️

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Already on our list ;-)

MORE HIP HOP DRUMING PLEASE!!

Nicely done on questlove . You got me is an amazing drum recording & one of my favorite snare sounds. How about dap king drum sound?

Oooh I was really hoping to see one of his songs off of Voodoo on here. Could we see this in the future?

[@GrimeDiesel]

Chicken grease

[@donovanphillips4973]

Excellent

[@timandtheocean]

cool how the kick is in tune with the bassline in the seed. It like almost as one part

[@jbachman01]

Props to David Ivory and Jon Smeltz, the Roots’ engineers. But, the drums on the original recordings have nothing to do with the small kit ?uestlove now offers. If you look at his current live kit or pictures of them in the studio back then you see that he plays a larger, more standard sized kit.

[@af7119]

Not true.

[@LukeVanGeest]

Love this!

[@eyeamnecyrb4567]

i love the drum sound

[@Adrok23]

I wanted this to go on and on!! More!! Lol 🤣

[@Tateisadrummachine]

I’d love to see you guys do Matt halperns sound from periphery

[@tumimontsho]

Very informative thanks....What about the sounds on Vodoo and Mama's gun....

[@adrianlyord5300]

On Point!!!!

[@fabrizio2738]

thanks

[@hannesdrumss]

I think Luke Holland‘s drum sound has influenced many drummers on the internet and would make for an interesting and informative video!

These videos really do show up Andertons' "Sounds Like" series. They don't even try and get remotely close... The Neil Peart video was just a big drumkit. Everyone complained in the comments.

[@micahalston8974]

Do you know the mic-pre and compressor he use or what did you use to record the drum sounds

[@ShawnxEdge]

I love his snare sound I’m really surprised you were able to get that sound out of such a cheap drum. Why am I playing 800 dollars snares????

[@nicholasrozman6027]

Can you do Bill Ward from black sabbath?

[@gusbandicoot]

Gavin Harrison, Tim Alexander, Danny Carey, Carter Beauford, Adam Deitch..

[@cowsticks_516]

The drum sound on the album Point of Entry by Judas Priest would be great to hear!

[@jaytizzle6652]

Please do a drum feature on Earl Hudson from Bad Brains. Awesome high hat.

[@ChrisWhittenMusic]

Questlove almost never plays rimshots? It sounds to me like he does. And like someone else said, on all these classic tracks he played a standard sized kit with a cranked, often ringy snare. A big part of the sound is the retro recording, with fewer mics and valve style processing (mic/pres and compressors).

[@jackkovar7806]

I remember Quest saying he's always used Vic Firth 7A sticks. It starts with the stick

[@goseeaboutagirl]

he has his signature sticks as well. really long, thin ones I think 17”

[@안형민-q3g]

Nice hat sound.

[@kovalfetterer2218]

Please do Scott Rockenfield next please!

[@csababankus]

Can you guys recreate queensryche - empire and guns n roses use your illusion sound?

[@ClusterOfAtoms77]

Please do Danny Carey and Ray Luzier. I've never see anyone do Ray.

[@benardmensah7688]

👌🏽

[@tdrum21]

How’d you tune reso snare head for this?

[@robertnettleship5467]

Mitch Mitchell would be awesome

[@howtomania4758]

What is the song of the intro ?

[@suffixion_6286]

Maybe one day we'll see the recreation of the famous Alex van halen snare🤔

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Oh I guess only the snare won‘t be enough. Don‘t know when but we will surely add a Van Halen video to this series at some point 👍

[@suffixion_6286]

[@jacksonsylvester9657]

can you plz do billy talent drummer Aaron Solowoniuk plz he is so underrated so is the band

[@GUSCRAWF0RD]

What did they put in the 16” bass?

[@squidito2534]

Do Davd King!!!!!

[@Adrok23]

A little too muted for "you got me" with the kick. For me. But amazing work man.

[@iRideuWatch]

I think the snare is pitched a bit higher on the original Erica Badu song

[@A.ChristopherJohnson]

Questo uses 14" Quick beats hats brother, the FX Crash was right, & he uses a 24" K Light Ride homie

[@TyAllyn_BeastBeats]

Don Henley drum sound please!!!

[@mirkomarkovic3438]

Can't get that sound without tape and vari-mu compression

[@coreyw5981]

Dang we're not gonna do that weird stack used in Jimmy fallon kit?

[@amedeo2225]

where i can find the samples of this drums ?

[@opstack33]

Questlove doesn't play rim shots?

[@CaptainSpyware]

Request: Try to replicate Simon Phillips' drum sound! From Toto over Protocol to The Who, Judas Priest, Derek Sherinian & Michael Schenker… The Man is an absolute legend! (But getting a drum set like his signature kit could be quite a challenge…)

[@romichjordan]

what is that cymbals stand/rack u use for storage ? thanks

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Those are actually just some regular guitar stands on top of some wooden boxes 👍

[@williamperri3437]

I will proudly and confidently say if anybody knows Questlove sound other than Questlove it's me and it is obvious these guys were on point with recreating the sound and using the correct mics and recording technique! From Philly and was introduced to The Roots in 1993 and trust me it was not cool to be a fan of Questlove for many years even after their fourth album came out! Those who know what's up realized that Questlove was phenomenal and had one of the best drum sound ever at that point but almost no one was naming him their favorite drummer and you would almost get laughed at if you brought his name up 😂 luckily that rightfully changed and the guy has a drum set named after him.

[@liamfitzdrums]

What makes you say that?

[@cm9241]

Trying hard to what? Sound as butthurt as possible?

[@richarddunne9802]

I remember hearing Things Fall Apart when it came out and being really surprised that it was a drum kit and not a drum machine. I think over the years his desire to improve as a musician has been hampered by his other obligations; DJing, producing, and loads of TV, but he is kind of the Godfather of the modern hip-hop, breakbeat style drummer. Other players like Chris Dave and Anderson Paak have taken it much further, but before Questlove hip-hop rarely had a live drummer. Obviously, he is drawing a lot from Clyde Stubblefield and James Gadson, but with a very modern twist and very different production. I think his strengths are his minimalism, his arrangement of the grooves, his unbelievable consistency, his willingness to play for the song, and his amazing tone. Not all drummers are flashy but if you love The Roots' music you will know what he brings. If not, it might seem like he's not doing much.

[@SuicideKid1979]

A video about his drumming without even mentioning his otherworldly contribution to Fiona Apple's song "Not About Love" feels wrong.
