How can anyone be a hater? Quincy a Dictionary, and Roget's Thesaurus, 100% vital information I'm doing things I thought I could never do. All lessons are eye-opening and awesome!

[@drumqtips]

Thank you🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@mikey-mike8301]

Quincy, you're a bad ass and thank you SO MUCH for keeping the real Jazz lessons coming. BTW - shade on all the Quincy haters!!!!

[@drumqtips]

Thanks Mikey! You’re too kind and damn the haters:)

[@tdrum21]

Quincy is the best. His realness, positive spirit, consistent deep thorough content. So much depth in his knowledge. Thank you Quincy. So appreciated here 🙏🎶

[@joewar-booker5485]

Thank you Mr. Davis for another great lesson. It is a privilege to access these videos. Thank you also for that good nature and sympathy. A very cordial greeting and my best wishes for the day to day. My respects sir... 🥁

[@drumqtips]

Thanks my man Joe War💪🏾. Always good to hear from you!

[@garyguthrie1507]

Great lesson as always Quincy. I don't get the haters? You give us nothing but joy through your music and lessons. Just picked up 3&4,should keep me busy for a while! Thanks

[@drumqtips]

I appreciate that Gary! I guess I know I’m doing something right when the haters come out :-)

[@borndrumming1972]

I play regularly in a traveling band around the state of Texas. These lessons have really helped me to throw out a quick "solo" when the leader introduces me. Thank you for all you do!

[@drumqtips]

That’s great to hear! Glad my lessons have helped :-)

[@AlexMPruteanu]

Thank you Quincy for being the great musician and educator that you are. I've learned so much from you in these last few years.

[@drumqtips]

my pleasure, Alex ! I’m so glad you’ve gotten so much for my lessons.

[@Javi7Tron]

Excellent video as always and excellent material. Thank you very much. By the way, in the phrase #5 of Pot Luck, on the second bar , Philly Joe Jones accents the last two notes. I would remove the accents you have placed on the three eighth notes that come after the open ruff 👍👍 Someone once told me that Philly said in an interview that the album he was most proud of, his favorite, was 'Kelly at Midnight" ❤ By the way, there's a guy here in Barcelona who studied with you: Cristian Smith. He's playing very very well 👍

[@drumqtips]

Please say hello to Christian for me! And thanks for sharing your take on that Pot Luck phrase.

[@JacobWutzke]

Love this one -- particularly that you cited where the phrases come from with a time stamp. You got me! Just bought the PDF's. Looking forward to checking them out.

[@drumqtips]

My man Jacob! Glad you liked this one and I know you’ll put the pdf to good use cause you’re already playing your ass off! Cheers👊🏾

[@egekanar4445]

Enlightening! Thanks for this gem of a video Quincy. A great road map for anyone who has a certain control of the partials but having a hard time putting them into authentic musical phrases…

[@drumqtips]

Always my pleasure. I’m so glad it was helpful!

[@howardk4016]

Great video - thanks for posting! And thanks for the "Kelly at Midnight" recommendation!

Goold!! I really should be excommunicated from the jazz community for all these damn freebies🤣. Congrats on the album dude! The singles sound great!

[@carrerlluna66]

YIKES ! From Ned in Spain. This is a new favorite lesson Quincy. Not only tha phrases but how you are interpreting them so they sing. Love it all but as you said number 8 is a nasty sticky sweet beat and combined with 7 even more so. All of them sound so good in whatever combination. I'm ready to pounce on these startin today ! Thanks Quincy !

[@drumqtips]

Have fun “pouncing” nutty Ned:) Cheers from NYC!

Not only that brother. I bought your PDF. can’t wait to dig into it. Thank you for all you do

[@jaime_coca]

Set myself onto buying these as soon as I saw you put the songs AND timestamps on each one. I always hate reading licks when I don't know how they're supposed to sound...

[@drumqtips]

Right on Jaime! Have fun with them:)

[@davidkral7317]

Watching your video's, has taught me how to make music on the drums.

That's awesome to hear! I guess I’m doing my job:)

[@tomcarr4630]

Fun things to work on! Love your comments on sticking and working these till they represent you.

[@drumqtips]

Right on T 🚗! Yeah I figured leaving the sticking out would help everyone personalize the phrases a little bit more and invest in them a little deeper.

[@markravitz1684]

Quincy..... please publish the E books!

[@drumqtips]

I know!!! Working on it. Be patient🙏🏾

[@EverybodyBurts]

You are doing Lord's work! There's always talk about "bebop vocabulary" in many many books, but the explanations and examples behind them are usually more or less half-assed. After years of not learning anything I wised up and bought the Philly Jo Jones Solo book and started extracting, to a different piece of paper, all the ideas that raised my interested, and then proceeded to jam around those. Learning entire drum solos is kinda dumb in my opinion, or at least incredibly difficult :D

[@drumqtips]

You get it! Thanks for appreciating the time this took. Cheers to you my man!

[@knuthagedorn]

This primal scream is just hilarious, thanks for making my day! 😂

[@drumqtips]

Ha! Glad you like it. Not all like it but some love it. It’s a part of my schtick now for better or for worse🤣.

[@knuthagedorn]

@@drumqtips It underlines your positive attitude. Besides all the deepness and wisdom that is obviously conveyed in your videos, you're not taking yourself too seriously. This is very encouraging and for me, that's what a master teacher is all about. Sometimes I miss the slipper cam though ;)

[@user-ch8ku6qe3x]

Good lesson. I have been getting into jazz more, and Ive a question how do you develop a good ear to hear what is being played in songs ?

[@drumqtips]

The more you listen, the more you hear. It would probably be good for you to listen to jazz with someone who has experience and knowledge so that they can point out key elements that maybe you might miss since you’re just getting into it.

[@EverybodyBurts]

Regarding the "Philly Drag", there's mentions of a "reverse half drag" (never heard of such a creature until then) in the Joe Porcaro drum book, and the idea of playing the diddles after the accent would partially explain why I had a hard time hearing the few bits in the Pot Luck -drum trades all these years. And I still do, there's hints of a proto-blushda theres still in hiding on the album, but the stuff you're playing resonates with the druff in the Porcaro book Funnily enough, you mention that idea at the time of 5.20 in the video and the idea is played in the song at the 5.18 mark.

[@EverybodyBurts]

The PJJ Solo Book gives it a "rrll" as a fast triplet, whereas a similar idea is in the Julia -solo, with "rllr". The Philly drag would have been the perfect tool for that bit but I'm hearing, depending on the time of the day, a fourth note there. Oh well, I guess I should stop worrying about it and play whatever. Still gonna buy all of your books, man!

[@drumqtips]

I’ll have to check out the Porcaro book. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this confounding rudiment!

[@yoomat66]

Where is link to e book?

[@drumqtips]

It should be in the description box below the video.

[@thebeatclinic9000]

Hey Quincy. Great stuff! I was wondering how you know when written 1/8ths are straight or swing. Jazzers play both?

[@drumqtips]

Good question. Though the eighth notes will most of the time be written as regular eighth notes, you have to listen to the recordings to listen to how straight or swang the drummer plays them.

[@Johnny_Lydon]

This is a bit unrelated, but I feel like lately I've been struggling to incorporate toms and things into my comping and making my comping more exciting in general (when its needed). Have you made any videos on this subject or have any recommendations that could help me?

[@drumqtips]

I haven’t done a video on this exact subject, but I’ve done a lot of copying videos that I talk about the times a bit. Maybe Won will come down the pike sometime. Just focus on playing good rhythms that feel good and that aren’t overly complex and move those rhythms around. Sometimes when we move to the times, we try to play so differently than we would on the snare drum but it’s not necessary. Hope that helps a bit!

[@lennartvossjazz]
