These Are Some of My Favorite Drum Licks🥁

In this lesson, I break play and break down some of my favorite drum licks that I use all the time. These drum licks all can be found in my Drum Solo Vocabulary E-Book Vol. 1 & 2. It is imperative to isolate these drum licks, play them SLOWLY and then gradually work them up in speed. It is also very important to play them in different ways, otherwise you will be stuck playing them the same way. Lastly the last step is to put them into context of soloing combining them with other licks and phrases. I do exactly that in this lesson, These Are Some of My Favorite Drum Licks.

Your teaching is grounded in joy & love - that is what makes your lessons so accessible. You can transmit the transcendent. Your work has deeply impacted my own musicality. - thank you!

[@drumqtips]

Wow! Your words are truly appreciated. It means a lot to me knowing I've impacted the drumming and overall musicianship of you and any other viewers so much. Thank you🙏

[@hauntedhose]

So much easier to play (and really have fun) when in an acoustically resonant room ….one can hear the shells sing like they were meant too 👏 boom bap sta blippy do bleps 👍🏼

[@drumqtips]

This is very true. Good point!

Brilliant quincy!

Thanks Christian!

[@thomasnichol4138]

Thanks Q.🙏

[@drumqtips]

My pressure...I mean my pleasure Tommy!

[@FrankParente]

I was getting a bunch of Max Roach and Bill Stewart vibes off of this. Everyone should get all the digital downloads. I’ve found that playing through them a bunch makes the vocabulary start to come through stronger. But don’t forget to listen. FP

[@drumqtips]

Wow! That's a high endorsement Frankie. I'm so glad you've found all my stuff so helpful. And the check's in the mail😉

[@drumqtips]

Thank you "Junker":)

[@mattbayne2012]

Quincy! That used to be a Cop/Doctor show in your country before you were born! I wondered if you could do a video on how to brake up the beat,like ECM style.mostly no backbeat,but wishy washy ,cyms a lot. I just sound like Im doggy paddling instead of a more of a John Christensen way.Can you help? (Green tea in the post)

[@drumqtips]

That’s a great idea for a video. Thanks Matt!

[@bshubo]

i have your 158 Bebop vocabulary phrases - love working form it- are these different?

[@drumqtips]

One of these licks is from Vol. 1 which is what you have. The rest are from Vol. 2. You should get Vol. 2:)

[@harpo9279]

Are you playing your hi hat on 1+2+ etc?

[@drumqtips]

When are you talking about?

[@harpo9279]

On #54@@drumqtips

[@wlswlswlswls]

The cymbal on the left sounds so good! What is it?

[@drumqtips]

It's a 20" Dry Complex II that Paul Francis picked out for me. Then I hammered the crap out of it:)

[@stevenwring7317]

Oh man, I wish I could play like you, utter magic Quincy!, alas, after hearing my shelf back a couple of nights ago I went into deep depression, it was shockingly bad, I mean awful, we are having a could snap at the moment and the garage is cold, I'm using that as an excuse not to face the drum kit!!, my issue... timing, like my 'Dad dancing', no rhythm, well that's what my wife says anyway!!!!

[@drumqtips]

Don't let the drums or the weather beat you up my man! Get up and fight and say F it. Let's gooooooo💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@Jakecake-qc7eq]

I always disturb my neighbors when I practice drumming at home. This annoys me a lot.

[@drumqtips]

That sucks! Build another home with a studio when you can practice anytime...:)

[@elgrupocachedallas9685]

Try playing with brushes

[@半澤剛-p4k]

最高にcool👍👍かっこいい😊グルーヴ、パワー、メロディアス、テクニカル、クインシーは最高のドラマーです！勉強になりました😊練習します！

[@drumqtips]

いっぱい褒める言葉言いましてくれてありがとう！

[@bonzomio]

Hi Quincy .... love your videos! What are your hats in this video? Thanks!

[@drumqtips]

Glad you like my videos! Not sure I understand the question. I only have a few hats. This one, a Lions hat and a Zildjian hat..

[@drumqtips]

I use a heavy Constantinople on the bottom and a really thin custom special dry on top. Those are my favs right now. Make sure to check the description box above to see my gear. Haven't really done a gear video yet. Maybe I"ll do one down the road. Thanks! @@bonzomio

[@gadymarcus2362]

[@70ilkor]

Thanks so much!!!! So many great ideas ❤❤❤❤

[@drumqtips]

My pleasure!

[@angelozollo9506]

Q you lay out a beautiful map. Now I am getting brave enough to add a note here and there and make it me. Of course without the map I would still be wandering through the woods aimlessly. For that I thank you.

[@drumqtips]

My pleasure Angelo! Yup that’s the next step. Personalize these and make them YOU:)

[@harpo9279]

Great stuff. Just got your signature sticks- really like them. All nylon tips should be black!

[@drumqtips]

Glad you like the sticks. Yeah, the black tips set those sticks a subtle fire:)

[@kolibru]

your improvising skills are outstanding!

[@drumqtips]

You're too kind. Thank you🙏

[@ちゃんこ先生-f9h]
