Bloody love you Quincy. This stuff you are putting online, you used to have to drive 45mins - 2hrs and pay $120 (which I didn’t have) to learn a QUARTER of this info off some ‘jazz specialist’ drum teacher. You are banging this out on KZfaq for anybody around the world to have for FREE!! 😳 This is just insane…BUT….Thank you from me for doing what you do….. your delivery, energy, explanations and clear detail is just impeccable. Never stop doing what you do bro 🙏🏽 Much love from Melbourne

I love your approach of "play what you feel, and no one will be able to play it!" Sometimes I work to play note-for-note, but should rather be working on what I feel the drum part of a song should be. Thank you so much for your excellent playing as well as for your wisdom!

Let’s add number 5…listen! I have less experienced drummers tell me that they aren’t able to swing like they want to. I’ll ask them what they’ve been or who’ve they been listening to. Well they aren’t listening to jazz or jazz drummers. That’s a big no no. You’re just not going to get the feel if you’re not listening. Keep up the great work Quincy! FP

Fantastic video! Love that you emphasize the bouncy feel as well as the steps leading up to variations in the pattern. I personally used to vary this pattern unintentionally from a lack of coordination which many new drummers do, so emphasizing the consistency of each pattern is a very helpful tip for any new jazz drummers. I personally got to a similar place by playing the ride pattern very consistent over all sorts of comping to make sure that I would only vary the pattern if it sounded better not just to make my job easier

I'm one of those mostly self taught drummers who definitely has a style tendency towards jazz. I've got a jazzy feel and quite a well developed right hand, especially in terms of finger technique and moeller. However, I don't feel like I can actually play jazz. Not by a mile. I haven't just been dancing around the quarter note, I've been dancing around jazz itself for decades :) This is a very helpful video though. I'm sure I've already got some of this down reasonably well, but definitely not all of it. I know I feel comfortable playing an ever changing ride pattern with the hats, but at the expense of my comping. My independence is lacking there. If it get more elaborate with my left hand, my right hand will automatically get simplified and vice versa. Then again, I'm not sure if that's a bad thing per se. Like you said with the feathering, it's okay to omit things if they're throwing you off. Play what you can. Thanks, I'll try my hand at this!

Right on, good stuff! I think teachers often declare "wrist" or "fingers" without acknowledging the balance. Sometimes boundaries and borders get in the way, heh. The dynamics are so important for the feel and it's another thing we don't hear about so much. Maybe you've mentioned this and I missed it, but I'm curious what you think about the Bill Stewart 'click' sound people talk about? In interviews he says his grip and a chamber he makes in his hand let the stick resonate, making that sound. I've been having a lot of fun experimenting with it lately. Your ride always sounds great!

Man. It seems so simple, and yet not until a more experienced drummer points out the simplicity. The 1st quarter note ride with syncopated comping feels so directly related to what I wasn't understanding. I'm a patient player in an ensemble, but have really been struggling with my ride finesse. I feel like I lean on the "Ever-Changing", but the band is losing the quarter note which leads me to lose the quarter note, because I skip over it in practice. Need to get back on it. Good lesson.

I came across a drum video teaching uptempo ride cymbal patterns. He said an approach he used was to think quarter note triplets over the each measure & on top of that to diddle any of the three notes in the quarter note triplet. It isn’t a cheat but just another gear to use.. Like the painting on the wall…
@drumqtips Жыл бұрын
Not sure I fully follow but I’m sure it’s effective way to think of the ride👍🏾
@webstercat Жыл бұрын
Quarter note triplets over a measure, then double each or either of the notes. I should have said “ I” like the painting on your wall which has nothing to do with triplets. The Q note triplet. First note played by itself second note doubled (diddle) third note single. The triplet repeats with first note doubled (diddle) second note single, third note doubled (diddle). It’s a bastardized swing stretched over a measure. Up tempo cheat… Respect to you…
