These are the kinds of licks that made me fascinated with drums as a kid. It was like hearing a magician go to work. Even though it would be a few years later in my late teens when I really started playing and taking music seriously, I always knew I would end up dedicating a good part of my life trying to study, learn, and play the drums in every style I could. Thanks for these lessons. I can not imagine having these kinds of resources back then. I would've never left the house lol. We are so lucky to get these lessons from people like yourself who have also dedicated so much time and love to this instrument.

Dear Quincy I'm happy to get to know you and your teachings.I play drums for a while and had not the chance to go to the conservatorium here in Amsterdam (many years ago).Nowadays Jazz (swing) is not so populair here as it used to be I learn every dag bit by bit some of the things you demonstrate. By the way, I,m 70 years of age but watching you make me feel like a child who is content what he sees. You see I,m a big fan.Thanks so much for your explanations!

Max was the epitome of hip! He was such an influence on hip hop... so many videos on him but I can't find the one I came across a few years ago that blew my mind. It was just a video of him playing live and he must have taken a solo but stayed mostly on the ride cymbal kick and snare and it was just a lesson on the foundation of Hip Hop. I got the paradiddle lick 2a and 2B 2Bfrom Steve Gadd doing a solo between this snare drum and floor tom.

Another thing with lick #4: play it with no quarter note rests. This way it permutates 5 times over 4 bars and ends on the 3 of the 4th bar, at which point you could rest. Sounds hip when trading 4s and I think I’ve heard recordings where Max played it that way. Just love your videos! Were I a younger man with less tethers, I would get myself into grad school at UNT so I could study with you.

First off, I love this series focusing on the licks of different drummers. You get to know how they approach drumming from a stylistic perspective. I love this video and the Art Blakey video especially. Also, I wanted to inquire about when your store will restock the 12 pack of your signature sticks. I’ve dropped more money than I care to admit on finding the perfect stick, and this is the one. If anyone is reading this and hasn’t tried out his signature model stick, do yourself a solid and snag a pair, it’s only $12 for a potentially life changing experience.

Awesome post! This really gave me insight to some things I was trying to figure out with Max Roach. I played it differently and after seeing what you perform, it sounds accurate. That process was really good for my learning, trying to transcribe, giving it a go, and then seeing how you transcribe it. So, for me, I recommend you play the actual clip of what is to be shown, have us viewers figure it out, and then you show it. Thanks for considering my take. :)

This is GREAT! One thing I've found in my own exploration of phrases from the gods is that I usually find some variation or other subtle (or in some cases not so subtle) nuance that makes it something of my own. There's a Bill Stewart paradiddlie-diddle triplet thing that I just had a terrible time getting under my hands until I shifted the phrase and started it on the last triplet partial of 4 of the measure before. For some reason I found it easier to execute and since it starts on a strange upbeat, it has a very unique character that's slightly deceptive. Hey, well, there ya go...how about four of those sick Bill Stewart phrases?!!

@drumqtips Жыл бұрын

Absolutely! Personalizing the phrases is the CRUCIAL last step to using it in our playing. Thanks for sharing! And yes to Bill Stewart phrases:)

Hey Mr. Davis! 1.Jack DeJohnette, from his early album "have you heard?"(is this the next level of jazz?). 2.Dennis Chambers "mother tongues" with John McLaughlin. 3. Bill Stewart, from his album "telepathy" two licks: 1. "fano" at 5.41 minutes and 2. "happy chickens" at 5.21 minutes, both take about five seconds and maybe 3. "happy chickens" from 5.58 to 6.07 minutes, especially the last two or three seconds. I would really love to know, what precisely happens there. And you explain sooo good!
