HEY EVERYONE! Please help me get out of the 40k club and into the 50k club. Please subscribe if you got value out of this video🙏🏾. And sorry about the wrinkly T-shirt🤣

"Hi hats make the pocket strong"....Yes!!!!!! Hi hats are so underestimated and overlooked. Just when I think you can't offer any more wonderful advise, you come back even stronger. People underestimate the simple stuff. Quarter notes on the ride and strong "2 and 4" on the hi hats. Finding the "sweet spot" on the ride without wandering all over the place is so important! Thank you again!

I’ve had the Eddie Davis/Johnny Griffin Live at Minton’s album on repeat since last Friday. I am amazed by the way Ben Riley’s quarter note ride and left foot 2&4 feel. The “skip” note is in there but it’s all about the quarter note, and his quarter notes are swinging hard! This video hit at the right time for me. Thanks brother! FP

@drumqtips 3 ай бұрын

Oh that's a great album. And yes, the great Ben Riley is all about that quarter note. Especially certain tempos. Now I'm going to go back and listen to that album. Haven't heard it in a long time. Right on Frankie!

Hey Q! Ive been watching ur videos for like 3 years and I can honestly say that they are the best on the internet! I also have a question, recently ive been enjoying playing congas but most of the recordings are latin and here comes my question, what do u think about the idea of becoming jazz/swing congist? im not Talking about latin jazz but stuff more like classic bebop, swing.

@drumqtips 3 ай бұрын

I like the idea. There are some great conga players who are on some great jazz recordings. Big Black and Willie Bobo come to mind. Go for it! Glad you’ve enjoyed my lessons.

Great lesson, yet again. My number one struggle is to transition from simple time to double time or halftime and vice versa. I understand that the quarter note remains the same. But the transition moment is where the struggle happens. Do you happen by any chance to have a video on this topic? Or maybe a good idea for a future video 😊. I subscribe to the channel but didn’t find a video on the topic. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!

I like nylon tips for feel and sound. Although I don’t think they sound as good on this cymbal as they do on my normally darker cymbal. A lot of my favorite jazz drummers play with nylon tips: Kenny Washington, Kendrick Scott, Rodney Green, Louis Hayes, etc.
