Thanks, Quincy, for this excellent lesson. Idea: how about Bossa, Samba, and Afro-Cuban styles on brushes?

Your #3 example is actually #12 in the Philly book called Fancy Fancy. 👍

Bring on part 4! 🥳

This is one of your best videos man, thank you :)

That was just an amazing video on brushes Quincy! Some say public speaking is the number one human fear. Mine would be playing brushes in front of Quincy! Thank you so much Quincy for your great teaching videos. I watch them over and over!

Fantastic demonstrations, Q! So glad you covered 3/4 time with brushes. Not as easy as you make it look. Wonderful job!

Bringing the quiet fire. Dig it man.

Hey, Prof. Davis, this is like the third or fourth time now that you've dropped a video that addressed exactly what I was working on at the time. It's wild. Thank you for these lessons! 🙌

Thank you great!!! You demonstrate the idea of relaxing on the brushes . this really helped me , specific instructions are very helpful. I Will shed more on brushes

All I have to say to you Quincy is, smooth… 😉👉🏼✨🥁🪶

Your brushes match your shirt nicely!

Q! This lesson is just excellent!

I love my Drumkit so much, and now i love you too. You make me feel like a happy child. Greetings from Ostfriesland/Northeastgermany Stay like this!

Great feel,great sound.I remember that brush lesson a few years ago also excellent.... There's something really great about the movement brushes give to songs/ tunes...It also helps stick control I find...❤️

That counter clockwise circle sounds hot at up tempos.

Just fantastic instructional content. Thanks so much.

I have completed all of the brush classes! I too love the Vic Firth heritage brushes. These exercises are clear, precise, and create a very effective ground work for any brush situation you may find yourself in...if you practice DAILY! Thank you professor Davis! Going to hit the 8 killer be-bop phrases...Also, my old drum teacher Joe Raynor, got me into classical samba/Brazilian phrases. Can you do a few videos expounding on the American Jazz version of Samba and Latin based phrases? Also, I would love to get you input on some Afro-Cuban phrases. ie. Mozambique, Nani go. I have Subscribed and liked all the content so far.

Thank you for the valuable lesson !!!

Brother Q ... you kept your word about making a uptempo brush video . I've been waiting two years and it was worth it! and that my Brother makes YOU that guy 👑🥁🔥

Awesome!

I swear to God Q, you always know exactly what I need, exactly when I need it. I really been concentrating on my brush work. As we all know, there's only one way to get good at playing brushes. Been concentrating on my jazz ride pattern as well. Playing at higher tempos, and timing myself. You look down at your timer, THAT WAS 1 MINUTE?!! LOL

Amazing lesson

THANKS VERY NICE LESSON!!!!!

He can play😮

Thanks! Cool!

I love the shirt with the same color of the brushes...so swag !

Great teaching, great execution (of course), and great didactic application. In short, great Quincý. A very affectionate hug and thank you for sharing all this. To love music is to love drums and vice versa.

Thanks for these brush lessons! Fantastic in depth analysis. One thing I’d like to see is tips on how to solo with brushes. I feel limited in vocabulary with them. It would be great to hear what you have to say about soloing with them

Another excellent lesson as always; cheers from Brasil Q! Thank you for you kindness and knowledge 💌

Would love to see your take on Philly Joe Jones Brush Artistry book. 12 examples. Thank you!

fantastic man! more than anything im grateful for your personableness and how excited you are to help us newbies learn. you're awesome got a new sub here

Really good, informative videos. I’d love to hear your take on Buddy Rich.

Gracias!!!

Always easy to understand, always helpful, patient and well presented...now all I gotta do is practise and get better! Thank you as ever, Quincy...

Oh how I love me some sweepers....... If all I had was brushes, I'd still be a happy Drummer! Thanks Q!

Great as usual! Your videos never disappoint. I asked you recently to cover ballads and you covered that too. That’s was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks and keep them coming! FP

Thanks so much for this lesson, and all of your lessons, Professor! I’m a jazz piano undergrad at UNCo, but have been dabbling on the drums and these lessons are SO helpful! Congrats on 20k 🎉

Thanks, Quincy. Great lesson. 👍

A masterclass like always! Amazing content Q! I specialy enjoyed your advices on playing ballads! Looking forward for part 4!!! 🔥

Dope !!!

Many thanks from the mountains of Yunnan ! You must be so good to raise the mayonnaise ! I vote also for Brazilian ! Would you dare a brush Mozambique ?

Hi Quincy, brush playing is an area where I need lots of help. I can play the basic medium fast and ballad tempos, but I’m just not as good as I would like to beat it. You sound fantastic playing with brushes. I go on KZfaq and watch players using brushes and they make it look easy but it really isn’t at all. One more thing. I saw dejohnette with the Keith Jarrett trio use the third method of brush playing that you demonstrated and he sounds so good using that method, of he sounds great all the way around anyway, he’s a master player. Thanks for the video, I’ll try practicing your technique. Thanks, Chuck.

Another great video! Always solid info from you. For uptempo brushes, one of my favorites is KWash on Tommy Flanagan's “Mean Streets” (from the album Jazz Poet). Not just that tune, but the whole album. Anyway, thanks for always posting great content. Greetings from Shanghai. Charles

Thanks, beautiful stuff Quincy. How about some 12/8 feels like Art Blakey ?

Thanks máster. I would like you play off beats with brushes 😉

Hi Quincy, just in case you are familiar with some of the patterns from Philly Joe‘s „Brush Artistry“…you could maybe demonstrate some …

Nice...👍❤🌹

Tips on switching smoothy between sticks and brushes without disrupting the groove too much?

Thanks for very informative and good videos. Maybe a lesson on latin brushes?

Hi Quincy! Love your brush playing. Do you do brush stick rhythms, by any chance? Love your motto, 'Don't rush, brush!'

Hi Quincy I'm following you from germany. Really learned a lot from you. Thank you very much!! There is quite a lot if information about basic brush patterns. Unfortunately very little about advanced embellishments or brush rudiments and how to incorporate them seemlessly into your playing. Things to make the basic patterns shine.. Could you cover something like that, please?

Hi, as always : Fantastic Lesson ! I was wondering if there is a chance to work also a bit on comping in these styles and especially how to come easily back into the pattern once you have broken them up. To me this is quite the biggest challenge. Once you have established the move/pattern all is fine but if you start comping and want to reestablish...it gets bumpy..

I play in a classic hard rock band but love jazz drumming....I just don't understand playing it though.

My apologies. I thought you were saying you had names/ tracks specifically featuring brushes. No worries! I'll work through your videos. Have a great day, Quincy!

Mrs. Quincy, I got a question about practicing. For me, I don't really like to sweat, but I watch the master like Elvin Jones who play so hard and so fast that they end up sweating all around. Do you believe that practicing fast tempos inevitably ends up in sweating, or maybe it's a matter of technique. Sorry about my English I'm from Peru. Greetings from my country or as we Peruvian say "Saludos, mi hermano".

TKS Quincy!

It looks to me like you have your snare drum quite high? Tia

Can you make a video of you just playing like don't teach anything just som playing 😁

I’m sorry for some wrong words, I meant to say , I’m just not as good as I would like to be at it.

Dude,play more,talk less!

Thanks for this lesson, really like your content!
