Man I just have to get this out. I graduated Berklee 2007. I recently discovered this channel and these videos are magnitudes of times more helpful than the majority of classes or lessons focused around jazz drumming that I took in school. Everything here is so well-explained and simply executed and *useful*. If you have even a passing foundation of jazz drumming like I (barely) do and many other drummers coming up playing mostly rock or funk, it feels like these are exactly the type of videos for you to instantly learn something that you can take back to the kit and improve on. Q, this is a wonderful channel man - it's unlocked my desire to return to jazz and try to get a little better. Thanks.

I’m a death metal drummer but these past few months I’ve discovered jazz and fusion, and man, this is what I want to drum 24/7 now. Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Jean-Luc Ponty, I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole. I’m starting a jazz music school soon, and these videos are SO helpful in getting my jazz chops up to date. THANK YOU!

The biggest takeaway for me: I REALLY appreciate when a great educator breaks down complex concepts to bite-sized fundamentals that have otherwise been deemed illusive or "mystical"! I especially like the part where you demystified the whole "chatter" vibe...It's a language, and so Jazz isn't based on rhythmic randomness. Thanks for this video Quincy.. this was VERY insightful and helpful. I'm going to get to shedding!

Really great stuff, Quincy. In the 80s, my late great teacher from Chicago, Tony Caselli, constantly talked about comping as a language. Using the Ted Reed book, he would always have me keep time and sing the SD/BD parts for one line, then play it. This call and answer approach has stuck with me to this day, helping me to avoid the "chatter" habit of not communicating with others in the band. These days, I play gigs on both drums and piano (thanks to the same teacher that insisted I study jazz piano!), and my piano comping style comes directly from my drum comping.

Im an old now retired Jazz and bigband drummer and its just great to see an apparent movement (all be it slowly) away from Rock drumming with its nothing much more than straight Quarter ,eighth and 16th note patterns, yes you young guys lets start to see that old "Swing" feel again ,I thought for decades it would never happen, two great books "Jim Chapin on coordinated independence" and Louie Bellson's " Modern Reading Text in 4/4" although there are three printing errors in that book of which I did mention to Mr.Bellson at one time but he didn't like me bringing his attention to it LOL, but still a great book.

Been around for a minute, and I've been wondering where I fit into today's scene after laying out for a few years. My son's enrolled at The New School, and he gave me a few ideas which helped get me back up to speed. As the dad that's no longer cool (ha), I don't hear from him as much, and this video was very helpful. I can do a lot with this. I appreciate you, Brother...
