Good video. There’s a lot of vids out there that are exquisitely boring but Quincy tears it up, he displays supreme confidence but he is not cocky, Quincy, thank you for your videos. I’ve been playing drums a long time now and I always enjoy watching and listening to other drummers who are truly better than I. You are the man bro. Happy drumming!

I’d love to see you solo on a standard tuned 5 piece kit

Nice lesson breaking down ways to transcribe music 🎼🎵🎶🥁👍🏾👍🏾

Transcriptions delivered! Hugs

I’m a pianist, not a drummer. And this makes my piano playing better. I hope you can receive some of the positivity just like you give out. Thank you for sharing your insights - uplifting and helpful.

Love the sound of your kit.

Dear Mr. Quincy Davis, I admire your kindness by giving away informations about drumming which must have the value of about thousends of dollars. I can see more and more what the art of drumming is really about. I'm looking forward to spend my Money to you! yours sincerely, J.

Funy, this is exactly where I am ! Some of my solo phrases are ugly and it's because you can't really hear (=transcribe) them. The thing is, if it's clear in your head (very important), then you must work the quality of your execution (the articulations).

Nice my friend...good times alweyes...

Thanks Prof, !!!

I just received your signed vic firth drumsticks. Nice balance of weight and thickness. Thank you.

An excellent drummer once told me that the rudiments are a means of embellishment, and that the underlying rhythm and feel are what are more important. When you put the rudiments first, you can lose sight of the other two.

These videos make you THINK! Great stuff as always, Quincy…

Qunicy, I suck at soloing. To the point where I often experience anxiety when I know I have to solo on something (which in turn blocks me from doing anything!). But lately, I've been thinking: What if I DID compose my solos and charted them out for any given piece of music that required it? Granted, it may go against all improvisational conventions. But maybe if I started with the framework for a solo, transcribed it, and then moved on from there as if I were adding a cadenza (improvisation) to the framework of the solo. I'm a chart writing nut, so I found your ideas and concepts on this subject very helpful. Thank you so much. ☮️

Immensely helpful! One of the biggest roadblocks is always mindset when it comes to soloing or even comping and sounding more musical on the kit. I really like the way you break it down. Thanks Quincy!

Like listening to the old masters❤️ Succinctly played and executed Quincy.Appreciate your valuable time.I have other channels I watch 90/20,Rob Brown,some Drumeo all great.But yours is the go to for wisdom and humour and knowledge.I'm not much for transcribing as I'm not practiced enough.But admire people that can.I have been playing in bands many styles for years.Rock,Hard rock,Reggae, Punk rock,Indy rock,Blues...Not jazz but have followed it and been a fan since I was a child.I love the word mindset🥁

Very nice. Great thoughts as usual Q. As always thanks for your musical knowledge & sharing with us 👌🏽🎶🥁

Another great and informative video, thank you Professor Davis!

I've used your download store. Great material, Q! Thanks again for the lesson.

The only problem I find with that concept is, everything can be transcribed wrong.or right. The basic concept maybe is how to make sense while playing jazz within the traditional jazz narrative...for me as latín player living in central América is the phrasing, spanish sounds in 16th notes and english sounds swing triplet... Traditional jazz licks are somewhat easy but the deep construcción is what I find very challenging... Great vídeo!! Thanks for sharing.

absolute world class intro solo. dammit. and the tip really is good, but hard. transcribing as we know it is one thing, but ask Earl Palmer about transcribing Elvin Jones. he didn't just transcribe a piece of music. it was a drum solo. an Elvin Jones drum solo. and he sank it all up in audio while watching a silent video of Elvin playing the solo. today we call that pro Tools and CGI. again i say, dammit. another excellent video, Q. thank you.

Wonderful as usual Quincy! Do you think it's good to play solo ideas to a tune or little jazz diddy thing in your head? I do that a lot. Hey the Creeper is one I'm working on! Thank you for all you do Quincy!

These are Q - tips that SHOULD be put in your ears!

nº 2 Quincy ✌🏽

80/20 drummer, who is also a fan of your channel, suggests to play as creatively as possible within a given subdivission.

Hey Q, what are you using for miking the drums? Great lesson as always. Dimitrije

2:23 "Think more aQtely". That's how I heard it anyways🤠

Quincy, what bass drum pedal are you using? is it a dyna- sync and if so how are finding it compared to anything else you have tried? I am looking for a new pedal after using an iron cobra for years and I am on the fence between the speed cobra and the dyna- sync. Great work as usual.

HELLO, BUT IS IT IMPORTANT TO TRANSCRIBE EVERYTHING WE PLAY, OR JUST THE RHYTHMIC IDEA YOU LIKE, AND THEN WE WORK ON THAT FREELY BUILDING THE SOLO?

Have 3 transcribed already? I'll do it tonight if I have time!

Hey Quincy, excellent lesson as always, thank you! Any advice for someone that can't get to the kit to practice as often as they'd like? Do you think the drum pad and rudiment practice is the only go to, to keep sharp? Thanks

HI, WHERE IS THE TRANSCRIPTION OF THIS LESSON?

I just send you a transcription for option 1 :-D

Me : "wait, why isn't there more views on this video ??!" also me : "Ah... It got posted today..."

Great point. Guess your never too mature to learn. 👍🏽

sure it's useful to know what you're playing but is no guarantee for a nice solo , once you see notes when you are soloing it means the magic is gone

My teacher told me that if you will think what to play and how to play, you won't be able to play and improvise. Like a boxer, who would think whether he should lean to the right or to the left when a punch is coming.

Whelp... Can't read music ☹️

Play off the melody of the song. Job done.
