Nice 👌🙏

His cymbal work not about chops????!!!! Completely about chops! ❤ 💯

This is the best lesson for the Mozambi. Thank you!

My favorite use of this technique is using it for a disco style beat where the off beat is used for an accent like on 3and. Likewise, also found it to be powerful for double hits to the second hit to be either on or rebounded. I’ll have to incorporate this my fills. Thinking about using it to switch between the classic Phil Collins drum fill but switching out some bass drum hits with it being open. Great vid, thanks!

No how dare you Tony played cos dot clear heads not coated or is it your way of telling us your gay

Hi Quincy, here is a solo worth learning, the first tune on this video recording, it's called "Something for Ndugu", it's played by Willie Jones III. But I have a question: should I learn it note for note? Or give myself some space and improvise around it, just like Willie does each time playing it? (I really dig Willie Jones III now:) ua-cam.com/video/j3gYV4fFz7M/v-deo.html Funny thing, I've got exactly the same drum kit, Gretsch CJC, even the colour, but in the video, it is sounds better than anything I've hard from my own instrument, must be the matter of heads/tuning/micing... so I might look for the sound too ;)

Thank you Quincy !!

Thank you Quincy. I enjoyed observing your technique, and it was well articulated.

So tasty!

Great video as always! Thank you very much!!! I have one request (after all this time! haha) It would be super helpful for me to have your insights on how to play in "half time" or in "2", I searched on your old videos but didn't find a video on this matter!!! Matcha green tea is great! Almost every morning for me! Have a great week!

Unfortunately I could hear you fine but could not hear any of Buddy's drumming. You need to fix your video sound so old folks like me can actually hear the video and not just you. I was really looking forward to this because I thought I heard all his solos but had no heard this one. Please fix you audio. Thanks for trying. Bye.

The best jazz drumming teacher on UA-cam. Pragmatic, competent, clear in explanations.

there will always be haters , i appreciate the time and effort u put into your videos , if i didn’t have to work i would spend all day learning from u , thanks again!!

Hi Q, do you ever play heel up without burying the beater?

Interesting. Thank you

Hey Quincy, your kit sounds fantastic! Are you using any felt on the bass drum?

Woah...That Funk to Jazz rhythmic pattern - cross - over - mind - warp, is the stuff dreams are made of! I never put it together that way in my mind...I hear it!! Thanks Professor Davis!

Fantastic lesson! Control of an open bass drum is a skill that can help set you apart from other drummers.

Thank you again Professor Davis! Great video. I know the patterns you played t the top. I can sing and play them back to you, but as far as a song, I'm unfortunately drawing a blank. I really enjoyed the Latin styles at the end! I was first exposed to this open/mute technique in '95. There is paperback book Called, West African Rhythms for the Drum set, by Royal Hartigan. He teaches the open/mute technique in this book, and uses it on all possible drum voicings, and with both hands and feet. In some of the advanced exercises, both hands, and both feet have an open or mute part to play in the pattern. It came with a CD! Also, you mentioned Elvin Jones. I'm not sure if you have ever heard of a song by the Canadian rock band Our Lady Peace, called Stealing Babies. But, their drummer Jeremy Irons, is a huge Jones fan. Jones, is featured on the end of that song. Check it out. I look forward to your next installment. Have a great week!

I feel like I was a hater on last video Q (the comment about ‘playing the UA-cam game’ that you kindly responded to. Though I do feel disheartened sometimes by what creators have to do to play that ‘game’). I kinda feel like crap about it now, sorry man. I have a lot of respect for you as educator 😊

As a midwesterner, I dig sneaking in the JR!

FYI, at he END OF THIS VIDEO I play a few different styles (SAMBA, SONGO, MOZAMBIQUE) to give you an idea of how I play my open bass drum when playing those styles. Check it out! 👍🏾

What interval is between the batter and resonant head?

Thank you Quincy for the bass drum tips . I’ll keep them in mind in my playing and practice. Man, there’s always something new too add to the items to work on .

I love you Q please have my kids! 🙏🏽🔥

I celebrate your great playing, light-hearted spirit (I feel like I can see the child in you), huge generosity, brilliant communication skills and your kind personality. Then there's the great lessons... bravo! University of North Texas chose wisely to choose you. A great lesson here! 🌞longtime subscriber❤️ gratitude!

👍Yes very nice - like open bass drum, and open drums all the way.

For bebop tunings, the challenge is to _keep_ that beater on the head. I tune my bass drum a little lower, and still the beater bounces off the head creating a diddle effect, which is mostly undesirable. If I apply more pressure, the pitch bend becomes too pronounced. Your foot control is great, but I tend to play off the head virtually all the time.

Rack Tom is tuned to (roughly) E flat. Floor Tom to C. Bass drum to E. And this bass drum has more of a ‘thud’ than the one on, say, your vid about bass drum dynamics. Those toms were tuned rack B and floor G flat.

Now that is a great lesson.

Is it just me, or does your bass drum sound more open than usual? Another good lesson from Master Q, anyway! Thanks again 🥁

My favorite music is rock and that'll never change. But I crack up when I hear people talk about this rock drummer or that rock guitarist being the best in the world. Funny thing is someone on the level of the late great Neil Peart would've laughed harder than me if someone told him he was the greatest. For virtuosity on the drums, no one can touch the top jazz drummers.

Who were your teachers and who was the biggest influence on you?

Wow this was sweet! Been listening to Oscar Peterson for my whole life (he’s from my hometown ❤) but never watched any videos of him play. As a dancer I really appreciated your breakdown of their physical communication through the music. Really excellent video/reaction! 🙌

The fill sounds like intro from Rock With You by MJ

At first I thought Philly maybe in Minority. Maybe just coincidence but the end of the fill is same as MJs Rock With You

Ned in Spain enjoying yet another essential gem from you Quincy, thank you man. When played properly there is a wide sound spectrum on all the components of a drum kit. Sounding so good too.

Thanks for the dynamic lesson! Question: would bebop tuning be suffiencent/reasonable in a jazz combo setting when playing latin, funk, boogaloo, etc? Should we tune a little lower to accomodate these styles? Thanks!

It is a privilege to be able to follow your videos and recommendations here... I'll try to put them into practice on my old Rogers Holiday. Very grateful and also happy to send you a cordial greeting. Health, peace, love and music Mr. Davis. Thank you 🎼🥁

Looks like you finally took the football out of the box, officially a Texan. ❤

The fill in soundet like a passage of the 'radetzky march' 🙌🥁

WE CALL IT COM-PING 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

Thank you so much for this Quincy! 🙏🏼 Well said! 👏🏼🥁🎶 If we compare with others, we're on a downhill. Also, haters are haters: if you're doing great, they say you haven't done much, but even if you've done it all, they'll say: yeah, but what's he doing now?! 🤦🏻‍♂️🙄😓

Art Blakey, please! This is so good, thank you!!!

We missed you, but just a tiny bit! 😂 😉

I just purchased your e-book with the 1st 79 jazz phrases. Thanks so much for creating this!! I found the videos you made for phrases 1-16. Where can I find videos of phrases 17-79? Thanks!

Welcome back! Wooo! Man I think I need to buy a same drum set as you have and start to practice!!! :) Sounds sooo cool!

Hey man! Sounds really cool! I'm not a drummer, I make jungle music as a hobby, but I really listen to all your videos, because the sound of the drums and of course the knowledge of the drummer is an interesting plus! Is it possible to buy custom drum loop recordings from you? Please let me know if possible!

What music is in the background? Thanks

Very helpful vid
