I’m in jazz band at school and I feel like I’m not playing well enough but this really helped me to outline specific things I can do and strive for rather than people just telling me to listen and practice. Thank you!
I hate that! “Practice!” I’m like, yeah, practice what!!?? This guy’s a good teacher!
I'm not a drummer, I'm a pianist, and I regularly watch your videos. Helps me understand the role of the drummer and internalize the swing.
That's awesome to hear Tomas! You and me can talk about altered dominant and #5 chords sometime:)
Tips worth their weight in gold. Magnificent video, I really appreciate that way of expressing sensations and postures when playing drums. Quincy, I won't get tired of repeating it, I love these videos, I enjoy them... A very cordial greeting.
This is really a stellar page & he shared lots of deep knowledge in a very clear way
I will never get tired of saying thanks so much brother Joe for your kind words! I appreciate you🙏🏾
Man. That is the best sounding ride cymbal that has ever been made into a ride cymbal by people who make ride cymbals!
Whoa! That’s the best compliment about my ride cymbal I’ve ever received ☺️
This video is solid gold. The fact that it’s delivered while your playing is impressive.
To me this is the kind of knowledge that is the most helpful for learning. It’s simple and practical, not too theoretical…can be implemented instantly. The fact that you demo it as you’re talking is extra impressive.
Quincy, I forgot to tell you that you’ve helped me so much with all of your lessons, you’re a master drummer and I have great respect for your playing and ability. Chuck C
I’m really happy to hear that and thank you for your kind words Chucky!
Wow, I needed all 23+ minutes of this lesson. Thanks Quincy! Insightful and fully spot on 'how-to's'! Look forward to applying them all. Cheers! IP
I'm a beginner rock drummer and not into jazz, but I loved this video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for another wonderful lesson! Not swinging the 8ths was a real eye/ear opener.
Hey Tom. Yeah that one gets a lot of people I think. Thanks as always for watching!
Having been playing for over 30 years i went through most of those issue (not that i don't fall into a few of them from time to time), but it's great to see them summarised in one excellent video.
Plus i love the Purdie vibe 😁
Great work brother, you got a new subscriber. Peace!

Thanks a great lesson
Thanks for watching Steve🙏🏾
Great video man, love your drumming.
Thank you🙏🏾
Quincy, Philly Joe was great at feathering the bass drum. Play on an album with Sonny Rollins and used that technique and it sounded really excellent. They didn’t even use a piano player on that particular tune and Philly just made that tune sound so good. I think the tune was, surrey with the fringe on top. Man those guys were just awesome. Sonny Rollins and Philly Joe , two monster musicians.
Philly is the man. I love that track, surrey with the fringe on top. Duo and swingin’!! Thanks for sharing Chucky!
Quincy, this is great stuff, thank you. I play mostly rock and blues but, I hope, a lot of what I play is influenced by a jazz feel. And I’ll practice just playing jazz to tunes like Take Five and the like…they feel just awesome. Anyway, thank you for your lessons. Please keep it up.
Awesome Rich! Thanks for always watching the lessons. I'm glad you find them helpful, even as a rock and blues player. Cheers!
A+ and thank you very much for your valuable -- and musical -- insights.
My pleasure!
This was so extremely helpful, thank you!

Thanks for the good ways to improve
My pleasure!
Thank you for your videos, I am using ideas from them every day and find them really inspiring[2-5-6-7 for me in this one].I was playing along while you were playing today and it might be cool to have a 3-4 minute video of you just playing for us to play along with you at some different tempos sometimes.
That’s a great idea Chuck! I’ll keep that in mind. Glad you’re finding the lessons helpful.
Excellent advice, Q! Keep the insightful lessons coming.
I appreciate that my man!
One of the most helpful drum channels on UA-cam.
I appreciate that brother Ryan!
thnx a lot master,ur tips are realy learning,generaly about drums and music ,not only jazz playing!
My pleasure Rado!
I'm thrilled I found your channel! I've been playing the drums for over 25 years and have a music degree. I've mainly been a rock drummer but I love jazz. I worked with Syncopation, the art of Bop Drumming and some other "jazz" books with a few different teachers and, extensively on my own. I learned more about jazz comping from this video than I have with all those teachers combined. Where were you 20 years ago? Haha! Thank you for laying it out so simply. Great channel and great playing!
I am thrilled you found my channel too. And I am even more thrilled that you found value in this lesson. Sorry I couldn’t be there 20 years ago when you were looking for me :-)
Just started trying to play jazz so this has been really helpful your awesome man
Awesome Andy!
Thank tou Quincy! I'm new to jazz drumming. Just started this year. And this is very informative. Love your videos. All the best from Holland!
Awesome! Glad you find my videos so helpful!
I've played with people who like the left hand to be quite busy. I think the key is to play with varied dynamics - play accents in key places that give the music forward momentum and swing, then fill in the gaps with grace notes, a bit like Buddy Rich used to. Definitely works in a small group setting it done right.
Good point Joe! Thanks for sharing sir.
It's a great video. So clean so useful ideas... I should watch it everyday. Maybe listen to this while driving. It's like a biblio
Glad you enjoyed the lesson so much my friend:)
Thanks Quincy I'm guilty of least 3 of these... Always great to see you put this style of music/playing into perspective ❤️🥁
Glad you enjoyed it Peter! Thanks for watching as always my friend.
So interesting, I really thought of Frankie Dunlop like 5 sec before you mentioned him, out of the blue... the tempo, your bounce and those melodic rhythms...
Great minds…:)
Oh man, you're gold
Very good lesson being mindful is what I need to work on adding space all this is old stuff I forgot Thanks
Thanks for watching Rich!
Some serious groove going on… Thanks, Q!
I appreciate that!
Super-well articulated. Your lesson lives up to the title. Supreme teaching. Thank you
Thanks for the kind words, and I am so happy it was helpful!
Lots of great points - thank you for mentioning posture - slouching, or sitting too stiff and restricted - only one of my teachers over the years ever talked about that- The great Gary Chester. It was a central part of his teaching concept! It helped me a LOT over the years. Peace & best-GREG BURROWS
Guilty of all 10! Thank you so much for giving us these FIXES! I've seen enough TIPS on jazz drumming out there
My pleasure Josh!
Well that's hands down the best intro to jazz drumming I've ever seen. Cheers Quincy.
You’re way too kind Ken. Thank you very much🙏🏾
Thankyou Quincy!
Brilliant tutorial
All the rubbish I do encapsulated in one lesson 🥁🙏
Ha! Me too Tim:) Thanks for watching.
In all my years on the road and with my students, your tenth point is the one I had to address the most.Playing with intent, purpose, and soul can overcome a lot of deficiencies in anyone's playing.I always loved hearing the Detroit guys talk about playing with fire when I lived there.Also, you might have a point of contention talking with some New Orleans cats about not moving too much when you play.{Just kidding,or maybe not]Always the best lessons,Quincy,thanks.
You're spot on everything you said Alan. And yeah, the New Orleans cats move a lot, but they're grooving so hard and they're body is so much a part of what they are playing that it doesn't get in the way. In fact, it probably adds to the groove:) Thanks for sharing Alan!
Thank you for these direct and concrete tips! I keep getting told to just listen to more jazz and not overplay but that's very vague advice. These direct tips are very helpful.
Happy to help Rafa!
Gracie for this!
Thank you Skippy!
Tnx man👉
Any time Teo!
Great lesson! I'll put my hand up for at least three of these. Gonna take this to the shed and the bandstand. Thank you Quincy!
Good that you can recognize where you stand Russell. Good luck, shedding them out of your playing my friend :-)
Wow! That's an amazing synthesis of a lot of stuff I learnt from you!
I have to say that I'm a lot better drummer thanks to all your tips.
Recently I noticed that my 2 and 4 hi hat beats were'nt really with my ride cymbal (they were a little behind) so I fixed that with awareness (like Dan Weiss says...).
Fun fact: In French, Spanish and Catalan (my main languages) Strong and Loud are the same word 😂.
THANK YOU, as always!
Speaking as a bass player, you're absolutely right. When we turn up our amp, it is over for everybody
What a great lesson on Jazz 101
I’ve made some of the mistakes demonstrated here and now know how to correct them enough to sound half way legit.
I just celebrated 50 years of drumming.
Their would be no Rock without the Roll.
Cheers to you for 50 years of drumming; an amazing feat! Much respect to you Steven!
Although I've been playing for 60 years I enjoyed your video and it was a great reminder of things to avoid. I've made all those errors in the past (I played '4 on the floor' on 'A Night in Tunisia' with a student big band that went out on the BBC in 1965!! lol. Thank you. I will check other videos.
Right on Vince!
New subscriber. Loving the content, very informative stuff. Whats are the best size sticks for jazz drumming? Thanks
Hi Quincy....Great lessons! Great playing and examples!....I have dabbled with a little jazz...I would sometimes attend jazz jams...one thing (which I really thought you were gonna mention) was one of the first things the house band drummers or rhythm section players would tell me is not only keeping time with the ride....(while feathering the kick)....is making the high hat beats heard....even though you did mention keeping the 2&4 on the hat...what I remember is being told the h-hat..needs to be more prominent....so the other players could hear it clearly...would be Great to hear your feeling on that....t.y. Sir!!
Certainly guilty of some of these misdemeanours! Not any more, hopefully…
Straight from the heart to the heart - thank you…yet again!😎
Definitely don't want you to get arrested for any of these violations Mike! I got you brother:)
