I love Questlove's drumming. It's always so tasteful and simple, but has a great feel. He never tries to show off or take the spotlight, but always plays what fits the song
What a work!!! You really capture de sound of Quest Love, kudos for you hardworking and explaining the details and the steps for learning a have fun to play this. Thanks and good vibes,, salute from Barranquilla, Atlántico/ Colombia 👍👏🤟
Quest started on the scene with a 26" bass drum and a piccolo (3.5-4" depth by 14") snare. The little drums are more for working/busking in big cities like NYC.
The drum sounds came from Tony Williams (Cantaloupe Island) and Harvey Mason (Chameleon). Both legends would deserve their own episode on this channel.
Props to David Ivory and Jon Smeltz, the Roots’ engineers. But, the drums on the original recordings have nothing to do with the small kit ?uestlove now offers. If you look at his current live kit or pictures of them in the studio back then you see that he plays a larger, more standard sized kit.
These videos really do show up Andertons' "Sounds Like" series. They don't even try and get remotely close... The Neil Peart video was just a big drumkit. Everyone complained in the comments.
Questlove almost never plays rimshots? It sounds to me like he does. And like someone else said, on all these classic tracks he played a standard sized kit with a cranked, often ringy snare. A big part of the sound is the retro recording, with fewer mics and valve style processing (mic/pres and compressors).
Request: Try to replicate Simon Phillips' drum sound! From Toto over Protocol to The Who, Judas Priest, Derek Sherinian & Michael Schenker… The Man is an absolute legend! (But getting a drum set like his signature kit could be quite a challenge…)
I remember hearing Things Fall Apart when it came out and being really surprised that it was a drum kit and not a drum machine. I think over the years his desire to improve as a musician has been hampered by his other obligations; DJing, producing, and loads of TV, but he is kind of the Godfather of the modern hip-hop, breakbeat style drummer. Other players like Chris Dave and Anderson Paak have taken it much further, but before Questlove hip-hop rarely had a live drummer. Obviously, he is drawing a lot from Clyde Stubblefield and James Gadson, but with a very modern twist and very different production. I think his strengths are his minimalism, his arrangement of the grooves, his unbelievable consistency, his willingness to play for the song, and his amazing tone. Not all drummers are flashy but if you love The Roots' music you will know what he brings. If not, it might seem like he's not doing much.

A Tim Alexander (primus) drum sound would be amazing! He is a seriously underrated rock drummer!
Yes!
I second that!
I agree!
Agreed. Herb is amazing and his sound on Sailing the Seas of Cheese is incredible.
That's herb...herb the ginseng drummer...3, 4!
Questlove was the first drummer who’s drum sound I fell in love with

The snare sound on the first track is near identical, so cool.

Knocked another one out of the park, boys. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks for the time and effort y'all put into these.

Thank for the request!
@@ArtOfDrumming thanks for the thanks 😄
@@jooeleng 😉

Love this!
cool how the kick is in tune with the bassline in the seed. It like almost as one part
These videos are so amazing! Thank you.
Oooh I was really hoping to see one of his songs off of Voodoo on here. Could we see this in the future?
Chicken grease
Very informative thanks....What about the sounds on Vodoo and Mama's gun....
I think you should do the Jimi Hendrix drum sound.
Cool Idea - thanks!
Could barely hear it lol
@@CD-gk9ix take a listen to “Fire” by Jimi Hendrix. The drums are very present.
@@davidddrums correct.. that’s one song
Anything else?
@@CD-gk9ix purple haze, hey joe, little wing
I wanted this to go on and on!! More!! Lol 🤣
On Point!!!!
Do vinnie colaiuta’s full drum kit. I love what you did in the seven days snare. Much love from the Philippines. ❤️
Already on our list ;-)
Fantastisch ✌🏻
Excelente!!
Do you know the mic-pre and compressor he use or what did you use to record the drum sounds
cool drum set !!! thanks for your videos
Thanks for your feedback!!!
i love the drum sound
great content dude
I’d love to see you guys do Matt halperns sound from periphery
❤hell yeah

Not true.
thanks
Great vid
A muse's drum sound video would be great!!
Please have a look here: th-cam.com/video/hNaQpoLAzL8/w-d-xo.html
Awesome video!
Thank You!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I think Luke Holland‘s drum sound has influenced many drummers on the internet and would make for an interesting and informative video!
Great Idea - Thanks!
What is the song of the intro ?
What did they put in the 16” bass?
How’d you tune reso snare head for this?
These videos really do show up Andertons' "Sounds Like" series. They don't even try and get remotely close... The Neil Peart video was just a big drumkit. Everyone complained in the comments.
Nice hat sound.
what is that cymbals stand/rack u use for storage ? thanks
Those are actually just some regular guitar stands on top of some wooden boxes 👍
where i can find the samples of this drums ?
Harvey Mason Drum Sound would be great he‘s a pretty awesome drummer
Gavin Harrison, Tim Alexander, Danny Carey, Carter Beauford, Adam Deitch..
Can you do Bill Ward from black sabbath?
Please do a drum feature on Earl Hudson from Bad Brains. Awesome high hat.
4:58 Is that always true? Or only on this Erykah Badu track? I cannot believe he does not hit the rim.
I remember Quest saying he's always used Vic Firth 7A sticks. It starts with the stick
he has his signature sticks as well. really long, thin ones I think 17”
❤

The drum sound on the album Point of Entry by Judas Priest would be great to hear!
Please do Scott Rockenfield next please!
😎👏🏽
Can you guys recreate queensryche - empire and guns n roses use your illusion sound?
Maybe one day we'll see the recreation of the famous Alex van halen snare🤔
Oh I guess only the snare won‘t be enough. Don‘t know when but we will surely add a Van Halen video to this series at some point 👍
@@ArtOfDrumming LETS GO! Love to hear it. You guys rock! 🤘
Please do Danny Carey and Ray Luzier. I've never see anyone do Ray.
I love his snare sound I’m really surprised you were able to get that sound out of such a cheap drum. Why am I playing 800 dollars snares????
Do Davd King!!!!!
Questlove doesn't play rim shots?
can you plz do billy talent drummer Aaron Solowoniuk plz he is so underrated so is the band
Dang we're not gonna do that weird stack used in Jimmy fallon kit?
I think the snare is pitched a bit higher on the original Erica Badu song
Don Henley drum sound please!!!
👌🏽
Mitch Mitchell would be awesome
A little too muted for "you got me" with the kick. For me. But amazing work man.
Request: Try to replicate Simon Phillips' drum sound! From Toto over Protocol to The Who, Judas Priest, Derek Sherinian & Michael Schenker… The Man is an absolute legend! (But getting a drum set like his signature kit could be quite a challenge…)
Can't get that sound without tape and vari-mu compression
Questo uses 14" Quick beats hats brother, the FX Crash was right, & he uses a 24" K Light Ride homie
Stan lynch👉👈
Why do you spoiler everything at the beginning of the video?!?!?
Wurstmic!
Hilarious!
Now you just got to work on your fro. It needs to be way puffier.
I could think of many other drummers that you should do before this guy sorry.
The most overrated drummer.
Amir Thompson!!!….
the most overrated drummer with just a lot of hype!!!👎🏼
Still better than you.
You sound extremely salty. I'm sure whining some more will improve your musical skill.
@@ricardoconqueso Haha!!…better at bullshitting his way through everything!!!your right!!!!
I'm trying hard here but Questlove is so overrated it's unbelievable.
What makes you say that?
Trying hard to what? Sound as butthurt as possible?
