Thank you so much for doing the interview. That story about getting your hand raised gave me straight up goosebumps, thanks for sharing. You are a true master.
You are the greatest! A complete inspiration!!!!! Sad thing is, im just discovering u and i have to listen to everyday! Won't have the room to say all i wanna say, but...lord have mercy, you are good and a life of listening pleasure.
I'm old enough to have heard and watched Peter's development over about 50 years. As a drummer myself, it's such a huge pleasure to hear his thoughts on what lead to who he is today. A master musician. :)
Peter is my greatest influence not just in music but in life, I've had the pleasure of meeting him a few times in my life and he is such an amazing human, teacher, and player. Thank you for existing Pete!
Quincy you are the (f bomb alert) fucking best. Thank you so much for this interview and for your interview with Bill Stewart. U might be reaching a small demo but trust me, you are creating such valuable content. Thank u a million times.
This is interesting that I found this. I am not a drummer, but my favorite is Peter Erskine. When I found your channel I noticed that you were just as musical with a gorgeous tone. Really appreciate your channel. Peace!!
The day I realized that what you don't play is more important than what you do play, my whole concept of drumming changed. Thank you Peter Erskine for that Terrance Blanchard story.
Thank you Quincy for putting this together and getting out there, a great laid back and interesting interview. What a true gentleman and lovely man Peter Erskine is. Inspirational in more than just his playing.
Ah! Quincy, you just made my day. Thank you so much, man. One of the best interviews I've heard. Erskine is wonderful as usual, but you set the pace and the feeling of the whole thing in a beautiful way. Thank you.
Thank you so much...really.. Peter Erskine for your comment and observations on the use of rim shots with regards to snare drum in a musical situation. I agree with you Maestro. 🙏🥁
Erskine's advice at 35:15 reminds of ex Australian player Fred Stolle said in commentary. Totally different but similar principle. In a match Jim Courier hit a backhand down the line winner to win the game. Fred said the best players save that shot and use it sparingly, "they keep it in their locker" for maximum impact. Don't use it all the time as the opponent picks up what you are going to do. Similar principle I think. Less is more. Only the best in their chosen profession understands that. They have the shots (chops) and know when to use them at the right times.
I’m with you. We drummers like to use the “backhand down the line” too much. Good analogy! I’m a tennis and basketball player so I appreciate the correlations between music and sports very much. Cheers!
New Jersey in the house and a USC Trojan percussion “professor “ lol and of course the music the drumming can’t believe we haven’t met both have shared associates friends fight on !
12:38 - Re: traditional grip - I’m 57 years old. I’ve been playing drums since I was 11. Matched grip. Wondering if it’s too late for me to learn traditional grip?
Not too late to learn but I'm not sure it's worth switching if you're comfortable with matched grip at this point. Only do it if you feel you REALLY want to learn. Thanks Harry!
Thanks so much, Quincy. What a pleasure to speak with you ... hope all's well.
Thank you so much for doing the interview. That story about getting your hand raised gave me straight up goosebumps, thanks for sharing. You are a true master.

Really good interview, Quincy!
Could you do a video on how you set up your kit? I tried a bunch of different setups but yours seems very appealing to me.
You have to set up according to your height, reach & the way you move. There are videos about that.
Amazing Q! 🙌🏾🔥
Thanks JB! How'd that "thing" turn out?
Love this bro!
Thanks brother Stevie! We need to collaborate...once we get past this crazy thing.
I’m all about that!

Love your vids and playing, Q, but please fix the spelling of Peter's last name!
Good catch S. Perla! Thanks for letting me know and thanks for checking out the vids. More to come!
