Jeff Queen Tribute(1)

[immaLazyCouchPotato]

@IPstixrawesume it's not sped up.

[sawfish33]

What is he doing with his left hand at 0:58????

[WrongerCashew]

I saw him perform this live and he did a roll with the stick on his tongue.

[IPstixrawesume]

I know Jeff is fast, but honestly, this video was tampered with: it's sped up even more. What was played he totally could play, but the body movements were unnaturally fast.

[LionBaitProductions]

I disagree. He just did this at my school on Thursday, and it doesn't seem different. Plus if it was sped up, all the noise in the video would be slightly raised, which I did not hear. If you want to hear this live, he is doing a preformance at Butler next Friday. It includes this, and other movements on the marimba (sp?), timpani, an indian pot thing, and one other thing, which I don't remember the name. But check it out, it was entertaining!

[lightfunk]

@LionBaitProductions Indian pot thing = ghatam.

[justlooking813]

@IPstixrawesume it's in 240p

[MADROCKS212]

@IPstixrawesume agreed, but sometimes when videos are uploaded of poor quality they get compressed and eventually appear like like this. but yes this not true play back speed no way.

[xSpadezHD]

@IPstixrawesume this isnt sped up because i live where he teaches at Avon and we have won nationals 3 times in a row and i have met Jeff Queen he has played right in front of me faster than this so ur prolly just jealouse and if it was sped up look at his facial expressions they dont change fast and the audience clap would be alot faster and some of them even talk so its not sped up.

[IPstixrawesume]

@xSpadezHD Fuck Avon: SOUND OF NORTH!! I don't care if you guys won 3 times in a row: all that says is that you have money. And also, you're 11 months late because I don't give a fuck about rudimental/marching percussion anymore, since the only real career in that is teaching. Conversely, I am going to college on a scholarship where I am studying drum-set under one of the most sought-out clinicians, recording, and Broadway drummers to walk the streets of NYC. So no, I am not jealous at all.

[SpacemanDobby]

...i wish i had those skills...

[wolfgangtmac]

Incredible guy! First saw him on Blast, but this is the solo that made me a fan.

[jbaden21]

jeff taught me the windmill stick trick and played this solo for me and some other kids when i was in the sixth grade. hes incredible

[m63shredder]

That one snare sounds like a spock... wtf...

[glareonthesnare]

i wish he taught at my school :(

[aznkid0505]

i saw him perform dat solo last night at my high school,

phenomenal

[srijankiller]

he's the machine.............snare machine gun actually

[GCHSdrumline]

anyone have the music for this?

I'm willing to trade.

[fhssnare]

its in his boook which is the best battery exercise book i have seen so buy it.

[xclabaughx]

yah i saw jeff a couple weeks ago.

he was amazin!!!!

[whatthehelljohnny]

I saw this live today! =]

Jeff Queen's a badass!

[jbott826]

ha! this guy below me cracks me up!

[furretfan450]

Serious you guys talk like he's jesus incarnate but to me he's just a regular guy.... who gives me private lessons

[drumfantic4562]

he teaches at avon, that is one blessing to be at that school and to be taught by him

[drumfantic4562]

ya dude thats jeff queen hes already one of the best, hes has potential, to be the best in the world

[taylorbrinneman]

it looks and sounds to me like a lot of the content in this is from his glory days in blast haha. still supurb non the less

[Deeterman20097]

I have been playing drums for about a month now, and i think this guy has the potential to be pretty good, Alls you half to do is keep practicing man, and if you need any pointers just check out my videos, I'm playing eights, but i start and stop a few times!

[AjaxHammer6]

uhhh...are talking about jeff queen?

he is considered one of the best so i dont know what you are talking about.

[BrettVano]

Indeed! 4 time world snare champ!

[furretfan450]

I take private lessons with him at my school

[tylerdrum07]

Do you go to the university of mobile?

[aceb52]

avon i take it?

[emokllrs8]

u are one lucky person

[led0zeppelin1977]

is the one on his left kevlar-headed? the one on his right sounds better IMO

[jimbmxer]

the one on his left is mylar

the one on his right is kevlar

[nefratum]

awesome job MAN XD DIZ IS NASTY

[Sickoflifebandleader]

He's one of the coolest and most awesome drummer s ever! So much he can do with just two sticks and to toms.....unlike Terry Bozzio who about 900x the pieces and doesn't do alot with it, lol ....though its still interesting.

[genskie24]

he isnt showing off. and if he is who the fuck cares? hes still awesome and has the fucking right to show off. so you haters fuck off!

[fergiewasserman]

Jeff Queen an amazing drummer its my GOD

Exelent Teacher!

[sharkseatchainmail]

jeff queen is the man!

[contepino]

great drummer and great teacher.

respect

[Lukescanlon]

I played with Jeff when he wrote this. He spent many a lonely night in a parking lot putting this together and about 10 years of practice. He has a responsibility to push the envelope so someone else can see what is possible. You guys have no business questioning his character. I can tell you Jeff is a self-confident guy, but he is pretty humble. He doesn't have a reason to show off.

[NJballers4lyfe]

OMG he's so fast it looks like fast forward.

[moonroach6207]

your supposed to show off during a solo. thats why your hte only one playing. what better way to showcase your own talent by showing the fuck off. how fucking stupid are you people?

[crg777]

Jeff Queen is an amazing drummer... no question! He's not being "cocky", he's trying to entertain by being "flashy". There's a difference. Now, playing with your shirt off... THAT's COCKY!

[cLOUDDEAD]

I don't really see him showing off in this... he just seems really into what he's playing.

And if I'm wrong and he IS showing off, who cares?

[Viper4Neo]

I've actually spoken with him in person and seen this performed live in a private demonstration. He's really one of the nicest people I've met. I also own a copy of the entire Tribute solo, and it's very "show-offy." It's the way he wrote it. But think about it, he's marching DCI and Blast, and now is a DCI instructor. It's kind of hard not to show off. :)

[AlphaFalconX]

He acts so cocky in this video, and extremely show-offy. It's unnessasary.

[crazyjared2]

who cares he's better than you. =D

[AlphaFalconX]

I know he's better than me at showing off.

[crazyjared2]

and better at playing too. i dont see you doing clinics and playing on blast.

[AlphaFalconX]

I never said anything about his skill. I was talking about the way he portrays himself. Shouldn't you be eating McDonald's or doing homework or something?

[SFALLOY]

You wanna see a cocky dude showing off, catch the Mike Managini video on YOUTUBE. It's the video with him with no shirt on. No shirt on - that should tell you who he is into right there. He's a great drummer don't get me wrong, but jeez what a conceited punk.

[AlphaFalconX]

Wow he's good but cocky as shit

[MorbidDeadGuy]

He's a great snare drummer, but I really don't care for his writing. There's so much extracurricular garbage, wasted time/space in my opinion. Not a blast solo fan at all.

[blackquad925]

dis nigga iz a snare drum GOD!

[KingVeit]

jeff queen is absolutely great. his technique is so perfect. i have his dvd. i love it. he is great, and i would not say that he is cocky. he is just confident, but for doing what he does, you need to be confident.

so jeff, go on. u are the greatest!

[gcorneli24]

well, when you noticed his arms, keep in mind he uses the Moeller grip

[tallone2012]

idk grips i just know that what he does in the beginning is very similar to what johnny rabb does lol

[tallone2012]

he kinda looks like he learned some of his tricks from johnny rabb

[kingofshred1]

dude you need to realize that he is a showman, his technique isn't bad he's trying to be flashy that's why his arms are moving around so much. Jeff Queen is one of the best rudimental drummers in the business.

[aceb52]

he is really a kool guy i met him at avon middle school and he kiks everyone's ass

[charliegfrenz]

He sounds good but I can't help notice how disgusting his technique is, His arms are everywhere

[dbaerg]

wrong. this guy has some of the best control and technique in the entire business.

[blueman580]

dude they sound good one is a kevlar marching snare and the other is just a normal head he came and jammed out with our drumline a couple days ago and he played this it was pretty bad ass

[GEODUCKSrule]

he teaches me drumline stuff like snare and tenors

[IQuanaCentersnare]

Both snare's sounds like shit...

[GEODUCKSrule]

dude wtf are you talking about you asshole im taking private lessons with him right now and he is so cool i dont know ahats been in ur ass latley

[littlesnareboy]

wow u study under jeff? I want to but i have the feeling he doesn't live anywhere near me, is it possible for him to help me over the internet? what does he teach u guys?

[MadCoSnareLine]

what do you mean hes cocky? if he is he has every frikin right to be lol

[joedrummer14]

That video with Travis doing rudiments is kinda boring. He should stick with the set

[Brizzle293]

Ok first of all anyone whos saying jeff queen is an ass obviously hasnt met him, because Ive been takin private lessons from him for the past 3 years and hes not an ass at all. 'you guys need to quit talkin shit unless uve met him.

[bozziofan01]

he really isnt such an ass i met him he was pretty cool with me

[Mikelikes2rock]

Jeff Queen is the shit

[Catholicdrummer]

Describe your experience

[snarecaptain09]

this is pretty cool Queen might come to a music store near my school and teach a clinic with my drumline

... but that won't work that well since Queen's a god and my drumline's a p.o.s.

[snaredrummer253]

im learning how to play this, i can play up to about 47 secs now, lol, yay

[SVkrunkness09]

Jeff Queen is a asshole and thats it I asked him to signhis signature stick and he completely blew me off.

[juanbrujo12345]

dude that sucks , i hate when assholes like him think they are superior than someone.

you should have kick him right in the balls

[sanctusignis]

I have the sheet music for this solo...what I want to know is at 1:56 how does he make those left hand backsticks look like the Casey Claw?

[DesiPIMPnLuvinIt]

u have the sheet music?..can i c it?

[DesiPIMPnLuvinIt]

can i c the sheet music to this...?

[sanctusignis]

I could, but I'd have to get my scanner up and running, and I dunno where the hell the installation software is for it.

[sanctusignis]

Hmm...please tell me more about this. I totally didn't see it in him when I met him both at PercUp! and at NAMM. He seemed really nice

[sanctusignis]

He wasn't when I met him...

[marcjb401]

His singles are really sick.

PS No one can be a bigger asshole than David Copperfield. At least Jeff Queen didn't push me after I saw Blast.

[Neboel23]

As good as he is, he's too conceited!

[Duffman97]

I agree.

[AjaxHammer6]

yea i heard about that.

how do you guys know?

[XTravisX]

if anybody ever said that travis barker was better than jeff queen to my face, i would beat his ass

[maakheru001]

hhahahaahahahahaha....

[Gopod]

you are an idiot lol..

[compakdisk]

travis is better

[Darkeagle22]

You are a fool. In the one video we see Travis doing rudimental drumming it is NOWHERE near comparable to Jeff.

[youlikethis36]

u need to quit life seriously never speak again...

[WeRockU]

youre a dick travis blows ass holes

[MadCoSnareLine]

r u crazy or sumtin, i could whoop travis at snare, travis shouldnt even be mentioned in jeff's presence

[carazyasian]

haha stupid.

[sanctusignis]

Jeff Queen is god...

[guitarplayer90210]

dang dude!
