Pharrell & The Yessirs. The Making Of "You Can Do It Too"

[fancydrummer]

Your shoes are dope......freshnikelookinass



[Fjord76]

Actually, he's way better than a MPC because:

1. He has a built-in record library culture so he has dope ideas and he got style.

2. If there's a power failure or an issue with the memory card or sthg, he still can play (nothing more embarrassing than being on stage with machines that ain't workin)

3. He's funny (not in this vid though ;)

4. He's special, so to get him, you have to be special too.

5. He's currently writing a book on his experiences in the music business (no MPC can do that)

[Richirida]

Haha! Classic stuff. ?uestlove using the kiddie sized kit makes it look like the hats r verging on the old school "low boy" style. Huuuuge amounts of love for the roots and ? i'm bummed i cant catch ur shows with John Legend in the UK man!!!!

[ludwigsupra]

quest, man, your sound is totally funky

[grassflat1]

sometimes in life there are those drummers that could make (besides a toy drumset) even simple kitchen utensils sound brilliant, this is the case here.

[Danielcrspo]

[Marceles45]

[fribinei]

[ProjectSR97]

[stepyacakeup]

i was wonderin where those jazzy ass drums came from on u could do it 2...

shit is dope.

[francogenio]

more importantly. ?uestlove, mah boy, you're badass. But you are dwarfed by the beautiful oberheim synth beside your pinner kit.

go roots!

[neopandorex]

Questlove IS THE BEST DRUMMER OUT THERE PERIOD. Portnoyd and stuff maaaaaaaaaaad respect.. but hes got the feelin

[Zoneto189]

You're fucking retarded. Check out danny carey mike portnov or Lenny white to start off.

[mattberry99]

Have some respect. ?uestlove....if he wanted to could play like mike portnoy and sit in for dream theatre, however portnoy could never do what ?uestlove does. Portnoy is paint by numbers, ?uestlove is MUSIC.

[punklai]

does it matter who is best or not?... they all wicked drummers. u just dis-respecting by comparing.

[JHPMB]

nah

u obviously know nothing bout drumming

[izzntay]

man that dude has some major hip hop blood flowing through his veins!

[funk4jazz]

Wow!!! I know how to tune my drums too. Lame video!

[punl86]

he's not the drummer from the roots?

[NYFinest9]

yea he is

[XMWolfie]

Yesh that is the same drummer from the Roots

[Mistercharming]

When is this joint coming out!! I GOTS TA GIT IT!!

Dangit! I couldn't find a jacked up way to spell "it". :0(

[Questionssm]

Questlove!

[scareglare]

Who ARE The Yessirs? I can't find any info on them...

I thought Pharrell produced his music by himself!

[masscommlarry]

The Yessirs are the rhythm section of the Roots. Pharrell and the Yessirs is a project through which Questlove and Pharrell made a live recording of Pharrell's In My Mind, and retitled it Out of My Mind

[dreil01]

i appreciate the Info

[XMWolfie]

The Yessirs are Pharrell's new lil' team of real Instrument players... and Pharrell doesn't produce all his music hisself. He has major help behind doors by Chad...

[Mark7even]

?ueso is my friggin mentor man i dun't care...

[Rnicolew]

Yeah hes right about lending ppl money-lol. Quest is a musical genius.

[Profilaktiks]

damn. he makes playing music look so simple.

i guess that comfort comes from years and years of practice.

[ckyfan2040]

the kick sounded like a trash can! horrible! AND U STILL MADE IT SOUND COOL!!!

[extrapulakatekel]

Gotta get me one of those...

[willingc8]

I remember that drume set- haha. Keep making music, dude, you're awesome!
