Jeff Queen - Long Roll

[EliotKrupa]

Jason Bourne - Long Roll.

[LIGHTRONIX]

why not double stroke roll?

[SasquatchGroove]

@LIGHTRONIX thats what hes doing....

[Yamaha6Drums]

hey...umm does myler have a more traditional sound than kylar?

[ChristopherJStorey]

@Yamaha6Drums Kylar? Do you mean Kevlar? If so, then yes plastic heads get a much more traditional open sound. Kevlar heads you can get much tighter and are harder to break but have a more tabletop sound.

[percussiontech1]

He is one of the few people in this world who actually make mylar sound good.

[gitchigoomi]

I bet that snare is loud as hell in the room he's in. Jeff, can you still hear?

[personaltip]

Good teacher. You are nice

[Bquickmasters1]

437826able he is using pearl cc as a mylar head and he uses. And that swiss cheese looking mesh thing on the bottom of his drum is called the Evan Staccato disk and it mutes the bottom head. His bottom heads are Evans MX5

[347826able]

what type of head is that

[CrazyQuadPlaya937]

powerstroke

[prestage2010]

jeff queen's a jerk.

[thecaleb1000]

Really? I heard that he is a really nice dude

[alexfwilson]

sick wrong mang. went to college with jeff recently. couldn't be a nicer and more driven dude.

[titanium9000]

Maybe he didn't like you :.(

[DancingMonkey12]

@prestage2010 are you kidding? i've met him several times...he's not only an insanely good snare drummer, but he's also an extremely nice person.

[vinnypapa63]

when you do this stuff at the end are u actually articulating the double roll with ur fingers or are u just riding and controlling the bounce of the stick. i have alot of trouble differentiating. just need some tips. thx

[Evanespant]

@vinnypapa63 u are using ur arms but in moderation..k u use ur fulcrum(when your thum and forefinger come together) u apply sleight pressure to the fulcrum essentially "pushing" the diddles out

[vinnypapa63]

thx for the help

[littlesnareboy]

I've noticed that my hands don't sound exactly the same. But Jeff's don't either if you listen carefully. Is that okay?

[Evanespant]

could be the sticks not pitched

[PeanutButterGorilla]

@Evanespant yeah, if he's using vic firth they never are....

[theycallmejones]

very informative

[strwbrryshrtck12]

SWEET!

[scerda34]

to much arm not enough wrist

[TH3FR3AKY1]

JEFF QUEEN RULES!!!! And I can do that. Im pretty fucking sweet too.

[ejishere123]

yea i am not trying to go fast....

[jgod234]

mad hot he sound like a airplane (chopper)

[Nathan1138Ammons]

Jeff Queen is such a bad ass he plays snare drum in a dungeon.

[DrummerBoyJustin]

greatest comment ever Nathan

[atomikfzr1]

This mother fucker is straight nasty.

[FatGocks]

Hahaha great comment!

[TheCampbell808]

@Nathan1138Ammons thats hilarious

[WhatTheTech]

@Nathan1138Ammons Wtf does that mean lol

[BCHSs0ccer]

this is kinda like trying to criticize Lebron James in basketball or Peyton Manning in football..this isn't a video of some kid saying "what do you think eh?" its a video saying, if you want to be a drummer, you better do it like this..shutup about arm height or stick height or whatever, it doesn't matter, he's a world champion

[fabethebabe88]

10 fuckin 4! he's actually teaching... so ppl should recognize his professionalism! i agree.

[yeahyeahyeahyeahya]

No, it's a video of "this is how I do this so maybe you could work on this and improve your drumming."

[berg16]

Any of you realize this guy is a snare drum champion? I like how you're trying to tell him what to do. lmao Oh, well.

[punkfan91]

i was always told to use whatever god gave you

now when i play i only use arm and wrist perfectly

is that bad?

[anthascurses24]

hes good but stick hight is terrible

[kmvalan]

hes using his whole arms

[jthmlover1]

yea i wouldn't be surprised if his arms started to hurt after a while, doing that

[Timsta1010]

i hear roflcopter greatness

[BurntToast355]

WRONG. You're supposed to rebound every stroke no matter how slow it is.

[taters159357]

who do you think is a better drummer?

[BurntToast355]

Murray Gusseck, Colin McNutt, Glen Crosby, Brian Stevens, and more.

[taters159357]

no. You or him? im gonna take a guess that he is better.

[BurntToast355]

wouldn't you like to know........haha

[Nile505]

im surprised he switched the name up for this double stroke open roll

[drumsticknow]

It is called The Long Roll and has always been so!

[Autobots1280]

I have this DVD, go buy it, it is great!

[PastTheFence1986]

Used to watch this video every day, and I still do whenever I have the time. Definitely a must have.

[xavycam]

li mortacci tua! :D

[xx33bryanxx]

Helicopter?? lol

[westhofer8]

ya. i would consider that pretty damn consistent.

[randylikesdrums]

i must say he is one of the only marching style drummers i can tolerate watching because his technique is excellent. I hate the sound of all marching shit. Jeff Queen is great stuff though.

[socialoaf]

how come you hate marching percussion?

[maple1659]

GET OFF MY DICK WOO!

[aaron5544]

nice double stroke roll

[bltsponge]

Holy sound quality, bat man!

[maple1659]

DEF NOT AS GOOD AS JIM FITZPATRICK

[woo10thehen]

you're a fucking moron!!! do you know who jeff queen is?? my God just shut your ignorant ass up because you sound really stupid

[bcarson27]

I had my first lesson with Jeff today

he asked me to do a long roll.

[sebastianrocker]

chingon.

[dtgodportnoy]

he is very mediocre when coming to running down the long roll he jumps around its suposed to be much linger then like a minute but his roll at top speed is very nice

[drunknboxing7619]

so who plays on plastic heads anymore?

[MusicisMYlife210]

they are called mylar actually, and high schools, even some colleges use them and they work just as well, it's only depends on the kind of sound you want

[Drumzarntmistyle]

sounds liike a helicopter:P

[BrandonTheDude]

YEAH!!!

[therealTOTOfan]

i thought this is the "double stroke open roll" ???? isn'T the long roll double strokes but with accents on the second ? so: rRlL ??

[sexykitten914]

i think what is meant by "long roll" is that it's done over a longer period of time. like, it's not a 9 stroke roll, or 17 stroke, or 33 stroke, etc. It's just long, and an uncounted number of times :) it is an open roll though. i'm not sure exactly why it's called open :(

[therealTOTOfan]

yeah yeah. right. i had all those rudiments written down on a piece of paper and the "long roll" has been transcripted so weird that i didn'T know it was just this basic open roll lol. yeah i know what it is. thanks anyway! :)

[dotdadee]

In the old days (NARD rudiment chart)

open meant slow and closed meant fast, probably in reference to the strokes being larger when open and shorter when played faster.

Now, it's possible that "open" would mean double strokes and "closed" means multiple strokes as in a buzz roll or pressed roll. I've always refered to a pressed roll only being much softer than a buzz roll but both having more than 2 strokes with each downstroke.

[IHATEPLAID]

no one cares... plus i bet u prolly cant do ANY roll THAT clean and EVEN... and one more thing do more reseach before you comment.... THANK YOU COME AGAIN!

[ebag101]

dude youre a fag....

[StonedTortoise]

Well, this IS an instructional video about rudiments, and not only that but he said he doesn't care how fast he does it but how CONSISTENT his sound is.

[hardcorexblondie13]

Jeff is an awesome drummer and an amazing guy

unless you know him you have no room to talk.. and i know him he teaches the drumline at my school.. which i happen to be in

[fergutronic]

if that's true than you are one lucky fuck dude

[AdamHolmez]

i don't see why i've read so many comments about jeff being a sucky teacher, i've enjoyed his teaching videos from what i've seen.

[furretfan450]

I take private lessons from him at my school

[gkdrummerboy]

How does he play so smoothly, the bounce after the stroke is usually quieter.

[drumrguy]

Ah, shut up you noobs. Jeff Queen is way awesome, just by his videos, I've learned a lot from him and I'm even better just by watching him. I bet none of you have close to the hands he's got, or know someone who does.

[MrMatthewsToYou]

you need to stop opening your idiotic mouth.

[hateisathing]

and what exactly do you do that is more worthwhile than this?

[lindberg711]

you're an idiot...drumrguy meant that he has gotten better because of jeff, he wasn't saying he's better than jeff...

[randylikesdrums]

does he sniff cocaine?

[IHATEPLAID]

very very random.......

[teiscoxx]

Very Good....but I don't understand why modern marching drums sound like a wood block?

[itzbeats]

he's playing on a plastic head... its getting a pretty wet snare sound. what more do you want?

[upsm]

este video es bueno para akellos principiantes

[hunt12887]

Why does he let go with his left hand?

[InuYashatheGreat]

Wow, look at that lean! He looks like a diciple of Thom Hannum with that lean.

I have a quick question. What's the point in all that leaning if you can either raise or tilt the drum?

I like Thom, and Queen's a good player, but that is just wasted energy and bad for your back.

[jroblee]

It's nice to see someone questioning Jeff Queen. I remember watching him in Mississippi in 1993. He played dirty then. He played dirty in 1994 and 1995. The guy is a fine player and was fast as hell but he should not have won individuals in 94 or 95.

[InuYashatheGreat]

Yeah, everyone makes him out to be so over, but he's not the greatist.

[littlesnareboy]

No, he's not the greatest, but he is very good

[jayflash87]

I'm not a band drummer but I do want to learn how to

do double strokes and that kind of stuff I can match the sound of a double stroke but I only do singles with left hand and triples with right hand and that is not right cause I could be so much faster if my left hand was fast like my right hand

[ladrummerstrangiato]

why is that so hard lol....been playing for 5 years and god...i just dont understand!

[aceb52]

i met him he is really cool!!

[aybassace]

lets hear your roll quality, bro

[JackScrot]

informative at best lol

[pupdrummer]

shut up b4 you get hit. Jeff Queen is a legend.

[ChronosXD]

Actually, it's refreshing to hear someone play consistent tonal quality. I'm guessing you couldn't hear it, and thus don't understand.

[JackScrot]

sorry if you guys took it the wrong way but i wasn't saying he's not great to watch or hear. i thought most people would not take it wrong, sorry if i made a bad impression. it's a great video and i did add it to my favorties.
