Hmmm a good solo because not only is a great drummer he is a great musician! Who thought using dynamics could make something as great as sounding as this!?
the solo he plays in the beginning is a variation of the classic max roach "the drums also walts" ?uestlove is one of the most innovative drummers to come out in the past 30 years or so.
That drumset sounds great. Lots of reverb... is that from the room?? Is that a maple custom? I'm really interested in the snare he uses... what kind of snare does he use??
@goldensleeves His set is miked up like craazy, then they throw in reverb & mad low-end to the kick (makes it sound like thunder (no but for reals)). If you've ever been to a roots concert you'll leave with ur chest still thumping and ur ears ringing!! Oh and Kirk Douglas = severely underrated.

The whole thing is amazing but what puts it over the top for me is the tuba. I love how it contributes to the whole sound.

Im a drummer and a huge fan of Quest, but I must say i enjoy his groove, which is amazingly smooth and creative, much more than his solo.
much love

i think its a phx drum set, with a copper snare, sounds phat :)
mrsparklepimlico2 2 years ago 2
I don't think it is a phx! Its just got the new style lugs, similar to the phx. I'd say its an MCA

@goldensleeves yamaha maple custom abolute. i think reverb is from mix. snare is 4 or 3.5 x 14" yamaha brass snare (old one-old lugs)
sanch79 1 year ago
@goldensleeves The drums are Maple Custom Absolutes; the snare is a Yamaha Brass 14x3.5, like the David Garibaldi signature without blue finish.

@goldensleeves it's a Yamaha SD493 Piccolo Brass Snare and it's tuned pretty high to create that punchy and smooth sound!
