[alastairerrett]

[PhatsouL87]

[miamivicepastels83]

[kiahrogers]

This is how I want to produce. No computers. Just hardware...

[PistonsNr1]

@kiahrogers

Actually computers are hardware ^^

[kiahrogers]

@PistonsNr1 Lol...I mean with only audio equipment not related to computers...

[RtothaO]

Hard beat Quest!

[donrenato]

Quest! What about Don Johnson's record? I bet it fits into the "unusable" category as well! oH WAIT.......weren't there 2 Don Johnson records......

[pb0o6]

I really wish I just see them work in the studio, and hear what they talk about, and learn from them. I live in philly too. That would be like the best internship of my life.

[dmuhsin]

Quest U r the f'n man!!

[SpockJenkins]

[ManUnited013]

@RawmanK oxymoron

[RawmanK]

Young or canadian? Wit comes with specificity.

[poncho2211]

that was dope

[therealsuffolksoul]

Quest believes in some duct tape on drums and cymbals lol

[stupidfli]

and he turned water into wine

[cllamont]

Why not just actually play some of your own music rather than go through that trouble to use someone else's?

[dreamopeth]

brilliant, is that a yamaha brass snare? I have the exact one as that I think. You get a nice crack out of it don't you. Wide tuning range.

[CivilIllEnt]

I have been playing this beat for months not knowing you had a video for it. Hot.

[Knk082]

@CivilIllEnt You know a link where I can find the beat? kinda hard finding it on twitter.

[LLMelvinL]

Still sick, hope you psot some more.

[proni1]

who knew that nigga had an album. anybody could have made an album in the 80s..... for example eddie murphy

[ReallyGeekyChick]

[DCBeats]

Hangin' with Dilla does wonders with beatmaking skills. The video and beat was dope. ?uest, drummer to drummer, you made step my game up. Thanks for the inspiration, ?uest!

[VitalKngOdrums]

thanks for sharing this with us man

[woodnskins]

My dude Hassaan rip this on OkayPlayer

[genesis73]

what does that tape do?

[blo0mer]

you hear it @ 3:04

[Leftfootbeats]

It compresses the sound by limiting the vibrations.

[NOGiovanni]

Finish copy = too valuable to leak huh?

[ericsaywhaat]

quest did release the mp3 via twitter

[IdeaTherapy]

you can find the track on the site '22tracks' in the beat section. he also released it on twitter.

[mmixon]

Astonishing.

[bigoldeteddybear86]

One word.......Genius

[GiantGemini]

Again...gotta respect the craft. I'm feeling this joint with either Phonte or some Slum Village. Shoot, I'll take a instrumental, it don't even need words.

[ThommyWillB]

DOPE

[CR00K]

Quest, you're the man. That is all.

[ma7t93]

[lilvicfirth]

[JackBanger]

Str8 heat... I wanna work wit you dood.

[ArhythmticProduction]

Dope.

[purity4your11]

[Logrithmic]

questo got me loopin youtube audio from making the beat vids like 'damn..." joint is crazy

[cerebrawler]

Is this the competition you used to have with dilla?

[sinistaakadjcp]

Soulful! very...very...very...very soulful!

[FunkyRob]

So, have you made a how to be a cool ass drummer dvd yet?

I just looked up that LP on allmusic(dot)com. I see he's got a song called "Fish and Chips". With a title like that, I'm sure there's some usable funk in there somewhere.

[earl2thab]

Dope Quest!!!

[belmie]

this joint is crazy. we need a mp3! please...

[bubbabear244]

yay, finally a new vid from questo. btw questo, do u find jimmy fallon genuinely funny?

[dwelch4]

impossible to find that clown funny

[fingazfunk]

The king of the hip-hop pocket! The Steve Gadd of

soul music! What was once a horrible creation has been turned into a thing of musical beauty.

And Gaff tape. You could probably mend a broken bone with it. LOL!

[DIRTYDUNNZ]

hot to def...

[Spidey2391]

Crazy good man ! typical ?uest

[TllGrrl]

Gaffer's tape: the Universal Tape of Goodness. i used to use it (or sometimes duct tape) on my ballet slippers and my jazz shoes to keep them from ripping apart when they got real broken in! LOL!

[thanks4tuningin]

tha wtas so hot

[HalSamuel]

Haha, when a problem presents itself, Questlove uses gaffa tape. You know what they say, if you can't fix something with gaffa tape, your not using enough

[Jaysun0000]

Wonder if this jam could have De La Soul or Slum Village featuring in it???

[5xL]

could definitely hear SV on this. maybe tribe.

[Moog167]

Gotta love that Gaff Tape!!

[shotteebwoi1O2]

why did he use it? mind u, im not familiar wit playin the drums, lol

[Moog167]

Drums vibrate....causing them to ring...Gaffers Tape is a special tape not only for stages but for drums because they cut some of the "ring" out the drum sound and they don't leave a residue on the drums

[shotteebwoi1O2]

oh ok, thanx!

[Pathugh]

Always experimenting...Nice one ?uest. PAT

[yellabro]

I was crackin up when you tweeted this, and now to see it... crazy

[Armeniacolombia29]

Stuff like this are gonna be on the next Roots album? I would love to hear more.

[wicksjm]

Man that was great. Thanks so much.

Rock it...Wicks

[hschroy]

[froman46992]

music is a passion of mine making it is my weak part "P

[iamjappyjesus]

You aren't the only one who feels that way haha.

Just keep practicing and trying your best though....the talent shall come sooner or later...

[ejdubbs]

[cokeandbuns]

[sooaape]

[kingmichele27]

Another joyous use 4 Duct tape. Very interesting the mic: 25yrs ago, the further away from my drums the betta.

Best use of that album so far. Now ya got club or beach party muzak. Melt that record into a nachos bowl & call it a day.

[theobserver317]

You rule for this! You RULE! Crockett and Tubbs for LIFE!

[Mac3737]
