Maybe so, but outside of this pond, he's definitely talked about in other places.

Since you're the topic starter, what is it that you'd like to discuss about Questlove?

fretai03 · « **Reply #4 on:** December 17, 2007, 05:15:02 PM »

Why would he be considered as an "under rated" drummer?

Ditto.

...and that's words! Much respect to and for ?love. Sabe and I was talking about him 2 weeks ago. I have every (every) album/EP of The Roots. Respect!

he has been one of my favorite self taught drummer and he has been in hiphop struggling since da beginning

I've been a fan of his since The Roots first debuted. He is one of the top groove masters in the game. He may not be talked about as much as other drummers, but he works the most. His playing is understated, yet powerful. He respects his job, which is to hold the groove down. Much respect.

I dont think he's under rated. Cut that afro off and you have a regular cat. In some cases, image can play a big part. Ive never heard him play anything that wasnt 1 2 3, A B C. And the one chance I thought I would get to hear him open up, (The Philadelphia Experiment) I was fairly dissapointed, like, ok I gues he really is just a 1 2 3, A B C kind of player.

I understand where you cats are coming from too, but not everyone can play "123 ABC." If that was the case we would all be getting that phone call. Just because I can play "123 ABC," doesn't mean I can make it FEEL like Quest, Steve Jordan and let alone Steve Gadd. They hold those intangibles and that's why they get called back (let alone they know everyone in the business LOL). However Badu's Mama's guns is definetly one that you need to listen too, his drumming is really tight on that man.

He's never underrated he is pockett king hands down the man is so clean and solid if you didn't no his playing he sounds like a track playing ya'll remember erika badu song you got me writing by jill scott she did with the roots and at the end of the song that was bro ?uest love killing so never underrated one of my favorite top drummers

oh and btw, ?love was the MD for this project, so enough said LOL!!! That album is crazy too....

Speaking of ?uest ......I was just watching this clip a few days ago. He speaks about the use of the ribbon mics and I never had anyone "tape a t-shirt to the front of the kick for maximum punch." I tried it on my 22" Rockstar kick w/Remo Powerstroke 4 head and it did give it a unique sound on the recording. I don't like to use the same sounding kit on every song, so I will definitely use that in the future. God Bless
