Without a doubt one my favourite musicians in the world today, Questlove ( or ?uestlove as he is sometimes known ) is the drummer for hip-hop/soul band The Roots. This album is a collection of instrumental cuts performed by Questlove with the band and also other artists he has collaborated with over the years. The tracks flow between jazz, funk, soul and hip-hop with the common thread being Quest's heavy, raw drumming style. There is only one track I'm not keen on so I will happily give this record 14 out of 15 Frolics.

Yes excellent stuff - but most of these tracks seem to be sampled breaks rather than live drumming?

shame really that such a lauded drummer often doesn't drum much on record?
