[@morganneher8643]

So, we need as much John Riley as humanly possible! Glad to see him making videos like this!!!!! Thank you!!!!

"You hear a balance between the wood and the whole rainforest of sounds inside the cymbal." - JR

[@powbobs]

Poetry

[@ZenonMarko]

I love that phrase "the whole rainforest of sounds inside this cymbal".....very creative way to describe (and envision) the sonic possibilities.

[@mallorga1965]

Yeah. I've always thought that, if you listen carefully, you can find the sounds of the ocean, the rain or the many leaves of a tree caressed by the wind in a cymbal.

[@Steffentrommelt]

This is a lesson - instead of playing impossible thing. He gives some ideas with a lot of knowledge behind. Old school - but it works. Even his shirt is ironed old school - but that is the way it was for a long long time

[@boomerguy9935]

I am so glad John explains how important it is to explore all the areas of the cymbal for getting the different and specific sounds you can get. Not everyone gets that. Likewise, the same cymbal can get different sounds with different types of sticks. I actually have different stick bags with specific combinations of sticks for different venues to go along with different cymbal sets. My small "cocktail" size kit like the one in this video has many, many different potential sounds because of what John is describing. Great video, as usual!

[@panpeeker]

Love the sound of that ride cymbal!🥁

[@hanscarmona9269]

This man is fantastic! Old school!

[@jodyguilbeaux8225]

what a great teacher.

[@ZenonMarko]

Fantastic. I love John Riley's calm, clear, explanations...the wisdom of a musical lifetime shared with us.

[@austinstokes7858]

Man I love John Riley

[@user-zx6lf5so4w]

I like his tutorials he really gets into the mechanics and the art of drumming, he also has a technical way of playing that I like as well , his drumming is absolutely awesome thank Mr. Riley

[@giuseppestabile184]

Amazing John Riley! He is my favorite drummer and teacher!

[@luiszuluaga6575]

I enjoyed Riley’s tone of voice as he outlined the fundamental approach to playing the ride. He’s got a nice sound and touch on his drums.

[@markmahoney9546]

Hi John! Great to see and hear you again! Keep swingin'!

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Thanks, will do!

[@Massimo.Pizzano]

John is a great teacher I like this lesson ☝️☝️

[@user-jh8ov8pi3l]

Nice! Thanks for the lesson!

[@dawnnwilliams2946]

Thank you. This was very helpful to me as a 2 year bass player just starting to play with other musicians.

[@robertreynolds5663]

Thanks for adding the captions for us deaf guys.

[@aaronreeves8376]

[@wannabeadrummer]

[@stratmister009]

[@andycanona]

Very well done 👍🏻 Excellent lesson. Great teacher. Explanations are spot on. Length, content, delivery, editing - everything is absolutely perfect in my opinion. I learned a lot. Thanks!

[@ottodude555]

WOW that ride cymbal has some crazy bass to it.

[@patrickwinkler5302]

Excellent lesson and demonstration of this rhythm. Thank you!

[@orenico96]

great video. Love the part about Papa Joe Jones and also the explanation about different parts of the cymbal. Looks like a 22" Constantinople, if I'm not mistaken.

[@sergiocerditoloureiro6810]

[@drumrolz3155]

Nice video!

[@JulianFernandez]

the man!

[@stergos60]

what is the spicific cymbal set up shown in video?

[@mogollonsalcedo]

Maestro

[@chuckc7375]

Sometimes I’ll play the ride closer to the bell and it sounds good to me. If I’m playing a washier ride I have more colors to use than a very dry ride. I use both types and I don’t hear any difference using the joe Jones method or just playing the ride without separating the triplet from one side to the other. The sweet spot on the ride is obviously the place where most of your playing will be, to me using different parts of the ride makes for a more interesting sound, but that’s just me.

[@trevormcmanis]

American One Productions Rehearsal and Drum Studios in NJ gives two huge thumbs up 👍🏻🥁👍🏻. Fantastic Video! Thanks for sharing 😃

[@LVErecordings]

Nice vid. Thx. Please what mic is it for oh ? M160 ?

[@LVErecordings]

@@ArtOfDrumming cool. Thx for the reply. Hyper cardio on purpose for this special ride vid or also for more general setup ?

[@MrAlasoft]

The man is 'the' teacher ..

[@bkell645]

Love the sound of your ride cymbal. What cymbal is it?

[@aidanschram9652]

Looks like a K constantinople "22"

[@LuminorBeats]

@@aidanschram9652 with rivets

[@GabrielGuevaraDrums]

What kind of cymbal is that to the right of the ride?

[@jbnh]

@@ArtOfDrumming Looks like a flat ride

[@josecarlosgonzalez9829]

Contantinople 20 Flat ride

[@mirolund5331]

Notice, with x-ray vision through my cymbal

[@KoenThomasOnDrums]

I certainly not an expert, but I learned this basic ride pattern in a slightly different way: 1, 2 (bounces to 2+ and again to) 3, 4 (bounces to 4+ and again to) 1 // That is, in one movement from 2 to 3, in one movement from 4 to 1.

[@johnboyle3297]

I had a lesson with Kenny Clarke and I learnt to count like you suggest. 1 2+ 3 4+ , along with using the HiHat to keep time

[@frankburdodrums8984]

Great lesson but here's an even more important thing to know than this. If you plan on making jazz your thing make sure you buy a $500 ride cymbal like he used here. Otherwise you watched this for nothing.

[@ishyparamio7507]

Thank you! Learned a lot today. Im a lil drummer boy and i would appreciate if u check my drum covers and give feedback for me to improve my hits. Thanks a lot! 😎😎😎

[@mflance7197]

Don’t you wish he was your teacher.

Kerope Zildjians

[@hannahstansfield4034]

Man , i mean we do have ears you know we know even that cymbals are round

[@gijsish]

He knows best, but doesn't swing.

[@itzallai2397]

And then you have about 20 years of practice before it sounds any good ahaha!
