What a legend. I've had the art of bop book for a few years and i never really took a deep dive into it. I started going through the one bar soloing concepts. Man, combined with benny grebs language of drumming ternary letter approach there are endless ideas even on one page. What an utter legend John Riley is for simplifying and demystifying a lot of this stuff, which sounds incomprehensible when played at a high level. Bravo, can't wait to get into the other books.

John's books are the very best. Brilliant musician and educator.

If could make a video version for these books will be a great help for most of us.

If John Riley started a podcast where he just read the phonebook, I’d subscribe

What are the cymbals you are using?

I'm afraid that this kind of artistry on drums is something we are losing day by day ... Pray for that little flame to never extinguish.
