[@DrumsetFundamentals]

This man is such a legend... Thank you for uploading this, JPBouvet !

[@dennisdegen]

His Last words in the end are the Most Important ones. For people who ask „when do i Need this?“. So wise. Enjoyed this Video Pretty much

[@falconshock3677]

I'll be watching this man play at the Vanguard in two days, im so hyped

[@falconshock3677]

I met him, we talked about cymbals & I took a picture with him. Wonderful person.

[@williamayres4634]

We are informed by what we hear, by what we practice, by what we play. Eventually, we become a better version of ourselves as musicians. But we never stop exploring, improving, and HAVING FUN. As a bassist, John is a wonderful partner. Only had one brief encounter at a jazz workshop, but it was a real joyful experience.

John is the most badass of all drum nerds. -- The Master Drummer -- has been so essential in my own journey.

[@SONORSQ2guy]

This guy is phenomenal 👍

[@williamperri3437]

Well yeah, and that’s why he wrote the Art of Bop drumming!

[@francescoboccacci1468]

Maestro!!!! ❤

[@curtishill109]

All hail! One of the best instructional videos, on drums, was John Riley's VHS, back in the day.

[@drummusician]

I love that analogy at the end🤌

[@richspicer7818]

Great stuff John! I am learning a lot from you and from your books! Thanks so much.

[@stixplayer]

LEGEND!

[@yutuvicio]

Capo John Riley!!! ultra groso

[@paradidd]

John is an incredible player and educator. I was fortunate to get in about 8 lessons yrs ago was he was swamped teaching at many schools. Those lessons were invaluable for me to this day, That being said, I'm not a fan of this mathematical approach. I know it can work for certain folks, but thinking in terms of melodies is something I always try to do these days and only think mathematically when I have to, perhaps, when I need to analyze something, break it down etc. That happens of course. I don't mean to diminish John's video here or any of his videos or material. As a matter of fact, I don't think I can. Lol! I know John is a big proponent of melodic playing, phrasing etc.

[@CharlesTPrimm]

Such an extraordinary drummer & educator. The very best!

[@jpalfieri]

[@2strokeroll]

I’m pretty sure this is the video he’s referring to for the Buddy Rich lick kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5yVdpt4ipqLf9Esi=5CFJ1KPuoJgwB8Rs

[@drumting]

Thanks, that’s the badger! 🙏🏻

[@kennymik1509]

I think I should just go home.

[@mentalhermit]

😂😂😂😂😂 same feeling rn

[@jamesf.ryaniii7918]

What kind of snare drum is he playing? It looks like copper. I thought he was a through-and-through Yamaha maple snare player.

[@Schwartzdrums510]

such a consumate badass. Also i wasn't sure where he was going with the what comes out after eating chicken.....

[@ryancox5097]

4:27 Like a Las Vegas card dealer.

[@nokia-gm8gv]

damn

[@chris_d_r_u_m_s]

When you eat chicken what comes out is... Energy... Yes, energy... That's also what I was thinking. Definitely what I was thinking at that moment in time.

[@geevee7823]

Was that drummer you were referring to Pete Cater?

[@jbeezybeats]

I’ve been thinking of music lately as nutrition. If I don’t have a gig coming up, I’m more likely to listen to candy and sweets because it makes me feel good. If I have a gig coming up, I feel inclined to become a vegetarian. My main concern is getting enough calories each day. I want fats, proteins, and carbs. On the day of a gig, I need veggies, but I don’t necessarily need to be a vegetarian. Meat and potatoes is fine. If someone offers me a treat, I don’t have to deny it. The point it is, what are the means, and what is the end? What is going to get people dancing and stay on the dance floor, and also, even if nobody is dancing, what are people going to feel along with you?

[@davidkennedy8703]

Hmmm, roast chicken 😂

[@PauloMaxRiccardo]

I had stank face the whole time 😖😖😖😖

[@anthonymedina4152]

We all know John Riley.. is the master.. but does he seem a bit like a a punch drunk boxer compared to his prime? Just asking because prime John Riley was a beast among beasts..

[@seanoreilly1734]

That’s a bit rough….or should that be ruff ( maybe I’m getting punchy)
