"The Art of Bop Drumming" by John Riley is in my top 3 method books of all time. If jazz drumming is something you either do or plan on doing buy that book now. Riley is a master that can also communicate well, a rare and priceless thing. Thanks for this video!
I'm sure one of them is syncopation for the modern drummer
@@dwarselars Yes, Jose Perez is right : Ted Reed's "Syncopation" book is a gold mine, but unlike John Riley's books Syncopation requires a teacher to guide you through it to get the full value. Riley's books on the other hand are expertly written, just follow directions and you are set. For a third book it depends on where you want to go with your playing: if you want a well rounded approach Jimmy Branly's "New Method for Afro-Cuban Drumming" is excellent. But if you want to focus all on swing then I recommend Riley's 2nd book "Beyond Bop Drumming" which has, among other things, excellent left foot patterns that will free up all 3 limbs to creatively comp against your ride cymbal ostinato.
One of my favorite books!
I agree. That book alone gives you years of studying.
What about stick control by george lawrence stone
Mr Riley that was Sooooooo sweet. Man I thought I was at a jazz concert. I really enjoyed this.
What a great ride sound, so fresh and hip, even in 2021.
Well, its expensive Zildjian...
You always get what you pay for ;-)
Indeed. Learned it the hard way. Best I was able to get for now is 20” K custom dark ride, like it a lot.
what a sound of those cymbals
one of the best drum teachers ever. that Flinstones analogy is 👌🏽👌🏽
One of if not the top teacher out there! The man is amazing!
Why doesn’t John Riley seems to get older? He is passionate about drumming and teaching. Have a nice day everybody😁
You're right!!

Riley Nice 🙂
Always a pleasure to watch.... I need inspiration in these times.... a big thank you! One question: what is the mic setup?
Hey Kyle
All mics used in this video are Beyerdynamic microphones..
The individual mics are: M99TG on the bassdrum, M201 on the snare, 2x M160 as overheads and another M160 to support the floortom.
If you need more inspiration make sure to check out the entire courses we filmed with John. Those are available for free here: artofdrumming.com/courses.
Thank u guyes! What a fast answer! 🙏
John, thanks for another great video. Can you post content on BD feathering? Looks like you are feathering the kick during the verse/chorus patterns, but off to hit the accents. Thanks, Michael
I need those shoes
Very nice. I learned 'the squeeze- after the first down stroke to give max speed. Same thing with the left hand. Maybe you could talk about that?
Thanks John for your feedback and suggestion!
I’d like hear the wrist technique addressed. Something different happens “down there”. That last hinge is worth noticing.
Open-Close technique. He talks about it in many of his videos about grip and stroke.
@john riley ... Fine Sir, did you ever teach private lessons at UB in the early-mid 80's?
I'm looking for a new/better ride and really love the sound of the one you are using. Looks like a Constantinople 22 but which one? Med thin high?
yes
Yubba Dubba Doo. That was amazing. But do young folks know who the Flintstones are?
Yes
Wil-l-l-m-a-a-a-a-a-a!!!
I'm new to Bop and swing drumming after years of rock and John's videos are great education and inspiration.
What are a short list of songs (not to simple nor difficult) that I can practice with. Any suggestions appreciated.
Grant green “Idle Moments” try to play to Jean de fleur
As we say here in Brazil: “Tocou pra caralho!” 😊 👏🏻
What does it mean?
@@waynesmith9990 something like: “He f***** nailed it” 😊

Capo!
If only my schools drums had functional pedals
fix em
Flintstones!!!!
Can anyone help me identify the cymbals he's playing? The ride and the crash sound great!
The ride is a 22 K Constantinople that Henry Cole picked at the factory and he decided it wasn't for him but he thought I would like it so he gave it to me and I do. The 20 is also a K Con that Paul Francis made for me based on an older 20 K Con I've been playing at the Vanguard for years. Glad you like them.
Flint Tones . Yes..
Grande fantasia e magia.complimenti
I didn't know Bill Gates played drums as well. But I love him
JR's heart rate was lower than when he started.
A little :-) painted on my thumb.

@@ArtOfDrumming Advanced Techniques for the modern drummer by Jim Chapin
Totally a must have for every drummer who’s seriously interested in learning the jazz vocabulary
I came here for the drumming and stayed for the Flintstones...
1:32 OMG he needs help.... ;-)
when drummers sing
Honestly, I do not like to play that fast! I like to groove, no matter the tempo! As for Mr. Riley.....👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I just never feel comfortable feathering at fast tempos. Did any famous jazz great not do it? I need an excuse
I think that all great players could definitely feather if they wanted to, but a lot of players, especially in the mid-60s and later, didn’t always do it.
For me being able to play faster then i have to helps alot. For example playing a 16th note groove with 1 hand at 90 bpm i get it up to 95 bpm and that helps to make 90 bpm alot more fomcortable to play at, even fills and stuff.
@@YanickDrums John Riley calls that 'headroom'. Like a sports car that can do 200mph can cruise along at 100mph without much effort.
@@thibodaux3424 I did not know that. Thank you.
Why can’t he be my neighbor?
