Been playing since 1980. Teaching sparingly since 1987. This is a great John Riley type of exercise. Your one of the top teachers on RUclips. Keep it up!
thegoodfoot Cool. My copy of Jazz Drummers workshop is mostly falling apart since 2007. Learned all the difficult Elvin independance, mostly. But you could (should) do a bunch of videos out of both his books, too.
As far as I know, the authorship of these exercises corresponds to the late master Alan Dawson, who had many "ways" to interpretate Syncopation. Most of them, are in a book called "The Drummer's Complete Vocabulary, As Taught By Alan Dawson", written by John Ramsay (Berklee's teacher, today) and who was a long term student of Mr. Dawson. I felt they had to be mentioned here.

twelge15 thanks! Riley is one of my heroes for sure.
Well, Riley probably borrowed from Ted Reed's books. I think I had Syncopation back in the late 80's. I need to buy it again.
