Riley: Jazz Drummer's Workshop (Book & CD)

Celebrated drummer and tutor John Riley has created an in-depth method for the serious student of the Drums. Rather than simply giving you a set of exercises, Riley discusses conceptual drumming ideas including comping, time playing and soloing.

He then moves on to examine the styles of other drumming artists including Elvin Jones, Philly Joe, Billy Higgins and Tony Williams, as well as discussing the importance of technique, effective warm-ups and much more.
An accompanying CD features Riley performing many of the examples himself.
