Hi John, Thanks for your continuing contributions to the art of drumming, and to drummers. Could you recommend a list of "essential" Tony Williams recordings (your personal favorites?) -- with the understanding that nothing Tony recorded could be deemed "unimportant". Thanks, Tom

Thanks for your contribution to drummers arround the world!.An punctual question..how do I recognize playing behind,at center,or on top of time?...its about playing "micro-seconds" before or after the beat?...its just about feeling?...its frustrating to me!...help me please mr Riley!

I started playing drums recently, I have been able to get drum lessons from my band director Mr. Allen, he showed me a lot about jazz, thats when i decide to learn to play drums. He told me the only why to learn jazz drums is through your books. He was right, thank you Mr. Riley for you books and all of your knowledge you have given to beginners.

John I started playing jazz with the help of your books, but it wasn't until I got your DVD that everything started to really come together for me. Can't wait til the next one. Thanks!
