Hi John. I was wondering if it's possible to get a copy of the handout brought at the 2017 MD festival? |

Hello Mr. Riley. I wrote you years ago and now I do it again. My name is Jaume Ginard and I write you from the island of Mallorca in Spain. I am a professional drummer and teacher. I have studied your books and I toguht them to my best students. I have to say very clear. These books are the best jazz books ever!! Very didactics, pedagogics, ..I love them. Congratulations. |

hello sir john riley
I'm happy to be able to share your story with you and before I apologize I often ask you a lot
my challenge as a drummer is more and more and my knowledge is not much but I am still passionate about learning and practicing .. I want to ask you a question?
1. How do I deal with the nature and behavior of someone in a team in the band (I'm tired of the way each player makes a lot of comments and criticisms, sometimes that makes me sad)?
2. As a drummer do I need to learn drumming with a teacher to improve quality as a drummer and be a good band player?
3. How can I as a drummer bring a band that I am playing to be enjoyed by all the audience and the drum punch that I produce is good to hear?
4 does a drummer need to hit a rimshot in each song played in a gig ... if indeed all the punches must be rimshot and what should I do to be able to have a change in becoming a drummer?
Thank you, Mr. John Riley, for your success in becoming a drummer |
