Hello John, Quick question. Subject: Chp 28 of The Jazz Drummers Workshop, The Pyramid: On part 1, the first 4 bars of the exercise, does bar 2 and bar 4 have essentially the same sound? Also, where does the quarter note fall on bar 3? Does the quarter note within bar 3 "flam" with the exercise? Hopefully I'm making sense here. Thank you for continuing to be such a great teacher and player! -Dave

Hey Mr. Riley You came to my school last year in and played with my jazz ensemble. I recently purchased your books and dvd and I wanted to thank you for challenging me and inspiring me to take my playing to the next level. I will be moving to NYC in a year and I will make sure to come visit you at the Village Vanguard.
