| Dear John Riley, in my solos I have learned how to make pretty good sounding solos, but I have gotten to a point that I almost want to hear melody in them, as if it was a sax solo or a piano solo. I feel that all I have is rythms and grooves. Most people can really understand what a sax player feels or thinks during a solo, but not really drummer, they just play. Is there a way to achieve that? |

| Hello John, in February you had a page on the Drummerworld site on Question and Answer solos. Is the mp3 file from that page still available as I would like to hear what its meant to sound like. |

| Hi John
I'm writing an essay on drum coordination and would like to ask you some questions, regarding the educational or pedagogical aspect of it.
If you say yes I will send them in another message.
Thank you |
