| John,
It was great to finally meet you in person a few weeks ago at Building 24 in Wyomissing, PA. I enjoyed the show tremendously and it was an honor to finally meet you in person. It's been 5 years since I've discovered your publications, and it has improved my playing hundredfold. Thank you for the fantastic explanations, and constant inspiration that you give to (I am certain) all of your students around the world.
Please check out my website SadikDrums.com whenever you have a free moment in your busy schedule.
Best Regards,
Sadik Akdogan |

| Hi Mr. Riley. I believe you know my brother Lou Pappas. He introduced me to when you played with the West Point Jazz band for PASIC event in the mid-90s. Been out of playing set for a long time to focus on symphonic playing, but decided a few weeks ago to start working on jazz again. I dug out my copy of The Art of Bop Drumming and went to work. Out of the blue got a last minute call to play for jazz bass masterclass taught by Wayne Darling. Floyd Darling was playing piano. I hadn't done any trio work in almost 25 years. Thanks to your book, I was prepared and the masterclass was a huge success! Thanks again for writing such a wonderful method. |
