John, are the written materials from the MD 2011 Masterclass available somewhere?

Hello John, huge fan of your playing and study materials. Been working my way through newest installment 'Master Drummer' and its very motivational and challenging (and the advice you give is spot on). Anyways a few years ago I had the opportunity to meet Ingrid Jensen, and when I listed Bill Stewart as one of my favorite drummers she told me that she used to live with him, and that he would play along to jazz records for up to twelve hours a day, with big headphones on! This really motivated me, but I found myself always jumping around from artist to artist and song to song, never really finding an exact routine that worked for me. My question is, can you give me advice on how I should approach this aspect of practice, and/or a list of recordings that are great play alongs that perhaps I am overlooking?

Thanks Mr Riley for your drums methods. They are very nice to practise. I'm very fond of the way you play drums. Sincerly yours from France.
