5.0 out of 5 stars Wanna play like Elvin Jones? Here's how..., March 6, 2002
By Giuseppe Bianco (Matera, MT Italy) - See all my reviews
Another great book from John Riley. This is of course more challenging than "The Art of Bop Drumming", which should be read and studied thoroughly before digging into this one. The included CD is very useful. The post bop drumming is studied in a logical sequence, with in depth analysis of timekeeping and solo examples from the most important drummers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful book for drummers, June 5, 2000
By Jonathan Mayhew (Lawrence, KS USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've often enjoyed John Riley's columns in Modern Drummer magazine. He really knows how to present information in an accessible way. The charts are easy to read and the accompanying c.d. is excellent. A must for the aspiring jazz drummer.

5.0 out of 5 stars great book...., March 9, 2006
this book is a great learning tool from semi-pro to professional drummers that want to refine and improve their jazz and drumming skills. The audio cd that comes with the book offers great examples of the charts and exercises listed. It also lists other recommended listening and reading material. In my opinion, this is even better than the first book from John Riley. Anyone who buys this book will not be disappointed.
