Beyond Bop Drumming by John Riley is the acclaimed follow-up to The Art of Bop Drumming, expanding on the evolution of jazz drumming during the post-bop era of the 1960s. This comprehensive instructional book and audio resource explores advanced concepts such as broken time playing, ride cymbal variations, and modern rhythmic phrasing, making it an essential study for serious jazz drummers.

The book includes detailed transcriptions, solo analysis, and play-along materials designed to develop improvisation, coordination, and stylistic depth.
