Jim Riley is a fabulous teacher, very good at articulating grooves to his students.

This helps. I really struggle with the Train Beat.

Great lesson!! And an incredible drummer Mr. Riley is.

Outstanding. A great practical, usable clear lesson. Showing us groovy ass new wrinkles on a popular beat rather than just a chop to try to shoe horn in some place like you see so much of online. This is one that the guys I play with will appreciate. It never occurred to me to try train beats as double strokes. As soon as I heard it, I clicked pause and then off to the shed. Really fun stuff. I started messing with doing one single train, then one double train .. then two, four .. Ideally it would be awesome (and do-able) to be able to more or less vary those two train styles at will. Well, It's about an hour later and back at the video I see now that we have paradiddles and hands in unison. Good stuff. Best online lesson I've had in months. I have a New Year's eve jam tomorrow. Let's see if I can maybe get the double stroke thing good enough to take it out of captivity tomorrow night. I got more sheddin' to do.

great snare sound!

Great vid! Not sure how bored you’d have to be to use a parradiddle though! 😜

jim! when your next drum dojo?!? I need some training!

Cool!!

If you listen to little ritcherd’s Lucille it has that train beat sound also dubble time on the hi hats a nother train beat 🥁🚂

wow

I hear the train beat on little Ritcherd’s Lucille

Fricken Great! I absolutely love these short, well articulated, awesome tips for drumming! I'm a guitar player (check out MrSyCoe channel), but if I was the boss in a working group, I'd make the drummer watch every single one of these!!!
