Jim Rilko

Below are a series of drum grooves that Jim improvised one night. He was jamming to a MIDI click at 120 bpm. All I did was turn on the record button. Then I took the resulting file and tried to break it down into smaller ideas. Feel free to cut and loop portions for practice. Let me know if you have any suggestions for organizing these better or if you'd like us to do more stuff like this.

We do retain copyright and all associated rights on these files but make them available to musicians for non-commercial educational purposes. Maybe Jim's ideas will give you ideas.

Enjoy!
