Jim Riley Drum Play-Along Song

Jim Riley  /  UPDATED Aug 19, 2022

*** Join Drumeo Edge ***

Jim Riley recently visited the studio for a special lesson on “Creating Grooves That Work” – and he shared a rock play-along song titled “Before” from his book Song Charting Made Easy: A Play-Along Guide To The Nashville Number System.

I hope you enjoy the drumming inspiration! If you’d like to try this song yourself, make sure to check out Jim’s book. You’ll learn how to chart an entire song, for the whole band, on a single sheet of paper in 5 minutes — plus get this play-along and many more! See all the details at www.TheNashvilleNumberSystem.com.
