Let's make this birthday one to remember.

91 years old (Born on July 17, 1933)

Happy Birthday to the incredible Ben Riley! Drumming alongside legends like Stan Getz and Ahmad Jamal, your rhythm has always had impeccable timing—both on stage and in life. From Woody Herman’s swinging sets to Sphere's musical innovations, you’ve kept everyone tapping their feet (and maybe even attempting drum solos in secret).

You've delivered timeless beats and inspired countless drummers who wish they could match that effortless cool of yours. Here’s wishing you another year filled with steady tempos, thundering applause, plenty of laughs—and absolutely zero dropped sticks.

Enjoy your special day beating those drums or just relaxing—you've earned it!
