James Riley Breckenridge (born January 5, 1975) is the drummer for Post-hardcore band Thrice. He plays C & C Custom Drums, and uses Vic Firth drumsticks, Zildjian cymbals, Remo drumheads, with Drum Workshop hardware and pedals.
The older brother of Thrice bassist Eddie Breckenridge, Riley joined Thrice during the early days of the band on the recommendation of Eddie. He is also the co-host of one of the highest rated baseball podcasts on iTunes, The PRODcast.
Breckenridge, along with Morningwood lead singer Chantal Claret, wrote a monthly advice column called "Battle of the Sexes" in Alternative Press magazine for nearly 3 years; which was discontinued in the Winter of 2007.
Breckenridge originally had aspirations of becoming a professional baseball player. He played two years as a walk-on at Pepperdine before his athletic career was unexpectedly cut short due to injuries he sustained playing football.
