I’m studying using the book Motivic drumset soloing, by Terry O'Mahoney. I like the book but I would like to find some play-along music for trading 4 or other phrase lengths when soloing. I’m also looking for recordings of jazz drummers with great tempo (time keeping) to play along with to develop swing and time.
Need play-along music for trading 4.

Or just play your 4s in the normal form where everybody is continuing?

I think most, if not all, of the tunes in this package include opportunities to practice trading. You can download one chart/tune for free to check it out.

i don't own this specific pack, but this lesson pack on mikes lessons may be of some use to you:
http://www.mikeslessons.com/store/package/breaking-it-down-2
it has play along tracks that allow you to trade 4s with both Mike Johnston and Eric Moore. You can also buy the lessons individually, so it might be worth giving one a try to see if its any good for what you want

Thank you for all the advice. I ordered a copy of Baby Steps to Giant Steps. I’m studying a lot of different material at this time but I think I’m going to order a few books by John Houston next. Brady mentioned Tommy Igoe's Groove Essentials I have it but I went through the jazz section months ago and I don’t remember him trading 4 but I’ll check out the jazz section again. I thought that Tommy Igoe's Groove Essentials Volume 1 was great, how does volume 2 compare and what styles does he cover?

Groove Essentials 2.0 is much more advanced than 1.0. The songs are much more challenging in terms of structure and expectations. The tempo range is a serious challenge. As far as jazz tunes, there are 3 brush tunes, a jazz mambo and a ridiculously fast uptempo piece. This thing will keep anyone busy for years. In a great way.
