A foundation-level technique course for drummers working through Rockschool Grades 0 to 5, taught by Paul Elliott, whose students include Phil Selway (Radiohead), Mick Avory (The Kinks) and Ash Soan (Adele). Across these lessons you build the hand technique every grade rests on: single stroke rolls, double stroke rolls, paradiddles, and flams, drags and ruffs, with a dedicated 'How to practise' lesson so the work actually sticks.
Paul then demonstrates the specific technical requirements grade by grade, from Grade 0 through Grade 5, so you know exactly what each exam asks for and how it should sound. Whether you are sitting the exams or simply want cleaner, more reliable hands, it is a solid reference for student and teacher alike.

Paul Elliott is a respected drum educator and clinician whose students hold top gigs across the industry, including drummers for Kylie Minogue (Tom Meadows), Ricky Martin (Laura Fares) and The Cure (Jason Cooper). He has shared clinic stages with Steve Smith, Manu Katché, Simon Phillips and Gary Husband, and his own playing career included work with Frank Gambale, Guthrie Govan and Shaun Baxter.
