Welcome to the Course

Congratulations on making a great choice by getting involved! Let me explain how to use the material we've got here to get the best results.

Getting Started

Firstly, if you haven't got one already, you'll want to acquire a Rock School grade book.

• There's a lot you can pick up from this course without a grade book, but it will be much more effective if you do have one.
• This course starts with the pieces and then moves on to material that builds your technical ability.

Course Content

There's loads of information on all sorts of topics, including:

• Coordination
• Timekeeping
• Vocabulary
• Phrasing
• Soloing

Tons of stuff!

Performance Insights

The pieces are performed by a drummer who specializes in that style. Each performance is followed by:

• A professional perspective on the piece, including tips on how to play the style authentically.
• Often, these analyses will go beyond what is technically required for the grade exam.

Embrace this, relish the challenge! That's what this course is about: the next level of pro advice.

Technical Exercises

After the pieces, we get into technical exercises, which are the building blocks of any drummer's technique.

We also provide unique insights on other elements of the Rock School syllabus, such as:

• Sight Reading
• Improvisation
• Interpretation

Support

If at any point you get stuck, you can reach out through the site to any of the drummers and get personalized video feedback on your playing.
