Welcome to the Course

Congratulations! You've made a great choice by getting involved. Let me explain how to use the materials we have here to achieve the best results.

Getting Started

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

• There's a lot you can pick up from this course without a grade book, but it will be far more effective if you do have one.

Course Structure

This course starts with the pieces and then moves on to material that builds your technical ability. But there's loads of other information on various topics such as:

• Coordination
• Timekeeping
• Vocabulary
• Phrasing
• Soloing

Tons of stuff!

Performance and Analysis

The pieces are performed by a drummer who specializes in that style. After their performance, they will provide their professional perspective on the piece, which will include:

• Tips on playing the style authentically
• Analyses that may go beyond what's technically required for the grade exam

Embrace this. Relish the challenge. That's what this course is about, bringing you to 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've also got unique insights on other elements of the Rock School syllabus, such as:

• Sight reading
• Improvisation
• Interpretation

Need Help?

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.

Okay, let's get started!
