BRISTOL

When I started to learn to play the drum kit, the grades were very traditional and based in more classical styles of music. It was frankly boring and so I very quickly dropped the idea of doing grades. These days there are many courses available and, after some research and trials, I have settled on the Trinity College London Rock & Pop Drum Grades (2018), which offer a great selection of popular music classics with audio tracks to play along to. This makes learning a lot more fun and there is a real sense of acheivement to playing along to your favourite songs and getting it bang on!
