The modular program for drum kit and percussion is
based on six comprehensive units. It is constantly updated
to include the latest ideas and developments brought
to you by Planet Drum tutors. The course work comes
on DVD-Rom, audio CD, and in print. You will play the
drums along to recordings from your first lesson so
you can relate your drumming to a musical example.
Students also have an option to study grades at Planet
Drum. All the music for new drum kit exams has been
collected into a series of four books, each with CD
and containing two grades. Exams will be arranged with
the Trinity and Guildhall college.
