Summary of This Method
Learn to play rock and pop with Rockschool through a selection of arrangements specially written to develop essential drumming skills and techniques: tempo stability, dynamic control, groove accuracy, rhythmic reading, and break management. For the Rockschool Drums 2018-2024 series, Rockschool commissioned arrangements of tracks representative of the popular music heritage, ensuring each piece perfectly matches the grade expectations. It is also possible to use titles from the Rockschool Classics series within the program.
The musical content features a variety of pieces, perfect for working on different styles and feels: "Control" (Chase & Status), "What Is Hip" (Tower Of Power), "Cry Me A River" (Justin Timberlake), "Law" (Richard Spaven), "Techno" (John Scofield), and "Family Affair" (Mary J Blige), complemented by 6 Rockschool Originals. This diversity helps develop a complete playing palette, from tight grooves to more modern patterns, while staying focused on Rockschool's educational objectives.
Going beyond simple sheet music, the method includes artist and band fact sheets with recommended listening, as well as in-depth walkthroughs to understand playing intention, key technical points, and recurring challenges (coordination, articulation, dynamics, timing). The downloadable audios (with simplified access) allow practice in real musical conditions, focusing on feel, consistency, and interpretation. Finally, example tests and exercises complete the package to consolidate learning and effectively prepare for performance goals.
