Rocked Out 3 drum course!

The 6 - 9 August sees the third year of the highly successful Rocked Out drum courses taking place at the West End Centre, Aldershot.

The four day course has been designed specifically to improve the live performance of young musicians, giving them the opportunity to play in a professional band situation whilst learning under the guidance of a collection of this country´s leading musicians and tutors which this year includes members of ‘A´/The Bloodhound Gang, Graham Coxon/ Charlotte Hatherley´s band, Reuben and Archie and the Instincts.

The class will build students´ confidence with regard to musicianship (including theory and harmony) and improve their performance skills in terms of stage presence, timing, energy, accuracy, passion, attitude etc.

Students must be between the ages 14 - 18.

In addition to testing the latest music gear, with a particular focus on electronic drums, it's my job to manage the 300+ buyer's guides on MusicRadar and help musicians find the right gear for them at the best prices. I dabble with guitar, but my main instrument is the drums, which I have been playing for 24 years. I've been a part of the music gear industry for 20 years, including 7 years as Editor of the UK's best-selling drum magazine Rhythm, and 5 years as a freelance music writer, during which time I worked with the world's biggest instrument brands including Roland, Boss, Laney and Natal.
