Harry Pope is an awesome young drummer based in London. He's worked with top UK artists including Brit Award winner Eddi Reader, Jim Mullen, Graeme Duffin of Wet Wet Wet, and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra Big Band.
If you're a beginner drummer, this course is for you! Learn the right techniques from the start so you don't have to waste time re-learning later. And there's no-one better than Harry to show you how it's done, especially since he just graduated from Trinity College of Music Jazz Programme.
In this course, Harry takes you from the very basics of setting up the kit and striking the drums, through to playing some simple, great sounding, beats and fills.
