What will I learn?

The Drum Theory Course gives you a clear, practical framework for reading and writing drum parts with confidence. You will master 4/4 counting, subdivisions, swing, rests, and syncopation, then learn standard drum set notation, groove construction, fills, and style-specific techniques. Build fast chart-reading skills, efficient transcription habits, and rehearsal-ready notes so you can walk into any session fully prepared and organised.
