Primary Drummers

For each group, Primary and Secondary drummers, there are six sections:

Ending

In order to complete this topic you will need to play ALL SECTIONS in time with the backing track


The entire piece follows this structure:

You can choose to either play the sections SLOW or FAST. The faster speed is much harder!

Do this for EACH section until you are ready to play the whole way through, all sections from A to the ending, in time with the backing track
