RSL : Rockschool Drums Grade 2 (2024)

Introduction :

The Rockschool Drums Grade 2 (2024) book is the official examination syllabus from RSL Awards, one of the world's leading contemporary music examination boards. This Grade 2 book is designed for beginners who have established basic kit control and are ready to tackle more diverse rhythmic concepts, including shuffles and slightly more complex fills. The syllabus covers various styles within Pop and Rock, helping students to develop feel, coordination, and practical performance skills. The book includes six popular tracks and three Rockschool originals, all supported by accompanying audio online.

Product Features :

Official 2024 Exam Syllabus: This is the **authoritative book** required for students undertaking the RSL Grade 2 Drums examination, providing all necessary pieces, technical exercises, and syllabus information.
Expanding Rhythmic Vocabulary: The repertoire, featuring tracks by Miley Cyrus and Fleetwood Mac, introduces new time signatures, slightly faster tempos, and rhythmic variations (like the shuffle groove) that are crucial for progressing past the elementary stage.
Comprehensive Learning Tools: Includes the printed score and **Audio Online** access. This provides high-quality backing tracks (band minus drums), full demo recordings, and click tracks, making it essential for effective self-study and performance preparation.
Focus on Stylistic Diversity: The song selection encourages students to develop a sense of *feel* across different sub-genres, from contemporary pop and indie rock to classic rock and reggae-influenced beats.

Performance Tips :

Master the Shuffle Groove: Grade 2 often introduces the shuffle (triplet feel). Practice this rhythm slowly and ensure the long-short pulse is consistent and **not mechanical**. Listen carefully to the original track of 'Keep On Running' to capture the correct swing.
Develop Sight-Reading Confidence: This level requires improving sight-reading skills, particularly reading basic rests and dynamic markings. Practice reading through the pieces with a focus on rhythmic accuracy.
Execute Clear Dynamics: Begin paying close attention to dynamic changes (p, mf, f). Use varied stick heights to control the volume, ensuring the difference between loud and soft sections is noticeable.
Efficient Fill Placement: Practice placing fills precisely at the end of the required bars, ensuring the fill itself is rhythmically accurate and that the tempo is stable when returning to the main groove.
