RSL : Rockschool Drums Grade 7 (2024)

Introduction :

The Rockschool Drums Grade 7 (2024) book is the official examination syllabus from RSL Awards, targeting the highly skilled, pre-professional drummer. This level demands the highest standards of technical execution, musical maturity, and improvisational ability. Grade 7 requires mastery of complex compound time signatures, advanced fusion grooves, and sophisticated stylistic control across challenging genres like Prog Rock, Jazz Fusion, and Funk. This book is essential for those preparing for higher performance qualifications, university entrance, or aspiring to a professional drumming career. The syllabus features nine demanding tracks, expertly arranged and supported by accompanying audio online.

Product Features :

Official 2024 Exam Syllabus: This is the authoritative book required for students undertaking the RSL Grade 7 Drums examination, representing a significant qualification on the path to professional music.
Focus on Advanced Fusion and Compound Time: The repertoire includes complex Jazz Fusion ('(It's Just) Talk'), intricate Funk ('Soul With A Capital 'S''), and Prog Rock ('Falling In Between'), demanding precise execution in odd and compound meters.
Near-Professional Technical Demands: Drummers must demonstrate mastery over advanced interdependence, sophisticated fills incorporating *ghost notes* and *linear patterns*, and the ability to maintain groove stability during complex rhythmic transitions.
Performance and Improvisation Training: The syllabus focuses on refining performance flair and requires highly developed sight-reading and improvisation skills, preparing the student for diverse professional contexts.

Performance Tips :

Master Compound Meters: Pay detailed attention to compound time signatures (like 6/8 or 7/8 in the Jazz Fusion tracks). Practice feeling the strong beats and ensuring the internal pulse remains rock-solid.
Develop Hand/Foot Coordination: The grooves at this level demand maximum independence. Dedicate significant practice time to linear drumming exercises and polyrhythms, allowing the feet and hands to operate autonomously.
Achieve Stylistic Authenticity: For Funk (Tower of Power) and Jazz Fusion (Pat Metheny), listen intently to the original drummers (e.g., David Garibaldi) to accurately capture the *pocket* and the subtle dynamic nuances of the style.
Refine Interpretation of Charts: Practice reading complex rhythmic notation, dynamics, and articulation markings with precision, treating the drum chart as a blueprint for a detailed musical performance.
