From the superb Trinity College London Drum Kit Syllabus, Grade 3-5 book available here: https://amzn.to/3lE1FZX
I record this type of video as a guide to help students prepare their grade pieces and exercises. They’re my best performance of the piece as I can do it on the day! I always do my very best to play as accurately as possible to the part and in the spirit of the piece although I can’t guarantee everything is perfect. Please use the book, your own musicianship and the guidance of an experienced teacher too to prepare your performance.
Full details of this great syllabus are at: https://www.trinitycollege.com/site/?...
Video about the difference between this syllabus and Trinity’s “Rock and Pop” syllabus is here: • Should I Study Trinity College London Drum...
Thanks for watching, have fun please let me know if any questions, cheers :)

Mike Barnes Drums Amazon Shop
I now have an Amazon store featuring all the gear, books etc you see here in these videos, and that I use myself on gigs/in the studio and recommend. It doesn’t cost any more to buy from this store than it does from regular Amazon, but you’d be supporting this channel by doing so, which would be very much appreciated!:
