Score Writing

Not sure how to arrange a drum score from scratch? Can't find the scores you're after? Looking for something just a bit different? Make use of the Contact Form to drop me a line requesting the score, level, and arrangements and I'll compose the score to suit your needs.

Making use of all the rudiments that you and your band can play accurately at each grade level, scores can be developed to showcase the best of your abilities, while helping the band to develop to it's full potential. All scores are written in conjunction with your feedback to ensure that you are happy with the final version.

Drum Scores will be set out using Drumscriobh 2.0 software for clarity of reading, and can be delivered in hardcopy or electronic PDF format.If required, MP3 or Audio CD of the complete score and melody can be provided to aid the learning process. As with any band arrangement, the score can be viewed as a work in progress and be updated as the band progresses.
