The Drum Syllabus Series

The Drum Syllabus Series is an interactive tuition series from Philip Page. The Drum Syllabus Series is designed for drummers of all ages and abilities. Drum Syllabus is able to be used by a teacher in both a one-on-one and classroom setting as well as the self taught student.“I love the thrill of seeing someone progress on the drums and watching them develop as a musician. I created the Drum Syllabus Series to help as many students as possible to achieve just that. As I develop both as a musician and as a teacher so does each installment of the syllabus. My hope is that students can use the Drum Syllabus series not only to further their musical and technical skill but also to give them all the tools they need to express themselves on the drums”.Philip Page About the Author: Philip Page has been a musician for nearly thirty years. He has been teaching for the best part of fifteen years and has taught hundreds of students. Philip has worked with numerous artists including Chris Rea, Andy Flanagan and Mr E to name just a few. He has also appeared on multiple recordings including the pop rock band Seed’s debut single ‘Silver Lining’ and their album ‘Midnight Walking’ (AMG Records). Philip has also featured on the ‘One Hope’ album (ICC Records) as well as many other recordings. In 2012 Philip performed with Jazz Juice as part of the Olympic torch relay. More recently Philip worked with the Mouth of Ghosts who appeared on BBC Radio 6. Their debut single ‘When the Sun Sets’ was selected as one of the songs of the year by BBC Introducing. Philip is currently working with the bands Discovered, Beaten Tracks as well as being the full time drummer for Fluent in Grey who recently released their first single ‘Lost’.
