Rockschool - RSL
Rockschool drum exams are an internationally recognised grading system designed for modern drummers, with levels from beginner to advanced.
Students follow a structured syllabus that develops technique, musical understanding, and playing ability through a clear step-by-step progression.
Each grade includes learning songs across different music styles, technical exercises, and supporting tests to build well-rounded musicianship.
During the exam, students are assessed through:
-
Performance of songs
-
Technical skills and exercises
-
Listening (ear) tests
-
Sight reading or improvisation
-
Basic musicianship questions
Students receive a recognised certificate (Pass, Merit, or Distinction), marking their progress and achievement at each level.
Higher grades (Grade 6–8) can also contribute towards university applications with recognised academic points.
