Beginner Drummers

We recommend attaining basic drum instruction from your local music store. Zarkie Music and Nottelman's Music stores provide a good base of instruction on how to read drum music and rudiments. This will give you a good base from which to learn Celtic drumming.  At practice we work on the massed band drum beating using recognized scores as well as learning scores for specific songs.

Items needed for beginner Celtic snare drummers:

1. Jim Kilpatrick KP2 Drumsticks.

2. Tutor Book. Massed Band Drum Scores by Doug Stronach and Hugh Cameron. This book can be bought from www.drumsplus.com
