== General Info ==
1. Candidates must provide their own sticks, which should be suitable for the repertoire being performed. 
2. Damping dusters may be used if appropriate for the drum or the music. 

== Pieces / Studies ==
Candidates can express their musical identity by choosing pieces and studies from our varied repertoire lists. Drum kit candidates choose two pieces with backing tracks and one unaccompanied piece, from a wide range of authentic styles including jazz, funk, show tunes, film, TV, Latin, reggae and swing. Percussionists choose from a varied selection of tuned percussion, timpani and snare drum pieces with accompanied and unaccompanied options. Candidates can further personalize their program by including an own composition.
