Hi, some music schools told me that drums need to learn theory, chords, and examinations which grades are involved...i was like WTF!! is there such thing? I thought there aren't chords in drums
 
relaaaaaax....it really depends on what you want out of your drumming path. do u just wanna play? or at some point, do you wanna teach? and even if u wanna teach, u dun necessarily need certification to do so. and also what do u play or wanna play? it all depends.

there are some older threads that may provide more info, just go to search and enter drum exam or drum abrsm or drum trinity and click on posts.

here's 1 i found. http://soft.com.sg/forum/people-drums/50478-trinity-guildhall-drum-books-grades-5-8-a.html
 
chords?! haha since when where flams chords hahahaa!! ehh its good to learn the basic notation la but other then that if u just wanna play for fun then just learn normally... if ur serious eventually the notation will come bite u in the ass again haiz
 
wad i wanna know is who in the world told u theres chords in drumming? notes yea chords hmm... tell me tell me i go slap the fella with a trout!
 
anyway some of our guys here would be willing to teach if its anything to do with basics though do lemme know might be able to help point you in the right direction... if anything more like actual lessons i might have to charge you for using my aircon and waking up the neighbours but haha yea... good luck with ur drumming!!

Yes as a drummer we must at least know some Basic Drumming Notation and a good drumming school will teach you some Basic Music Theory eg How to Transcribe some Songs in the right manner so here's Theory (but not as in Chords ???? )...Examination is optional (It's up to individual)..............

As a drummer, the Chords are not mean't for us but more so for other Musicians in the Band......if you are all reading the same score...we only need to follow the score and know where we are......best way is still - Know the Melody in our Head ...no need to read the score/chords or what. But if it's an entirely new song to you and you've never heard it before - Then have to read the score somehow.....
