Army Cadet Force Pipes and Drums

Well folks, I'm still sorting out what drum scores I have lying about and getting them onto digital files so stay tuned for some free scores by the end of the month at the latest I hope!

This week I am going to be away with two good piping friends Rhuaraidh Edwards and Robert Gibb of OTC and Cullybackey  fame.  I met both of these characters in the Glasgow and Strathclyde University OTC Pipe Band and have had many good trips away with them so looking forward to this week. We have been asked to provide instruction for a week long Pipes and Drums camp for the Glasgow and Lanarkshire Army Cadet Force so for those on the camp I will see you there, and for anyone else who is trying to contact me regarding tuition or scores you can get me on my mobile: 07709085534 or at my email: CameronSharpePercussion@gmail.com

Welcome to the new blog

Hi everyone and welcome to my new blog! For those of you who don't know me, I'm a Scottish drummer based in Glasgow. I have been involved in percussion from an early age having started drumming with the 47th Culter BB Band before moving onto 'Culter and District' then grade 1 Dysart and Dundonald Pipe Band. I also owe a great deal of my experience to playing with the National Youth Pipe Band of Scotland alongside some of the best young drummers in the world.

Currently I am competing with the Grampian Police Pipe Band while studying a Design and Engineering degree at the University of Strathclyde. I am also the lead drummer and tutor for the Glasgow and Strathclyde Officer Training Corps Pipe Band who are the current TA champions.

At present I offer a range of services such as one-on-one lessons, Corps workshops, score writing and drum maintenance. I will also be using this blog to post some free scores, drumming related media, world music/percussion news and anything else which excites, educates or inspires me and hopefully you.
