Hey Guys!
So I live in Western Australia however my brother studied in America after high school (law) and I would be interested in following the same path...
I'm in my second final year at high school and I play drums and I've pretty much made up my mind of heading in that direction as a career path... I love jazz/fusion/funk/rnb/latin sort of music (ehe) with all the rock bits and pieces and I was looking into colleges and universities in America but I really have no clue.
I have a moderate to high level of music theory/analysis/aural skills (I don't know what the standard is in America!)
I was watching the Berklee auditioning tapes on youtube and some cats seem decent, some bad and some have insane fills but average grooves (all the gospel chops blow my mind).
Can anyone recommend a range of universities/colleges (whatever you guys call it) that offer a great music (specifically drums) program..
California / NY sound great.. but I really know nothing about the universities for music in the states...
Edit:
Also whats the typical standard of drum quality/theory skills required? Do you have to be already of professional ability to be heading to these universities... I couldn't classify myself in terms of ability .
Thanks !
p.s. sorry if I appear innocent or naive..
