Services

Scott Currie Percussion offers a range of services which pipe bands and individuals alike can benefit from. As a life-long pipe band drummer, Scott Currie has won every RSPBA major pipe band and drum corps championship available in the premier grade as both a bass drummer and a tenor drummer. Having won four World Pipe Band Championships and eleven World Drum Corps Championships with The House of Edgar Shotts & Dykehead Pipe Band during his career, Scott's experience is called upon in the UK and overseas to help improve motivation, player potential and competitive performance.

Mid-section Instruction & Tuning

Mid-sections play a vital role in the overall ensemble of the pipe band performance and can often provide weight to the factors determining a band's overall placement in a competition. Improving the quality of midsection performance and tuning therefore hold obvious benefits for the entire pipe band.

Scott has assisted a number of pipe bands to improve their performance and sound including:

• Arbroath RBL Pipe Band (Scotland)
• Balmoral Highlanders Pipe Band (USA)
• Bleary & District Pipe Band (Northern Ireland)
• Clan Gregor Society Pipe Band (Scotland)
• Cullen Pipe Band (Eire)
• 6/8th Dundee Coy. Boys' Brigade Pipe Band (Scotland)
• Finvoy Pipe Band (Northern Ireland)
• St Thomas' Episcopal School Pipe Band (USA)
• Warrington Pipe Band (England)

Workshops

Attending workshops is an activity that most bass and tenor drummers will undertake during their playing careers. They provide great opportunities for drummers to learn from guest instructors in a focused environment.

Every discipline associated with the art form can be catered for at every level of student ability.
