Mark is able to provide a drum score writing service for Pipe bands or individuals looking for standard "Busker" scores, competition scores or scores that are tailor made for a specific tune. He can provide an elementary, intermediate and advanced drum setting for each tune that you require a drum setting for. Mark has been an accomplished piper for over twenty eight years and as a result of this he has gained a very good knowledge of ensemble playing and drum score composition.

When you order a drum score you will receive it in PDF format or a copy can be sent by post if required. In addition to that an MP3 sound clip can be sent of the score which will have the score being played at a slower tempo and then up to speed. Please feel free to contact Mark by phone or email for prices and to discuss your requirements. Please go to the "Drumscore/exercise sample" page for some examples. Mark's Drumscores have been used and played by bands and solo Drumming competitors from all over the world with great success with two solo drumming pieces picking up prizes in solo Drumming competitions.

The sound clips below are of Mark playing the Bagpipes

in the studio. He then re-recorded the snare drum part playing along to the recording of the Bagpipes. The third sound clip is a snare drum solo playing Pipe band snare drum rudiments along to a contemporary Bass guitar track. The first two tracks are taken from the CD "Pipes and Drums" by Mark McLaughlan and is available to buy.
