Having spoken with various people, it's become clear to me that my programme ought to be one I personally am happy with, and the pieces I play should reflect me as a musician. I'm quite set on doing pieces which demonstrate the use of odd time signatures and time changes, as this is something that's always fascinated me as a drummer. Being a pop musician, and having grown up with pop music being my background, I've always found myself most at home with common time and popular melodies, but as I developed as a drummer I found myself branching out to learn about music. While enjoying investigating avant-garde tracks and pushing my technical abilities, my favourite tracks were always those that could demonstrate more advanced techniques whilst also appealing to a pop audience.

I want my set to reflect the enjoyment I get from music that is both intellectually and musically stimulating, and so I will aim to choose pieces that I feel demonstrate this best.
