New Drum Kits

Good news! The drum kit in Queen's live room has been replaced with a Yahama drum set. The new kit expands the choices of toms, which can either flexibly be chosen in a standard kit or extended with extra toms.

An additional drum set has been stored at our loans facility, where it can be taken out by all Music, Technology and Innovation (MTI) as well as Music, Technology and Performance (MTP) and Audio Technology (ART) students.

Important message for all Third Years

Dear all,
It seems that only 28% of you have yet completed the National Student Survey. This is an important exercise for MTI and the university in general. If you have positive feelings towards your studies to date, please express them through the survey. If you have suggestions to how MTI can best develop moving forward in the future beyond your graduation this year, please also take this opportunity - feedback from our students is essential for us. It won't take long and can be done online (I'm sure IPSO/MORI have already emailed you at least once about this!!!).
Thanks,
Simon (24.2)
