Every new law passed is signed off by the monarch, a new PM still has to ask royal permission to form a government etc. In practice, these are purely formalities and are treated as such, but still legally there
There would definitely be a huge backlash. But also a very vocal minority who would probably support them. The end result would be some long overdue changes to our constitutional setup, but given the current state of UK politics, this would be delivered at the end of a highly polarising and disruptive period (I'm thinking Brexit vote level of rancour).
Would be better if we just nipped this in the bud now. Remove the monarchy's constitutional power, and make them fund themselves with their huge existing wealth. They can keep the titles and ceremonies for all I care, just pay for it themselves
This guy did some really good, quick intro videos to a whole load of rudiments a few years ago. Might have to scroll back a bit, but I found them really useful https://youtube.com/@SachaKDrums
And Stick Control by George Lawrence Stone is the book for rudiments + a bit more. Can't recommend it enough
So great to see a drum community starting up here! I've got a couple of kits, 13/16/24 Gretsch Broadkaster, that I use with a 14x6.5 Ludwig Copperphonic for my loud grunge band. Usually mostly Istanbul Agop Xists with that one.
Then I also treated myself to a Gretsch Catalina 12/14/18 with matching snare for some jazz doodling. Got a combination of various Bosphorus cymbals with that one
Bamboo-fed, succulent and juicy steaks

It's ceremonial only by convention. Most of the monarchy's power still legally exists, which to me is ridiculous

The Big Beat sounds like fun! What kind of condition is it in, do you have a lot of work to do?
