Fancy getting a foot in the drum world's door? Tycoon Percussion is appealing for intern applicants for the coming year.

The firm's summer intern gives a pretty solid argument for why you should get your CV in the post.

It's great to be able to see how things happen in the real world and work with people who are passionate about the same things as I am."
