St. Patrick's Bucket Drumming Bundle! - 20% off!
By Jason Litt
In this St. Patricks Day Bucket Drumming 4pack, you will get 4 great bucket drumming arrangements at 20% off when purchased all together
Included are the following Bucket Drumming arrangements for all of your little leprechauns to play with!
Arrangements are designed from 4th grade all the way up to middle school, so these are typically designed for some of the older kids.
For notation:
All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish),
The X notation that is stacked with quarter notes are played as shots (think like a marching band snare drum -- playing the drum and stick simultaneously as a rimshot or on top of each other -- whatever will you get you the best accent!)
The X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)
The Throne Room/End Credits, Star Wars (with mp3!) - BUCKET DRUMMING!
By Jason Litt
A departure from our typical popular music fare, we now offer you "The Throne Room/End Credits" from John Williams' Star Wars franchise covered by famous YouTuber 331ERock!
There are five color coded slides along with the form and instrumental identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students (a great way to talk about the variations of the theme with inclusion or exclusions of certain instrument groupings) and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats. Then, apply it to drums!
All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)
This one is great to work on off beats and extensions of themes. It switches around a lot so it is sure to keep your kids engaged :)
Great resource to prepare for if.... May the Fourth is coming up!
The track is included in this resource for you to play right along!
