POKEMON Theme - BUCKET DRUMMING!
By Jason Litt
Need to connect with your kids with their game music? Involve them in bucket drumming with the famous theme that spanned last generation right into this generation - The POKEMON theme!
There are five all-color coded slides along with the form identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated 3 or 4 times). 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)
Here's the track so you can play along...
Have fun with this and let us know how it goes!
