Imperial March, Star Wars *TRAP REMIX* - BUCKET DRUMMING!
A departure from our typical popular music fare, we now offer you a new twist that'll get even your toughest kids going. It's the TRAP REMIX version of "The Imperial March" from John Williams' Star Wars franchise!
There are four 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 (most are repeated 2 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)
This one really "slaps" as the kids say. It'll totally get them engaged!
Here's the track so you can play along...
