24k Magic, Bruno Mars (***CLEAN***) - BUCKET DRUMMING!

Need to connect with your kids with their pop music through general music? Involve them in bucket drumming with the clean version of Bruno Mars' smash hit "24k Magic"

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 in groups of 3x and 1x). 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 clean track so you can play along...
