About This Product

More on the hit list with your bucket drumming kids, we present Taylor Swift's hit song from 2014, "Bad Blood"!

There are three 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 4 or 8 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 is quite advanced and may take a few lessons to get solidified. There are ties across bar lines and it'll definitely get your kids to learn about syncopation ;)

Here's the track so you can play along...
