Bang (Clean Version) AJR Bucket Drumming Lesson

Need to connect with your kids with their pop music through general music? Involve them in bucket drumming with BANG! (Clean Version) by AJR

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. Then, apply it to drums! All form identifiers are not repeated, so it's all just read through

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 (Clean version of BANG with a lyric omitted!) so you can play along...
