Product description
From the author
Need to connect with your kids with their pop music through general music? Involve them in bucket drumming with Imagine Dragons' hit, "Believer"!
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, 6, 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)
Here's the track so you can play along...

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Perform a bucket-drumming rhythm pattern in time with recorded music, following rhythm notation with regular notes, rests and x-note stick clicks.
Recognise how a rhythm pattern changes across song sections (intro, verse, chorus, bridge, ending).
Teaching tips
Model regular notes as bucket hits and x-notes as stick clicks; demonstrate the rests and triplets before combining patterns.
Practice the middle and ending chart sections separately. Both later pages are labeled Part 2, so refer to song-section names when directing the class.
Use the matching recording to rehearse transitions and repeat counts after students know each pattern.
Skills covered
Rhythmic pattern performance - students read rhythm notation with regular notes, rests and x-note stick clicks to perform a bucket-drumming routine synced to a specific song.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How can I introduce the arrangement to beginners?
Model one rhythm at a time and have students echo it before combining sections. Use the repeat counts and section names in the PowerPoint to guide the class.
