Need to connect with your kids with their pop music through general music? Involve them in bucket drumming a super clean version of Lizzo's chart topping hit from 2022, rebranded as "About That Time"!

Discuss form with the students and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated 2 or 3 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 for you to review:
