Gangnam Style (PSY) - BUCKET DRUMMING!
More on the hit list with your bucket drumming kids, we present PSY's hit song from 2012, "Gangnam Style"!
There are four 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 3 or 4 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).
Notation with a note head and X is treated like a rimshot
This one is easy with a few challenges in a couple of measures with some repeated 16th note passages... but still fun!
Here's the track so you can play along...
