Need to connect with your kids with their pop music through general music? Involve them in bucket drumming with Teddy Swims' smash number "Lose Control"!

There are six 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 2 or 6 times). Then, apply it to drums!

• This is a great piece to work on groupings of three (the original is in 6/8, but it is modified to two sets of 3/4 bars)

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...

Have fun with this and let us know how it goes!
