Right in time for your Christmas instrumentalists, we present to you the Carrie Underwood's smash hit from 2020, "My Favorite Time of Year" for BUCKET DRUMMING!

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. 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)

NOTE: Remember, all paired eighth notes are swung

Here's the track so you can play along...

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