More on the hit list with your bucket drumming kids, we present Imagine Dragons' hit song from 2012, "Radioactive"!

• This version specifically targeted and tailored for beginning bucket drummers can be used for younger students who are not familiar with the faster tempi, may not have the coordination for alternating hands, or who just want to step right into the drumming circuit with a bit more ease! Most of the pickup beats have been removed so students can easily assimilate. All notation in this arrangement are quarter notes and quarter rests

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 4 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...
