TRAP REMIX, "The Nutcracker" (Sugar Plum Fairy Dance) - BUCKET DRUMMING
Right in time for your Christmas instrumentalists, we present to you the hit from Peter I Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Ballet, The Sugar Plum Fairy Dance reimagined for BUCKET DRUMMING!
There are three 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 4x). 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...
Have fun with this and let us know how it goes!
