The Addams Family Theme - HALLOWEEN BUCKET DRUMMING!
A fall classic just in time for the spooky bucket drums to come out is the smash theme from The Addams Family 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 2 or 3 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...
This is a terrific fortifier for triplets, both with the auxiliary notation and the traditional notation. Keep it steady and keep it spooky!
Have fun with this and let us know how it goes!
