About that time of year when we hit March and everything is green? Involve your kids in some IRISH Bucket Drumming with music from the 90s smash album RIVERDANCE and the Celtic piece "Traditional Set"

There are three 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 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 background track to play along:

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