Trepak, Russian Dance (VADrum cover) - BUCKET DRUMMING!
Right in time for your Christmas instrumentalists, we present to you the VA Drum (Andrea Vadrucci) cover of Trepak's "Russian Dance" from The Nutcracker Suite by Pyotr I Tchaikovsky 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. 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 drum along...
Have fun with this and let us know how it goes!
