Goal

To create 30 bucket drum sets for student instruction and performance.  

What will be done with my students

Utilizing 5 gallon buckets, from the local hardware store, students will be making music, practicing the steady beat, expanding their rhythm skills and rhythm vocabulary.
Younger students would use the buckets with drumsticks to learn the fundamentals of rhythm and playing the drums. Older students will enhance instruction with the addition of Remo Rhythm Lids. The lids are specifically designed to fit on the 5 gallon buckets and are comprised of three different tonalities; bright, medium, and dark, to add variety to the experience. The buckets, along with the Remo Rhythm Lids would be a highlight of a performance.  

Benefits to my students

Increases academic performance: Numerous connections with rhythm and math!

Boost brain power: You have to think differently and utilize multiple parts of your body to play.
