The Backstory

"Before I owned a drum set, I would play on anything that was around, including buckets, tupper ware, pots, and my little brother."

 

As a child, I was obsessed with rhythm. I would frequently get in trouble for tapping my pencil in class, but I couldn’t stop. I felt compelled to transform that tap into something.

I cannot recall a point in my life that I wasn’t tapping, but I didn’t consider myself a natural. It took years of perseverance, plenty of practice, and educating myself in every way I could to get to the point I am now. I’ve played in marching bands. I’ve performed with headliners all over the world. I’ve had the fortune of touring four different continents, yet my favorite part was teaching workshops on my favorite topic: RHYTHM.

Rhythm has been a huge asset to my life, and watching those discoveries in others is amazing. I was an elementary school teacher when I opted to use bucket drums with the kids, and it was a huge success. The movement had begun and an idea was formed.

I really loved everything about your website.
The lessons, videos, music, and tabs were awesome learning materials for anyone wanting to learn how to bucket drum.
Thank you for the wonderful experience, and for making it easy to teach my students.
They thoroughly enjoyed every moment and it was largely thanks to you.

I loved ALL of your videos and so did the inner city kids I taught!
Keep on making them!

Hey Sammy, we started playing yesterday! I was so nervous, not being a drummer, but I started like you showed using the right hand, then left, alternate, and together. It worked well.

This was an exciting experience for me.

Your site is one of the best resources I have found. We’re going to use the video you sent this morning!

Thanks!

You're website is awesome. I teach k12 music, band and Orchestra... I use bucket drumming in replace of recorders with my fifth graders. My kids loved bucket drumming and the community loved watching it. Thanks!

Sammy, You were able to show 75 kids a love for drumming that they never knew they had. It was evident from day one that you truly enjoy the art of drumming and teaching it to kids. Bucket drumming was the favorite activity of many this summer, including the adults. Your talent and passion for drumming is something I truly hope you continue to share with the world.

Brigid MejiaAndy Rodick Foundation

Your videos are easy to follow because you always use right, left, top, rim or sides consistently, and you are very engaging!
I can use your video without having to interject those crucial directions myself. I was so excited when I finished watching it I actually went across the room and picked up a bucket and some drum sticks and started the video over and played along with you. Soooooo fun!
