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.

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!
