Mills-Rock On! (SP)-Buckets

Rock On! by Kit Mills features a healthy blend of infectious drum grooves, unison rhythms, "copycat" dialogue between parts, a manageable introduction to syncopated patterns, and a variety of percussive sounds to explore. This musical material helps new percussionists expand their rhythmic vocabulary, build confidence in reading notation (and understanding how it connects to what they hear as they play), and clearly hear how their parts fit into the overall musical tapestry.

*Other instruments may be substituted in place of buckets (e.g. toms or other drums, “found” objects like cans, bottles, or pots/pans, etc.). The instruments just need to be able to produce contrasting sounds like buckets.
