Table Top Military Drill Drumming
Historically, the drum was used to convey orders during a
battle, now it is mainly used for ceremonial purposes. I’m sure you
will have seen some military drummers on the television.
For this task you will need a flat surface to play the drums on
with your hands.First you can practise tapping your right hand then
left and keep this going. This will help with coordination. Right
then left then right then left etc.
We will be using 4 different rhythms They look like this.
BEAT QUAVER SEMIQUAVER REST
To help us play we will use the word underneath.
We can also look at how many notes are in the rhythm to see how
many taps there should be.
We don’t play when we see a rest.
If we can say the words whilst playing them we will get the
rhythm.
Have a go at the military style rhythm below.
Have a go at creating your own rhythms… I look forward to
hearing them when you join us.
Your Musical Ideas.
Have a go at writing down your own ideas on the lines below.
Make sure the notes go through the line.
