Hello,
I’m aware this may be considered quite off-topic, although this list is one of
the best places I can think about for finding a reliable response. I’m
engraving a bucket drumming ensemble score, and realised the composer used
some quite naif symbols to represent the various types of strokes (side,
center, board, top bottom of bucket, etc.). I was wondering if there’s a
standard established for this kind of notation and where eventually could I
find the references.
I just did a quick web-search using the term "bucket drumming notation"
and got a lot of hits, some of which were simply selling stuff, but
there were a couple of results which actually showed some bucket
drumming notation.
I'm not sure there's a standard yet for this, but one example was a
youtube video of a song that showed its notation:
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9eazUI9MCE>
The notation seemed perfectly clear to me -- each staff had a clear
notation for which part of the bucket was supposed to be hit.
There are online groups you can join to get more information, such as:
<https://bucketdrumming.net/join/> -- I don't know anything about it
since at this point I'm not interested in the subject, but I think you
could find information there.
As with any new aspect of music and notation I think that what's most
important is that the music make very clear at the top of the score and
each part what the notation means.
