OK! Now I got it. Surfs Up notation was like Orffs grade school exercises. I 
used them. They were great. No bucket thumping though...

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.
