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'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. -- ***** David H.
