Re: [Finale] Standard Percussion Notation for Bucket Drumming

[GERALD BERG]

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:

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:
  -- 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.

Re: [Finale] Standard Percussion Notation for Bucket Drumming

[Percuszionstudio]

This of course is the problem with notating for percussion. Nothing is 
standard. As a percussionist I’ve given up using the limiting sounds and 
notational placements offered by any of the notation programs.

I would suggest notating on a higher part of the stave for higher sounds, maybe 
x’s for the stick clicks. And if there are no obvious high/low sounds, make up 
your own systems. If you want pass anything by me for further comments I’d be 
happy help.

Cheers

[Finale] Standard Percussion Notation for Bucket Drumming

[Giovanni Andreani]

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.
