At the beginning of March, 5th graders began a drumming unit. We have two kinds of drums, djembes and tubanos. They have learned that there are 3 sounds on the drums: bass, rim, and tone. Each class has been learning songs from other countries to play on the drums. In the video below, Mr. Dollison's 5th grade class is playing
"Ikari". This is a piece originally written for Taiko drums but adapted for use with our drums. Taiko drums originate in Japan. Check back soon for more pictures and videos of our drumming!
