Today the U-Mass Drumline visited our school and our class was invited to attend this wonderfully fun, loud, impressive show! My students were mesmerized by the rhythm, beat and precision that these very talented young adults demonstrated by “hitting the drums”. As the show concluded, keeping a beat with invisible drumsticks, many of my students asked if they could “hit the drums”. Enter two websites: 1.Virtual Drumming -play drums using the keyboard. Great to watch on the SMARTBoard. The drums as very life-like and the drum sticks move to the beat. 2.Drums Online Player -play drums with the keyboard or mouse- so perfect for SMARTBoard interaction as it allows students to touch the drums to make music. Here’s a sample of Scott’s musical talents using the keyboard to showcase his “Ringo Starr” moves on the Virtual Drumming site: scott-drums.wmv
