Where To Get Buckets For Bucket Drumming

7/29/2016

A common hurdle for music teachers new to bucket drumming is where to get the buckets. While buckets are very affordable ($3ish) from large hardware stores like Home Depot (the bright orange ones are my favorite), it's possible to gather them for free with a little leg work.

Below are all the places that I've heard music teachers say they've found buckets for bucket drumming.  Some are donations, others are simply used and then tossed by the original owners. Feel free to post other sources in the comments.

For those who have received donations, how do you go about doing that? Like from Home Depot or Lowes? Do you just go in store and ask?

Great instructional videos! I especially appreciate how the technique of the upstroke is highlighted.
