SMILE 4 Special Needs (#228): Volunteers Lead Bucket Drumming for All (#33) at GiGi’s Playhouse Sugarland on July 10, 2025

On July 10, 2025, Pearland volunteers led a bucket drumming lesson at GiGi’s Playhouse Sugar Land, with six students participating in the interactive session.

The class began with a quick review of basic drumming techniques, including different drum sounds and proper hand positions. Students then practiced rhythm patterns such as stop-and-go beats and heavy versus light strikes. These foundational concepts were reinforced through fun and engaging activities like the Traffic Light Game and a “Follow the Leader” rhythm challenge.

To wrap up the session, students had the opportunity to drum along to songs of their choice, bringing a personalized and creative element to the experience. The activity promoted not only musical expression but also coordination, listening skills, and confidence.

Event lead: Eddie Fu (2.5 hrs),

Volunteer: Junxi Zhang (0.5 hr)
