Dare to Do Right Drum Pattern<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever created your own drums in singing time? Don’t worry, you won’t be needed a drum set or even drum sticks for this activity! These patterns will work great using hymnbooks or even just using your lap or seat as a drum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start by singing through the first verse of Dare to Do Right (flip chart here)<\/a> at the beginning of singing time. Have the children focus on the rhythm or flow of the song. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then, demonstrate a simple version of the drum pattern by patting your knees quickly 3 times, followed by a hard thump as you sing, \u201cDare to do right!\u201d Can you try it with me? Use this pattern for the first two phrases!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you sing the third line, pat your knees on every syllable, followed by a big thump for the word, \u201cDo.\u201d The next two lines simply repeat the rhythms you\u2019ve already done! This is the basic pattern for the verse, except that we\u2019ll be alternating right and left hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Post the drum pattern for the verse on the board. Try alternating hands and following along with the pattern as you sing. Have you got the hang of it yet?<\/p>\n\n\n

Let\u2019s try the chorus! For this pattern, you\u2019ll alternate hands as fast as you can to create a \u201croll\u201d sound as you sing, \u201cDare!\u201d Then, repeat the soft \u2013 soft \u2013 soft \u2013 hard pattern as you sing, \u201cDare to do right\u201d and “Dare to be true.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the last two phrases of the song, alternate hands on each word, ending with both hands as you singthe word , \u201ctrue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Post the chorus pattern and follow along with the color-coded pattern. Then, try the entire drum pattern as you sing the full verse!<\/p>\n\n\n

Drum Pattern Guide:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I’ve included a full outline of the drumming patterns below. In this pattern, you’ll notice that the harder hits will be used for words\/notes that are emphasized at the end of phrases. Shorter words will get a steady hit with either right or left hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out my demonstration video later in this post and be sure to grab the printable pattern for a color-coded version that will help you stay on track!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
