bucket drums

Definition

Street percussion using literal buckets—the musical equivalent of a participation trophy, impressive for about 90 seconds before everyone's ears start bleeding. Usually performed by someone who's convinced they're the next big thing in underground music.

Example Usage

The subway performer's bucket drums had me nodding along until the 47th chorus of the same rhythm.
