That's a classic. We actually had a new bell sound so our school bell ended up in one of our songs because it was so annoying (it's also on my channel if you wanna hear it).
@@tommyblackburn9842 I loved doing that one. Especially a bit farther away where someone wouldnt expect a percussion instrument but close enough to hear it crisp. Agh so good
This one time, I was at a drum practice, and we stop, because the battery tech hears something outside. He goes "Is that laughing or screaming?" And it's just outside the band room so I say "Just turn the met on full volume voice 4 and that should chase them away." Seriously, voice 4 is the spawn of Satan.
Bruh same. I had a sub in band once and play the theme. She looked at me like their was something wrong with me but she couldn’t say anything because she would expose herself
Ah yes, drummers/percussionists clowning... I recall being a 15-year-old full of angst and would intentionally play an entire concert piece on Marimba/xylo a half step sharp or flat. Band director could not figure out why it sounded so bad. I regret nothing.
After I figured out the thumb roll, I did it on everything, and I made some discoveries. If you do it on interior walls, some people think it's an earthquake. If you do it really slowly but with many bounces, on a concert bass drum, it sounds like impending doom. Essentially, it should be like bowing a string instrument, where you don't hear each hit, but you cause it to vibrate.
It's such a cool technique, it's annoying that I tend to have unusually dry hands. Need to have a moisture pad otherwise you're smearing saliva on instruments, lol. And you need to get the amount of moisture just right, too much and you get slips and an uneven sound. One of the things I wish I got better at.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:16, John 3:17
UUGHHHH the voice metronome brings me so much pain. It reminds me of the beginning of the season in marching band. If we suck so bad even with the metronome, we get the voice and we all die inside. I did love Jig 2 Though!!
I was the best at thumb rolling at my high school. I started thumb rolling everything. I found out you can make some really cool sounds by thumb rolling a concert bass drum really slowly. Now I can sometimes make people think there's a minor earthquake.
Pretty sure the hi-hat with a different pitch is just hitting it softer and with the tip of the stick, whereas the regular 8th notes sound like they're being hit with the shaft of the stick
Alright here's my best one EVER... Senior year of highschool and I'm the center snare at Brookwood High School. One game I'm tired of hearing the trumpets talking in front of me on our March down to the stadium and I realized the power I wielded as center. I count off D&K (You may know it as funky drummer or something else) and played it out. I then immediately started it again. And again. And again. All the way to the stadium, the band thought it was funny the drum line was having a good time, it was great. Then we get to the stands, and for the first half, I would constantly signal to the drum majors that I wanted to play a cadence, and they would let me. I played D&K. Every. Time. So after half time comes and the drum majors are at least minorly peeved off, but I'm not done. I have to get sneaky, so I start passing down the line what cadence we will play next, and when to start D&K in it, exactly the same troll as #29's takeout in the video. The BEST one was after literally begging the drum majors to let me play one more cadence, swearing on my life that it wouldn't be D&K, and they let me. I counted off Ahh Brookwood, a carbon copy of Ahh CC which is a college somewhere I think, and if you're familiar with it it has a big buildup leading to one bar before the "drop" where everyone tells "ahhhhhhh brookwood, what!" It's literally the definition of hype, and the band and school love it. So I have 300 people in the band hyped as hell for the drop with a breakdown with cymbals and headbanging and all around raucous behavior, when right after the call, it gets almost dead silent. Except for one snare, starting D&K. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk, that was the best prank I ever pulled in drumline, have a nice day if you read this far.
Duuuuuddddee I literally spent an entire summer learning Jig 2 on a makeshift quad setup made out of my trap set. Being a base in the marching band and having able to pick up the quads and be the only one who go ham on them during pep band even over my buddy who’s been our only quad guy all 4 years is pretty lit (technically the only song I know but still a crowd favorite woo!!)
Good morning! m6 of harry potter (assuming you exclude the pickup bar) should be D# and E# not natural. And the B in the second to last bar should be Bb
There's also a D near the end of the Hedwig's Theme excerpt (4:20) that I'm 95% sure is supposed to be a D#. The difference is that the A is just a typo (he actually plays a G, since it's a C Major chord), but actually plays the D# misprint.
One thing I remember my high school drum line doing is that they would say "hold up, wait a minute, put a little bass in it" and play stuff. But they apparently didn't realize that it was borrowed from Family Force 5's "Love Doctor" so I guess it was one of those drum line traditions that got started some years ago and they just forgot where it came from. You playing the women/girl in the wig gave me strong "kelly shoes" vibes way back in early 2006 UA-cam days 😂😂
Last year, our drumset guy played the hub theme in front of the director. The director had no idea what it was and was a little confused as to why everyone refused to tell him. And so the drumset guy would just randomly play this every now and then and we'd laugh and the director would roll his eyes at us. A day or so later, though, someone told the director it was the theme for the Hub... but he didn't really care. He said we could play it as much as our hearts desired so long as it stayed in the band room. Guess he didn't want the band to have a public image of being immature.
Hey Eric, if it’s all right with my band director would we be able to use some of the cadences that you have going on in the background for our drumline? Just asking because we’ve had the same cadences for almost 12 years now and the crowd is very much starting to lose interest
I taught at a charter school last year (Mormon based charter school mind you), and one of my percussionists would hop on the kit at the beginning and end of EVERY class and play the hub intro. Literally every student in the class knew what he was playing and would laugh. I also had a student that would play Mo Bamba on his Bari Sax every morning, but of course I had to pretend I lived under a rock to avoid exposure. 🥴
I play tuba and during marching season, I like to follow my Colorguard friends around with the Sousaphone and play "Stewie following around fat people". My friend will walk to it and then I will speed up the tempo and she will progressively get faster. It's one of the few things actually cool about playing the Sousaphone.
One time in high school while waiting for the band teacher to enter the band room, I played the no tonic thing on the piano there. Someone wished that I would be buried in cement which would harden and trap me under for the rest of eternity
one day i got my laptop from school and got a tunner that played a pitch so high only some students could hear it. I put it on max volume and put it in my backback and walked around school while watching chaos form around me. Best day ever. -The annoying piccolo player
I honestly thought "Poisoned" and "Hot Chick Lick" only existed in my home town lol. In my HS marching band, drumline always hustled to be first ones back and set for next rep. Once we got back and got set, the senior tenor player would play a one bar lick and the whole line would grab the downbeat. When I was the senior in that position, I used "Poisoned" and many others like it OFTEN lol
What percussion memes/trolls/pranks would you like to see in the next one?
EMCproductions Stick your techs piece of wood in your shorts (in a funny way) and watch him beg for it back!
Man you must get alot of practice on the pyornhube theme
You gotta have a full megalovania
Actually kind of surprised I didn't hear the Rugrats theme. That was all I freaking heard in high school. Maybe I'm just old, lol.
Chop suey! On bongos or xylophone
Remember, this man is a Marine.
Once a marine, always a marine
Lol that’s the funniest part
He's in the band so not a "real" Marine.
@@camodrums He is a real marine. He went to boot camp like any other marine. The mos doesn't matter...
Yes
and 30.
If “dad jokes” was a person it would be this guy
You stole this comment from the 50 types of I&E solos video
Stevie T that gone wrong
If you laughed at any of this than YOU are the dad joke.
@@samukatm1097 The StevieT of drumming
I made it 1k your welcome
Okay no tonic just pisses off any musician
And the tuba equivalent for the timpani walking, just play the Stevie tuba song
The no tonic made me cringe, and then the look on his face when he KNOWS what he just did.....pure evil.
Eric Smith when my teacher was messing with us in our music theory class, he always stopped on the 7th
All I hear is Dorian.
I’m the 900th like person
2:13 this is the first time I have seen this meme correctly animated.
Bennett Turner yes. He took so long to make it accurate.
I have bonguses too. I should try to learn that. Kinda fast tho
One prank I did in high school was playing the school bell on a vibraphone
That's a classic. We actually had a new bell sound so our school bell ended up in one of our songs because it was so annoying (it's also on my channel if you wanna hear it).
I found out the one of the iPhone message tones was a c on our glock so I would always mess with people in class
Our bell used to be an out of tune a flat. The director asked the principal to change it so now it's an in tune a and its super easy to mimic
@@tommyblackburn9842 I loved doing that one. Especially a bit farther away where someone wouldnt expect a percussion instrument but close enough to hear it crisp. Agh so good
Noice.
He reminds me of SteveT in so many ways
kinda looks like him too.
Completely agree.
100% agreed
yes
I haven't agreed with anything more in my life

what does it even sound like lmao
@@CybertroninfiniteOfficial It's the human voice that says the counts like EMC showed.
And this one time, at band camp...
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Jrezky bruh I read this comment and that was the first thing I thought
When the pornhub bit played we knew it wasn’t laughing tho it may have been screaming.
I played the p0rnhub theme at the end of every school mass and I can’t get in trouble because I can call the teacher out for it.
Bruh same. I had a sub in band once and play the theme. She looked at me like their was something wrong with me but she couldn’t say anything because she would expose herself
The teachers can watch porn you know...
Jesse Williams, yes, this is true, but the students around me would expose them to the rest of the school lol.
Shut up Jack Camfield whom loves in Delaware
Jesse Williams: at a christian school?

This man is the Stevie T of drums. And I mean that in the best way possible
Couldn't agree more

I guess you could say, you would be scared... *shitless?*
I was sure the 'hard version' was gonna be "this time you play it when you're hard"

Oh man I hope my percussion section never sees this video bc this is all I'll ever hear

300 person band? My school is a big 3000 students school but band has been struggling
Is anyone going to acknowledge the fact that he clicked his sticks the same time the background cadence did at 10:15?
not really...
8:46 double bass. you can use that.
It wouldn’t sound the same.
You can't control the hihat tho
1:37 anytime anyone messed up, the drumline at my school played this theme. I can’t wait to be in drumline. (Edit: the double strokes)

Linda has been augmented a little cuz u could hear weird sounds more in her pitch raise.
and now it is fixed and ever since now
I don’t even know why I watch you. I’m not a percussion player but I’m in band and I just like watching.
The PH theme the only thing you forgot was the electric guitar. Then i would’ve been complete

Same😭
Having perfect pitch has nothing to do with it. It’s about not fulfilling expectations of a full major scale not being played pretentious prick
I’m fine because you just think of it as in the locrian scale and it sounds resolved
me not even being near decent with relative pitch, still hurt
I won’t lie the honorable mention had me rolling on the floor crying
What's the deal with #3? Why does every drumline in the world know this thing. Like I remember it from the late 90's. Where did that come from?
It's the superman S of the drumline world. Nobody knows where it came from, they just know they must do it.
