Not necessarily a drumming disaster, but my band performed a "reverse parade" (we were at a cancer charity run, so we stood on the side of the road while everybody ran past). Anyways, there's a video of us there where we spook a dog being walked by a young kid and the dog drags the kid off screen. It's by far one of the best band videos I've ever seen. I also have a gopro video where I catch one of our trombones trip and fall and lose his shoe in a practice run
I marched bari sax in high school, and my senior year we had a particularly difficult drill move during our show's closer involving tight waterfalls or something. My friend was a trombone player, and he had to move behind me at a weird angle and constantly hit me on the back of the head with his slide during that part. In order to get him to stop, we made a bet that if he hit me during finals, he would owe me Burger King afterwards. While he did avoid hitting me during most rehearsals and competitions after that, he did in fact whack me during finals, so the chicken fries were mine! (also, speaking of timpani at the end of the video, would it be cool to see the tenor part of Jig 2 played on timpani sometime?)
Not a drumming disaster but front line: my sophomore year of high school I was playing vibraphone, and we were at one of our biggest comps of the year when this happened. I dropped one of my mallets when I was switching from four to two (it was a really quick transition, like one measure at 168 bpm) and the next time I stepped over to play my cymbal I stepped on it. When I heard the snap under my foot I felt my soul leave my body, but I kept going and didn’t let it mess me up. It ended up being one of the best reps of the season though. Later that same year, at our last comp of the season, I cut my finger on my cymbal at the end of the first movement and started bleeding really bad. Like there were drops of blood on my board, blood was flowing down my hand, and my mallets was covered with blood by the end. My finger was fine, it wasn’t a very severe cut, I guess it just cut in a place where there was a lot of blood lol.
Someone’s cymbal harness got detached during a halftime show once Also my drumline has a rule where if you drop a stick you do 5 push-ups and if you drop an entire drum or cymbal, that’s 50
Nice touch doing "Taps" on the timpani at the end. As a retired Marine I can attest to the doing dumb stuff part but not giving those to another Marine band was heinous.
11:40 I saw those images on Facebook and Instagram. Now, I know why you created them. Very Nice! And Happy Marine Corps Birthday (tomorrow) and Thank you for your service!
Funny story Today my schools band was setting up the percussion instruments for Veterans Day performance. I stayed pass the bell to help my band teacher bring the timpani’s to the gym but the 32” one could not make it through the door so we turned it side ways but my left arm got stuck in between the door and timpani and crushed my arm. I’m so glad I did not break it but we then had to bring the janitor to basically break the middle section of the door(it was a dibble door) and let us put the timpani in. Needless to say I was late to lunch with a hurt arm, I love being a percussionist.
I think my worst one in marching band was at our local BOA regional my senior year. Our props for that year were 10 foot staircases that we moved around on wheels during the show. During this particular run, one of our color guard members got her uniform caught on one of the wheels, which caused the stairs to not be able to move to the correct dot. I distinctly remember seeing the stairs, thinking "I'm gonna hit them, aren't I". I did, kinda fell onto the step, got up, finished show. Actually got one of our better scores ever at that event, even with the prop issue. Probably the next worst one was that time the sole of my shoe peeled off in the middle of the run, luckily it was a non-judged run of just the opener (Was at a Meet-the-team type thing for our fall sports teams).
Catching up on unwatched EMCproductions videos ... under THIS account! With Ads!!! Earning Eric the big bucks!!! And, Yes, the Timpani story makes me cry!!!
4:25 Eric getting called out by his dad to take out the trash!!! Reminds me of that great scene in Galaxy Quest where Brandon has to stop "saving the world" because he has to put out the garbage!
One time in 7th grade I was switching between instruments for concert band and I knocked the snare drum over as I was putting my music on the stand. Cherry on top. My band director played it off perfectly. He said "Now that's what we call a drumroll".
That band at 9:16 is the Wakefield High School Marching Band from Wakefield, MA in 2000. They had a large marching band back then, but not a particularly great band program. That began to change when their current director came around 2005/2006. Now, they are one of the best marching bands in New England. They consistently get some of the highest scores in NESBA and recently made finals at the Bands of America New Jersey regional. They are making a case for being one of the top bands in the Northeast.
At last year’s orchestra uil, one of the strings on the chimes broke in the middle of red cape tango. If you don’t know that piece, it’s very chime heavy, and when it broke one of the chimes fell on the floor and made a loud bang. Fun times
I marched BK this year, and as we were walking onto the field in Lucas Oil for our prelims performance, one of our snare player's bottom heads popped. The staff ran the drum off the sideline and he marched that show with no bottom head or hardware. Pretty funny for everyone except him.
EPIC DRUMMING DISASTER!!! I'm a marimba in my high school band and on middle school night I marched bass 1 back from the stands. However, I was picking up trash in the stands just before we marched out and unknowingly cut my index finger open on a coke can. I knew some of the cadence and decided to play. Right when we were about to get back to the alley we march to after games I noticed my index finger was bleeding. I got blood all over two bass mallets and a little on my uniform and had to get first aid from one of the band directors.
This was my first year of marching band, and at the beginning of our show, we had this body visual where we flung our hands around with our instruments in our hands. So I'm doing the body visual and i realize my mouthpiece had flown off(i play trumpet btw). Luckily the General Effects judge could get it back to me before anyone noticed.
It's not on video (I think) but during a run-through, I was going to put my snare back on after the ballad, and idk what happened, but it wouldn't go back on. Ended up marching the rest of the show with no drum and a pair of sticks. Fun times P.S. it was great meeting you at PASIC this year!
I was DANGEROUS when I first started marching band in high school. I would miss step offs and constantly be confused. Looking back on it now, I would’ve kicked myself out 😂
I remember a show in which I think someone smashed a hole the bass 3 or was it bass 4 or maybe it was bass 5 drum. Fun stuff. This also came after the kid who was obsessed with breaking drumsticks graduated so the big question was if smashing a drum was better or worse.
My junior year of high school in the front ensemble I was told to channel my anger into my vibe mallets. so when a cymbal hit came up I hit it so hard the head popped off and flew right into the bleachers. Our tech yelled “ok take a break everyone!” And for the rest of the rehearsal he couldn’t stop laughing.
Video of the 1984 Whitewater Wipeout (Garfield Cadets) would be the Holy Grail of 80s DCI, but I doubt any exists....there IS audio from a judge, tho (GE brass, I think). And I love how the DCI marching ones in this vid are all from corps that WON those shows!
Sorry that I’m late to this, but I got something awkward. On a faithful marching practice, I was pushing out the second vibes (we happened two but one of sadly broke) out to our practice field. But let me context around our area, we have a sort of patio and you had to two people to put down the front ensemble (till we figured a way to get up.) and me and somebody in battery (I think… we are busy getting stuff out of to the field) put the vibes down and I started to wheel it to the practice field but then right side of the vibes popped out of the support to control the stuff together. So I got attention of my section leader and so other people in my section and we got fixed, once I finally got to the road before the vibes decided to fall apart (has one of my front ensemble members put it, “fell apart like Lego pieces”) till my two section leaders said to get the other marimba with my best friend in also front ensemble. Lucky it was that only way I had that other marimba, though that day was engraved into my mind. Have a good day EMC!
7:28 Funny story about that one! He was my music caption head when I started marching band and he told us that he was super focused on giving the judges his absolute best sound, because, y'know, Carolina Crown, on track to win, pressure's super on. Well he did that, but... uh... yeah. I still couldn't believe that one of DCI's most epic fails was because of someone that taught our hornline. Super amazing and funny guy, btw. One of my favorite teachers back in HS.
Last year I was an 8th grader and I learned during spring camp that our bass 5 had tripped and the drum landed on him giving him 2 black eyes when the upperclassman were telling jokes. We rehearsed at the same stadium here it happened a few days ago before state, it was all every talked about.
0:30 He said „man jetzt alter, jetzt muss ich das hier alles unterbrechen“ it’s german for „dude, why now? now i have to stop everything (his recording)“
imagine you pin this! you’re my biggest inspiration ❤i started drumming in 7th grade and i’m now in 8th, and i get invited to highschool marching band! i love drumming. it’s my life 🎉
In high school I was in pit, one time the guy behind me was playing a brake drum, and he hit it so hard the top of the metal mallet snapped off and flew right by my ear, very nearly had a serious injury there
1989 SCV Tenor Break... far left tenor drops left stick. 1992 Cavaliers Snare Break...center of snare line misses right stick flip. Cadets Contra Player falls at top of drill on the 50. I believe was 2002.
I play cymbals for football games since I'm pit, but basically one rehearsal (luckily it wasn't at a game) we were performing one of our songs. In this song the cymbal is used as a high hat and ride cymbal for the snares. I mistimed the opening of the cymbal by a whole 4 or so measures, but then when I tried to fix it, I ended up trapping the snare drummer's stick in-between my cymbals, practically "eating" it. We had a good laugh after the song was over.
This is my first drum disaster and my first year we are doing drill and first time eith the prop i am backwards marching and boom i fall with the bass drum it was a graceful fall but it has not been let down ever since
This happened recently, and I was playing the auxiliary percussion instruments. I had to switch quickly, I had 8 beats at 140 beats per minute to put the crash cymbals on the stand and switch instruments, and the crash cymbals fell and made me bleed.
So our school hosted a concert that was going to headline drummer Zoro. The concert was our high school jazz group opening the show with a half hour. And then zoro played along with his soundtracks for half an hour. After the concert zoro was going to hold a private master class with the jazz group about how to be a better overall musician and how to make the most out of practice time. So after Zoro finished his set the school jazz band (who were sitting front row of the auditorium) were supposed to walk up the stairs to the stage and take a bow with Zoro. Well sure enough I was the first kid to walk up the stairs and sure enough I fell on the last step before getting on the stage in front of the audience. I jumped up and Zoro gave me a hug and asked if I was alright. I told him I’m fine and then he autographed a drumstick for me.
Freshman year (HS) - all 120 or so people across 3 different bands are taking everything back to the band room after a concert. Apparently during all that ruckus as it is, somebody dropped a chair or stack of chairs (can't recall which) onto our 32" timpanum, breaking the head in the center. Of course, our percussionists' twisted minds (myself included) called the hole a "timpussy," and the name sure did not disappoint 😂
One day during indoor rehearsal one of the cymbal players got too close to me (bass 5) during a pass through set and gave me a nice little scar on my forearm. Also, not drum fail, but if you can manage to find a video of the Blue Stars' first show in 2012... Go near the end of movement 5.
instadrum seems cool and all but it doesn't seem like there's a pc app. that's a deal breaker for me. i don't use my phone for games and never will. plus i don't like the amount of stuff the app asks for access to
My high school marching band was lined up before a parade once and we were getting ready to start marching, we, the drumline, were still dicking around as drummers do, and i went to hit the bass drum with my stick and it went straight through the head. he had to run back to the school and grab a new drum while we counted off and started marching. we got a couple hundred feet down the street ( was movin slow still) and he comes runnin up behind us with his new drum while he had been playing most of his way back to us.
Dude, that Timpani story hurts… 💔
I know! So Sad!!!
Fr
#timpanilivesmatter
INTRUSIVE MINDS EVERYWHERE!!!!!!
POOR THING!!!!!!!!
😭😭😭😭😭😭
I honestly love how direct and honest you are when you talk about the importance of reading music.
My dog chewed off the tip of my favorite drum stick a few months ago. Still haven’t gotten over it, it was an artist series
Which artist? Picasso?
That was the most serious moment of silence I have ever taken in my 31 yrs of life and made my eyes water
me too
remove your covers for the timpani
"I need to stop thinking for myself!" Nothing more military ever was spoken, lol.
Not him clicking him sticks on beat on accident at 12:10 lol
Not necessarily a drumming disaster, but my band performed a "reverse parade" (we were at a cancer charity run, so we stood on the side of the road while everybody ran past).

thats a little funny
there’s no way this isn’t stampede showband LMAO
Omg I love your videos 😂. My percussion director actually met you at PASIC this year and got a selfie with you.
I marched bari sax in high school, and my senior year we had a particularly difficult drill move during our show's closer involving tight waterfalls or something.

In the Jig2 collab, @Kyle the Cadet did that
Why would you want Burger King 😐
This one person in my band keeps playing it on timpanum😭😂🫣
Should’ve asked for Wendy’s tbh

never been in the military but from what I've seen from movies and tv is that you should never argue with your drill sergeant.
Someone’s cymbal harness got detached during a halftime show once
Also my drumline has a rule where if you drop a stick you do 5 push-ups and if you drop an entire drum or cymbal, that’s 50

My head split mid halftime show this year at an away game lmaoooo
Bro the video assignments segment was on point😂😂😂
I can feel the thumbnail
Hahaha. I didn’t know how much I needed Timpani playing taps in my life until this video 😅
EPIC DRUMMING DISASTER!!! I'm a marimba in my high school band and on middle school night I marched bass 1 back from the stands.

Best thumbnail ever.
I was crying laughing at the taps on timpani segment. 🤣🤣🤣
The last one broke my heart.
This was my first year of marching band, and at the beginning of our show, we had this body visual where we flung our hands around with our instruments in our hands. So I'm doing the body visual and i realize my mouthpiece had flown off(i play trumpet btw). Luckily the General Effects judge could get it back to me before anyone noticed.
My marching band's percussion tech actually performed that show where the piano solo cut out
1:28
My teacher always use to say "always check the drums first, the drum costs more then your life"
before we left for our second comp this season i got sick ans threw up all over my drum during rehearsal and we had an hour until we loaded busses 😭
Where can I find that timpani destruction video? Is it on Liveleaks? Asking for a friend.
Most importantly always make sure the drums are ok and safe over anything🤣
Good morning! This is video number 26 of me asking Eric to make a set of tenors out of differently sized or tuned snare drums.
It's not on video (I think) but during a run-through, I was going to put my snare back on after the ballad, and idk what happened, but it wouldn't go back on. Ended up marching the rest of the show with no drum and a pair of sticks. Fun times
P.S. it was great meeting you at PASIC this year!
Imagine having a backup camera, especially if it has one of those beep Beep BEEP!!!! It’s just beeping at you the whole time.
I was DANGEROUS when I first started marching band in high school. I would miss step offs and constantly be confused. Looking back on it now, I would’ve kicked myself out 😂
I got an ad that you're in for this lol. The aeroband sticks.

Happy Birthday, Marine.

Video 9 of asking EMC to make a video of him playing the Rock Band game series
My dog keeps barking exactly when I play the drums and stops when I finish
Sorry that I’m late to this, but I got something awkward.
On a faithful marching practice, I was pushing out the second vibes (we happened two but one of sadly broke) out to our practice field.

NOT THE FREAKING SOUSAPHONE!!! 😂😂😂😂
Good morning
The Guy Said: ow man, now i have to Film again
The guy at 0:30 says something along the lines of "Come one dude, now I have to interrupt the entire recording"
6:41 “I present to you the snenor lick”
0:30 He said „man jetzt alter, jetzt muss ich das hier alles unterbrechen“ it’s german for „dude, why now? now i have to stop everything (his recording)“
Can you review tarpon HS BOA performance from this year. i got to see them in indy and it was crazy.
6:08 glad to see Burmese Percussion on here.
Used to be obsessed with this stuff as a kid.
Ps. I feel bad for the kettle drums.
Eric, you should do best college drumlines for a video idea! @EMCproductions
TBDBITL!
imagine you pin this! you’re my biggest inspiration ❤i started drumming in 7th grade and i’m now in 8th, and i get invited to highschool marching band! i love drumming. it’s my life 🎉
In high school I was in pit, one time the guy behind me was playing a brake drum, and he hit it so hard the top of the metal mallet snapped off and flew right by my ear, very nearly had a serious injury there
Now I wanna see you play rock band

That one where he falls on the tenors in the hallway i saw and literally commented: The director: Is the drum okay?
React to the Londonderry High School winter percussion. They did so good last year at Nesba
Freshman year (HS) - all 120 or so people across 3 different bands are taking everything back to the band room after a concert. Apparently during all that ruckus as it is, somebody dropped a chair or stack of chairs (can't recall which) onto our 32" timpanum, breaking the head in the center. Of course, our percussionists' twisted minds (myself included) called the hole a "timpussy," and the name sure did not disappoint 😂
No drumming disaster for me, but No! not the timpani drums. I felt that.
please do not threaten me with a good time (thumbnail)
Unsat salute FOR THE WIN!!!!
Happy 247th Marine!!!
4:10 THATS MY SCHOOL’S DRUMLINE INSTRUCTOR!!!!
One day during indoor rehearsal one of the cymbal players got too close to me (bass 5) during a pass through set and gave me a nice little scar on my forearm.
Also, not drum fail, but if you can manage to find a video of the Blue Stars' first show in 2012... Go near the end of movement 5.
No insta-drum app for Android?
instadrum seems cool and all but it doesn't seem like there's a pc app. that's a deal breaker for me. i don't use my phone for games and never will. plus i don't like the amount of stuff the app asks for access to
I dropped a stick in the middle of a pregame show. Went to pick it up and some people thought I was having a stroke... 😅
My very first recorded performance i finished a piece on timpani and dropped my mallet and in the recording u can hear clear klang sound
The guy from the first video said: dude, now? Now i have to push pause...
I basically did the exact same thing as the 2nd person trumpet cam but I was on cymbal line
Ngl that’s a w sponsor for me because I’m getting a e drum kit for Christmas I think
Biggest disaster at 5:49 was the snares playing matched
Flowermound at 2021 Wylie Marching Invitational Finals. Trombone flies off massive stage
When I still used an electric kit, my dog would try and attack the beater of the bass pedal. I'm pretty sure she managed to rip a piece off one time.
If it’s possible could you put that bass drums together to make quads
My high school marching band was lined up before a parade once and we were getting ready to start marching, we, the drumline, were still dicking around as drummers do, and i went to hit the bass drum with my stick and it went straight through the head. he had to run back to the school and grab a new drum while we counted off and started marching. we got a couple hundred feet down the street ( was movin slow still) and he comes runnin up behind us with his new drum while he had been playing most of his way back to us.
Reminder: drums are more valuable than human life
