@@monkmutha8235 I think his video was how to transcribe an existing song into a dci-esce show, I don’t think he’s made a video on how to transcribe drums specifically into sheet music, which I would love to see!
You should perform for us sometime and let us rate and comment your solo! I'm sure it would sound very interesting; I know I've never heard a flub I&E solo before, so it would be exciting and cool to hear what you have been working on!
#ewquadssuckuseaflubdrumthosethingsareawesomeandthemostimportantsectionthemarchingband Steven have you managed to finish boot camp without getting dropped yet?
Just gotta say- I’ve always enjoyed your videos but never really fully appreciated them until recently, when I started trying to put together videos and actual editing and everything, not to mention the actual difficulty of a lot of the stuff you play, which you somehow make look super easy. Great job 👍
Man. I envy true drum talent like this. I wish had beginner level fundemental trainings back in the day. That foundation is so important. Great job, man. That was so fun to watch
I absolutely love your videos. From your chops, insane, to your video editing and transitions. Also, you're incredibly well spoken. Hard to come across that with everything that's online. Super props. Keep it up! It's channels like yours that make youtube great.
Feel you on the timpani. I won a PAS $500 scholarship at All State solo contest. I was also the only senior percussionist to compete in All State solo contest (snare).
I played snare in I&E one time. I got into an argument with a drumline member over how difficult it was. So I switched from trumpet to snare, and got a higher score than him. Percussion became my instrument of choice and I haven't looked back since
Small world - for the 2012 tenor duet where you note that there isn't a video, my uncle (Jack Murray) was in that winning duet. I'm sure he has the sheet music if you're interested
I've transcribed sheet music for songs I was trying to learn on violin and ukulele, but it would be interesting to see how it's done for tenor and similar instruments, like drumkit and snare.. I don't know much of the nomenclature for drums so it would be neat to have some of the instrument-specific symbols and flare text explained.
I'm really impressed that you were so competitive in DCI I&E especially because that is what I am most familiar with and they would have an amazing amount of people with so much talent competing. .Cadets did not allow I&E when I marched and I think they still do not allow it. They like to maximize every minute of the day for rehearsal. I don't think they had a 3rd soprano category for me anyway.
That jungle book solo. My word. I played quads all throughout high school and I guess you guys were just on a different level. I honestly don't think I could have played that no matter how much time I had. It was just more rudiments then I had. Wow.
Bro that part right before 5:45 it was the cleanest throwdown ever , super tight not a rim in sight unless it was supposed to be there that’s the stuff that fuels my need to pick up sticks and bang on things , from one drummer to another thanks for that no I’m gonna go watch it a few more times
Can you please do a video explaining rudiments? I am a high school band director and always confuse the notations and what they’re supposed to be. I have shown your videos to my students and they love them!
I think I remember you from DCA 2014. I was the mallet champion for that year and in 2013. Came in fourth in snare in 2014. Nice man! I still have that misspelled medal 🏅 😆
The best drum corps are made of the best staffs 😏 I slammed subscribe, and would love to see a vid about the transcription process. It would be a useful tool for me and my students.
Honestly you should've just said, "if this video gets 15,000 likes I will compile all my I&E solos into one book and sell it as a book you can buy on the merch website and ill call EMC's I&E Solo Book." Tbh I'd buy it
Off topic, but do you ever see David Oriente? He used to teach me at Evolution in 2011 a long time ago. I think he is in the military (army maybe?)_doing drumming as well. Also, solid ass playing as usual.
Yo if you see this comment, have you got any good recommendations for handheld crash cymbals under like $100? I have no idea how much cymbals cost lol. I'm pretty much the designated crash cymbals guy in my middle school band because nobody else wants to, and I don't have a set to practice with. Thanks! Currently trying to learn parts for Prelude, Sicilliano, and Rondo by Malcom Arnold as well as Joyce's 71st New York Regiment March if that helps. Those are way above our normal skill level of songs, but I am going into a high school with a pretty good percussion, and they march during the spring and summer, so if there's something both useable for orchestral and marching performances that would be great. Once again, thanks for your time. I'll try to do some research myself, but I'm not very familiar with the brands and such.
I do have my priorities so .... I'm watching the video and my Granddaughter (who spent the night) is doing the dishes! Now, since it's done I will make her some breakfast ... (9 am PST) 😋
I played in a wedding band with Ian Hunt! Small world. Cool guy.
Ok
I was not expecting to see you here lol
Oh snap! It's Adam Neely. Great to see you here
Adam neely f/w marching percussion??
Collab with EMC when?
Definitely do a video on transcribing, that’s a useful skill
Pretty sure he did
Please🙏🙏

@@gradyking4739 oh yeah, you’re right
Could you link to it? I haven't seen it as of yet
I've been working on a flub drum I&E for several seasons. But my circuit doesn't have a flub category. THAT'S JUST PREPOSTEROUS!

That Matt Penland is one Smooth Criminal™️
Matt Penland's was based on Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal". I knew it right when I heard it. 😄 Clever!
Still wondering if Annie’s okay.
@@ireadysucks3026 Lol!
I thought it was based on the rock cover of smooth criminal.
Knew it sounded familiar!
That one solo is obviously based off smooth criminal by michal Jackson.
Yea what he says
Yes
Biggest uno reverse card I have ever seen
Ikr?
My group Flamin 4 won the ensemble division of MAPS I&E in 2019, so I we've held the title for 2 years with one performance
oh cuz coronuses lmao !

This is not talent. This is hard work. He started at a young age and practiced a lot. Like a lot a lot. It's never too late to start!

I like how you made the cursor following the music even more transparent.
Yessir, *Sergeant* Eric Michael Carr!!
Sergeant ...
@@RedDogMamaHD oh my bad
His title should be "No Rims".
We can now OFFICIALLY call him Sergeant Butthole...
@@RedDogMamaHD Where did you find out he was a Sergeant?
Should see if you can have a “get together” with other military percussionist. Your all in the same region.

Brandon Zackey is the Drumline teacher at my school! 😂
kevin thompson's brother is my high school battery instructor holy cow!
He sounds awesome!

Also Eric, can Mask Guy can do a Drumline battle against Brandon Olander?
Wow it is even more impressive the second time damn that was the all time throwdown ever
Yes teach us the art of transcribing please! I’ve done some but I have so much more to learn!
That jungle book solo. My word. I played quads all throughout high school and I guess you guys were just on a different level. I honestly don't think I could have played that no matter how much time I had. It was just more rudiments then I had. Wow.
I ordered a hybrid snare pad from Xymox in May and haven't gotten it. Oh...and the "May" I speak of was in 2019.
I appreciate the quality of your video editing, thank you.
5:45 that was smooth criminal if i’m not stupid...big if
"And......have a good morning." I always love that.
Oh yeeeaaah smooth criminal in that tenor solo!!
Bro that part right before 5:45 it was the cleanest throwdown ever , super tight not a rim in sight unless it was supposed to be there that’s the stuff that fuels my need to pick up sticks and bang on things , from one drummer to another thanks for that no I’m gonna go watch it a few more times
It’s funny that you lost to Joe Hilling, My sister was his wife’s coworker.
Joe Hills from Nashville, Tennessee
Oh boy Xymox . . . Been waiting on a Hybrid Snare Drum for nearly 18 months

Congrats sergeant! Spent Saturday with a couple of your fellow Marines collecting toys for Toys for Tots!
EMC having 16k subs for almost a year
Suddenly a 70k and amazing channel growth to 122k because EMC is awesome
Congratulations on your promotion!
We only had solo and ensemble for concert season and I think it was in April or May.
I love the updates for your Xymox rims
Hey! My second-favorite drummer named Eric Carr!
I can't be the first person to have made this joke.
EMc: alot of these guys are joining youtube or military band
Me: _signs up for Army Band_ (._. )
Rims don't dare get in the way of EMC's sticks, and yes, how did you possibly transcribe all of that?!
Congrats on your promotion!!! Thank you for your service!!
I just went to pasic for the first time this year it was pretty awsome
Nice Smooth Criminal Reference!
8:01 always interesting to see techniques named after someone you know :) (the Casey Claw)
0:28 great job on the promotion! It's only a matter of time till sergeant major
Congrats on the new title. That sounds impressive!
Congratulations on your promotion! Keep up the good work!
Sheet music credited to Nice Arce?
In England that's funny!
That Nick Arce solo is dope
I went to North Texas with Matt Penland and got to witness him work on his 2009 solo
Yuuuttt!!!! Congrats on the promotion - from a fellow Marine and Sergeant. #backbone
Love the channel and the videos. Keep it up! Semper Fi
The best drum corps are made of the best staffs 😏 I slammed subscribe, and would love to see a vid about the transcription process. It would be a useful tool for me and my students.
that smooth criminal solo by far the coolest
Ooh you beat Zackey. He was my tenor instructor back in high school. Funny seeing his name here.
I would love to see that transcription video
I see that weird time signatures that switch often and weird rudiments tend to win.
5:43 first part sounded like Smooth Criminal by Micheal Jackson .
It is
Damn, those scrapes in Penland’s solo were butter
So when you do the crossovers, do you use open note heads only when you cross or do you do it when you uncross too?
it's just when you cross
Hey guess what! I’ve also been waiting for a Xymox product! I’ve been waiting for... (pause for effect)... 19 FREAKIN MONTHS!!!
So you guys did a duet marching for two different corps? cool I think that is the best part.
Amen on letting members compete in I&E!
Smooth criminal, great song choice for a solo
Congratulations on your promotion Sgt EMC.
Bro did you make a video on how to transcribe from video?? I was literally looking for that video!!!
You should definitely make a video for transcribing stuff. I know I could use a tutorial!
I’d love to learn more about transcribing!
Congrats on the promotion!! Time for a Flub Solo!! #Flubs4Life
Yeah... you are really frigging good...

Yo Kevin Thompson writes for my high school drum line
His brother writes for mine
Congratulations on the promotion!
Shit, drumline is a small world, indeed! I marched with Kevin Thompson’s brother Matt at UConn!
Smooth criminal that line was Annie are you ok
Low-key was NOT expecting to see Kevin on this list
I would love to see a transcription video
Yooo 5:08 sounds like smooth criminal
Good job Eric
CONGRATS SERGEANT!
what did you think of the pasic small ensemble snare champions of last year? eastwood high school.
I spy Jeff bickford in that lot
9:45 I see what you're playing 👀
Would you please cover Rosanna or Africa by Toto with all percussion parts?
If you cant beat 'em, join 'em.
Edit: forgot to put this, congrats on sergeant Eric!
Your like to dislike ratio is insane.
Off topic, but do you ever see David Oriente? He used to teach me at Evolution in 2011 a long time ago. I think he is in the military (army maybe?)_doing drumming as well.

5:07 is it just me, or does the first part of the solo sound like smooth criminal
Yes sir, DRUMMER SERGEANT LETS GOOOO
How much time do you put in to get these solos down?
Smooth Criminal, Sarge.
One of these songs I know was one of Michael Jackson’s song!
And you were good when you do these drum solos! 👏👌👍
Oorah from Gloucester County, Sgt. Carr!
Dude... Would be awesome to see you and Lessons With Marcel to a cross genre colab...
Congratulations on making SGT.
