I’m a 73 year old buzzard I played drums for about 30 years from night clubs as a young man and general business (weddings, class reunions, bowling banquets, Bar Mitzvahs etc.) as I got older. Can’t read music. I got by just fine. Nearly 20 years with the same 4 guys a very popular group. Self taught never got through book one. Always made more than scale and I may hold the record for eating more free stuffed chicken meals in a lifetime. I love your channel I’m just about bedridden live alone and listen to audio books, podcasts and watch UA-cam videos for hours everyday. Especially this last year with COVID. You’re a remarkable percussionist and you really make me laugh. You work so hard on your videos it’s astonishing. I look forward to your videos you should have a million subscribers. And have a good morning.
This is legit JOJO MAYER technique: You might be embarrassed to hear that everything the guy at 9:22 explains is legit Jojo Mayer stuff. He's setting up his kit in a way to hit the drums at a most flat angle to get best rebound and sound. (Even though Jojo tilts his snare more away from himself.) The rim click that hits also the rim of the high tom is a technique Jojo explains in a video about getting a 'clap' sound from an acoustical drum set. It's just not very well performed in the shown video. I'd love to see some upvotes on this comment so that the techniques explained at this point don't get the bad credit that they don't deserve.
Timo Heinrich thumbs up from me. I stumbled on to it when I started putting all the toms on stands for more flexibility. With them flat it was hard not to hit two rims, wrong rims, knees, etc. So I adjusted it a bit to make it consistent and use it and the rims a lot more as triggers. You can sneak in another cool sound by hitting a rack tom with the tip of a stick with your hand right above the floor tom. Focus the butt of the stick down onto the floor tom as is bounces and it makes a nice one handed flam-tap. It's kind of like holding two marimba mallets letting one hit earlier (or single stroke roll), but the front and back of the stick are the mallets.
Also the sound of the tom will be much more spread out and round when the tom is angled that way. This way the tip of the stick will hit the head more flat and use all of it's potential, giving you that round sound that lights up the whole shell. If you were to hit the tom with only the top of the tip, the sound would be more "pingy" and tense. The way this guy also describes how his toms are angled more towards him not only makes the sound of the drum more weak, but potentially hurts himself. Having the toms angled towards you can make your wrists locked in a really uncomfortable way, potentially hurting you. Also this kills a batter head faster than anything else. This video was pretty fun but this part was just stupid and uneducational by EMC.
@@wiisportss Of course the improvement in sound will especially given if you use a stick that fallows the same philosophy. The tip of the stick needs to be shaped in a way that gives you a lot of contact surface on a flat angel. Some sticks will not give you that.
I'm not a drummer but the videos other than the punk beat one hurt. I'm not even a true percussionist and I can't even find the beat to most of these, also after I heard the first triplet I wanted to click off lol
I legit just learned that the reason my doubles go from awesome to straight dogshit is because when I transition from mid-tempo to high-tempo, I'm still trying to catch the rebound with my fingers. For twenty years. Which is apparently impossible. Damnit.
greg gall (triplet guy) is actually a really great metal drummer, he just didnt know any of the correct terminologies cos he's probably self taught. maybe he shouldn't be teaching, but he's pretty damn good at what he does which is performing.
People do play that double rim click thing. The goal is to get a flam sound with it. I think it sounds bad, but people do it. I believe rdavidr has done this a bunch
I know nothing about drums (well i am starting to get some drum names and other ideas just watching), but i find your videos so fun! I was lol in the RL, along with you. My favourite reaction of yours: "Please don't". I am so glad there is a job out there for me at a place like ExpertVillage, where i could play drums for my very first time like/as an expert! Keep it up Eric, that was fun. I marvel at your standing, high velocity, non stiff drumming,. nj
I subscribed because you have a poster of The Brave Little Toaster in the background. “The Master never played triplets with Expert Village.” “Coz they’re stuck in a wall!”
The entire time I was imagining Eric explaining to the caption head or director of percussion about how he broke the shells of the $2000 dollar quads while doing a quint crossstick
Idk why people think they know everything in drumline. Drumline isn't just wacking drums and hitting the drums loud. There is a lot of technique and form when it comes to drumline, different drum shapes, totally different tunings for drums, and larger sticks. And of course never be stiff. I have been a section leader for 2 years for my high school drumline and even though I don't know everything about drumming, I know enough to teach my fellow students correctly.
As a self taught intermediate metal drummer of 11 years I found those expertvillage videos highly offensive. I can't believe they would allow that weak content to even get uploaded in the first place and someone new who legitimately wants to learn this amazing instrument would honestly be doomed learning from some of these guys and without the help of a proper teacher to help them fix the simplest ingrained errors and I believe everyone should have access to quality music lessons, (like your channel) you are a great drummer man keep it up!
10:14 Yes, it‘s a thing. So kind of. You could play the tom rim as a flam before the rim click so you get an electronic clap-like sound! But yeah, how he explained it was... Weird..
2 years late to the party, but yea, just saying "rim flam" is a better way to explain it than that guy. You also don't need your toms flat to play one, my setup is more conventional and I can do it. I suppose a flat tom would make it easier, but a rim flam certainly isn't reason alone to switch.
I just recently found your channel and I’m really glad I did. Great quality content. I’m trying out for Music City and Cavi’s soon so until then I’m gonna keep that notification bell rang and enjoy your videos!
I can't believe I am just finding this video. My brain hurt watching those "lessons". "Expert" village? Face:palm. Take out the "lessons" and this video is epic. Semper Fidelis brother.
Just when I decide to explore drumming topics on my left or right of field, like your drum line themes, you put the zoom lens on the wacky extremities!
1:35 love that stage. Red curtains, random PAR cans, biker jacket. I bet he has cologne vending machine that dispenses Brut, Hai Karate, and English Leather for $0.25 a' spray hanging from the floor tom. All it needs is Need a pole in the background to make it complete.
6:30 Ngl I had to Explain a group of people in my gym class what drumline was the MPA(Since im from Minnesota its the Minnesota Percussion Association) and WGI and other drumline events. Ngl it hurt me so much to explain 1)A Paradiddle 2) Choreography 3) Scoring 4) stick handling 5) what dynamics are, what crescendo and decrescendo is 6) Why battery has sticks taped and last but not least 7) Costumes
I was once shocked to see a video on expert village where the person didn't seem like a complete moron and actually knew what he was talking about. On the other hand, it was so long ago that I can't remember what it was about...
The double rimshot is something Chris Dave does to get a handclap style sound by “flamming” between the two rims. Ive seen maybe 3-4 other professional drummers utilize that concept. Definitely gonna have to try that reverse drumset traditional grip. 😂
10:25 Kit drummer here - what I know as rimshots are where you hit the head and the rim of the drum - just hitting the rim of the drum like you're doing I've always heard being called cross-stick (because you lay the stick across the drum)
Eric, you have obviously never heard of the quadruple cross stick. I'm offended.
Didn’t expect to see you here
Finally. Someone gets it.
Wow, strange seeing you here dave
I was about to mention you haha
Barry B Benson I didn’t expect to see you here either
Drummer: "Notice I'm playing the hi-hat slightly open"
Eric: "Oh I noticed"
Right
Kowalski analysis moment
Lol I couldn’t stop laughing at that!
Can we get the music for "Tendonitis: in 30 seconds or less?"
Justin Jones oh darn
HAHAHAH! for real!
That one is a winner!
I MADE IT BUT I CANT SHOW YOU IT

Ikr
As a brass player, this video he watched hurt me
I’m a clarinet and it hurt
WE GOT A DRUMMER OVER HERE GUYS
tendonitis in thirty seconds or less lmfao
That one and where he puts his camera in the HI Hat killed me lmao
I was seriously starting to tear up from laughing so hard at the second video 😂
I got such a laugh out of this. Never dabbled in drum line, the rhythms you interspersed in between were so good!
I legit just learned that the reason my doubles go from awesome to straight dogshit is because when I transition from mid-tempo to high-tempo, I'm still trying to catch the rebound with my fingers. For twenty years. Which is apparently impossible. Damnit.
"Mom, can I have triplets at home?'
"We already have triplets at home."
Triplets at home:
It was over the moment he said “right left right, right left right”
greg gall (triplet guy) is actually a really great metal drummer, he just didnt know any of the correct terminologies cos he's probably self taught. maybe he shouldn't be teaching, but he's pretty damn good at what he does which is performing.
^
Most of these are alright. The only people ever whining about them is just for snob reasons.
@@kishascapeI mean, I’m an instructor myself and I try to make sure everyone hears correct terminology
He’s not a great drummer if he doesn’t what a damn triplet is
Imagine going to a restaurant and there is a band playing, so you look over at the drum set and see this: 10:39
Ok... 4:47 it's possible that the paper is there to muffle the snare... It's not likely, but it's possible
i find it hard to believe that guy is smart enough to know what muffling the snare even is
DragonEyeZak you know he plays in the marine band right
@@JonCorrieri I think @DragonEyeZak means the guy who's playing the drum in the video - not Eric....
James Thatcher yeah that’s my bad. I didn’t really read it correctly haha
@@JonCorrieri Yeah that's what I meant, youre fine haha
Bro it's Stevie t but for drums
Except i can actually finish this video
koshy bear idk this guy is cringy in a funny way but Stevie T is just cringy
Emc: drums
Jared dines: rythm guitar/vocals

Jojo Meyer does that
Double rim click sounds good for swingy r&b
Doesn't have to sound bad at all. 😁
James Gadson did it with Bill Withers. Can’t be all wrong🤟
Can you do a crash course guide over tenor playing like so he can see
I didn’t know at 3:46 that Shaggy from Scooby Doo would try to ‘play’ the drums.
This video made me subscribe. I like how you exposed the bad video tutorials and then educated with humour. Good stuff.
This is my new favorite channel and UA-camr. It’s like an endless sequel to Napoleon Dynamite after 20 years of waiting.
bruh when emc becomes a roast channel
i love it
TwoSet but for marching and shit lol
My daughter, a flute player, is staring at me from across the room as I cackle like a lunatic at "How to get tendonitis in 30 seconds or less."
Props for finding an assortment of items, placing them to appear dirty and then cleaning it up for a single point. Lol
I'm glad you have the little clips of you playing in between because wholey ravioli there is a difference!
I love those little intermissions when he uses the quads as like a commercial break
At the beginning I was like "Damn Stevie T has changed"
I thought it was Stevie T too

I can’t stop laughing over 6:57 😂

“Coz they’re stuck in a wall!”
I play trumpet, and even I knew that traditional was backwards lol
That was my fave part!
I play snare drum in marching band and it made me wanna kms
No one:

Not even a single soul on this earth:

The guys talking about drum set up tips taught me for 3 years dudes a genius
This is me and my my friends messing around in music class in a nutshell
I'm a flat tommer myself, I like small sized toms over the bassdrum as well.
I like flat toms too but I just use a single rack tom mounted on one of my cymbals and then 2 floor toms
DUDE your my fav channel

Thank goodness for resources like Drumeo and EMC. These videos made me cry
"Let's add that crunchy hi hat"😂 This should make it as a meme😂😂
expertvillage:teach you how to hold a stick the traditional way
Marching snare drum players:
👁💧👄💧👁
One of your funnier videos for sure. Was great to watch on for my birthday
I''ve been convinced for years that Expert Village is a parody channel. It HAS to be. If it is, kudos to them for the long con.
“Tendinitis In 30 Seconds Or Less” is easily the best title to a drum solo I’ve ever seen!!!

the fact that at 13:21 he sais ill live the link in the description exactly on the beat is so sattisfying ahaha
I love the fact that your corfram box is your laptop stand so you have space for your keyboard
Love the content man! I stumbled across your boot camp video and can’t get enough
Also, "clean up your room, you nasty thing," definitely brought me because to my Camp Lejuene days, hahahaha!
This was so funny to watch! Nice vid!!!
could you imagine a staff sgt waling in at 10:40
I can't believe I am just finding this video. My brain hurt watching those "lessons". "Expert" village? Face:palm. Take out the "lessons" and this video is epic. Semper Fidelis brother.
this man does the most for his videos and I love it.
Now you’re making me feel bad for never learning roles and just playing singles every time
I'm a beginner drummer and this video boosted my confidence by a lot. I think im gonna apply for the drumming spot in dream theatre.
in my opinion, this is the best video you made! all of your vids are great but this one is my fave🤣🥁
Hey man, it's DJ from Crown. This video was hilarious! Keep up the good work.
Me:shows my friend emc production
My friend: instantly becomes drumline expert and perfect musician after watching one video
I've been waiting for a video like this for a looooooooooong time
10:08 Yes, man is a "thing" that is used for tipe of color in drumming, is a sort of a flammed side stick.
Anyway you are Amazing 🔥
The one thumbs down is the "coonga" player.

I have never laughed harder at a drum related video, glad I found your channel man
Who else doesn't play the drums, but watches anyway because the content is so good.
This was the most hilarious video I've seen in ages. I guess the only purpose of those videos is to make you feel better about your own playing
Dude your random little licks give me life

I love how he is set up in a barracks room
He plays tenors for the Commandant’s Own
You should have done a snare solo with “traditional” grip
this was way funnier than i was expecting haha good job!
When the guy on the bongos said guitar I went,”ohh he’s a string player, that’s why his rhythm is like that...”
I will be able to say that i'm here sincr 28k subs when this channel becomes big. Very good job it was fun to watch.
8:03 thats a memory foam pillow lol
4:55 "do a little painting - i call this one 'turds in repose - a still life'"
The double rim is sound effect used in electronic music. I've seen videos of Jojo Mayer utilizing and demonstrating why he does it.
This.
I was once shocked to see a video on expert village where the person didn't seem like a complete moron and actually knew what he was talking about.
On the other hand, it was so long ago that I can't remember what it was about...
10:37 had me dying! 😂😂😂 idk why but it reminded me of that meme of the guy from pimp my ride. Awesome video keep it up!
This is hilarious. Love it man. Keep these coming.

I’m so glad I found this channel 💗
I have the greatest idea for the most epic band made of youtubers ever. Eric on drums, Stevie T on guitar and Davie504 on bass.
Yes. This.
Jojo Mayer uses a double rim click in some songs, from mounted tom to snare. He gets kind of a "raking" sound from it.
10:25
Kit drummer here - what I know as rimshots are where you hit the head and the rim of the drum - just hitting the rim of the drum like you're doing I've always heard being called cross-stick (because you lay the stick across the drum)
