Would you be able to learn a whole halftime show in 1 week?
Yeah! Loopy Grandma's got this! ... NOT!!! 😜
I probably would. I’ve done it plenty of times.
my middle school band did this and halftime shows are fun
Sempi fi
Although as a show style drummer I learn the drill in 2 weeks, I could certainly learn a show in a week
EMC. You make some good points about drumming. But you have to remember when you watch a TV show, you are just seeing the tip of the iceberg. They gave us 1 week to shoot the band portion of the show. The producers wanted it to really push Tommy and it did. He really did spend lots of extra time getting help (in the evening) so he could be on the field. I say, "get to be on the field" because it is a privilege to get to perform with the Cornhusker Marching Band. That is not something the staff and faculty take lightly. Nor did the members of the drumline. Ben expressed a feeling that was widely held by the drumline members and Ben is one of the most real/sincere people I have ever known. There was a very real chance Tommy would not perform during that halftime. He had to earn it. As to your point about equipment. We didn't have a new matching set of drums for Tommy to use. We learned about the project well into our season and did what we could. Remember, the whole set-up for the show was for Tommy to be "fish out of water". Putting him into unfamiliar situations and letting things happen. We never had to "redo" anything. They took video as things happened in rehearsal/performance and then edited to what the viewers saw. Nothing was scripted. Was an interesting experience for sure. And yes, we very often put an entire halftime show together in a week. Doug Bush Assistant Director of Bands, University of Nebraska.
Great note DB 👌🏻
Thanks for your comment and that's interesting as it's really not how most reality TV is shot. Here the basic plot was contrived but the rest sounds like they filmed what happened and it was dramatic enough in its own right.
I don't doubt that this is true. Look when does not become a drummer of one of the most successful rock bands of their time without being very hardworking, tenacious, and determined. You don't make it to that level without being very serious about the instrument you play. He had to go through hell just to make it to where he's at. There may not be a whole lot but he takes seriously but when it comes to his drumming I'm sure he takes that very very seriously. One can be a drunk, skirt-chasing, drug using hard rock drummer and at the same time be very hardworking determined and dedicated to their instrument that they play. They don't make it to the top without having those attributes.
To be fair, marching percussion has greatly enhanced my ability to play drum set better. Started out on kit and was decent, but when I came into DCI/WGI that changed my way of thinking and made me much more advanced. I’m also grateful for the fact that I got put into the front ensemble when I went to high school. I used to avoid middle school xylophone like the plague. But because of pit, I played piano literature out of my league like Debussy.
Tommy gonna get put on flubs if he doesn’t step it up.
Hey EMC! Current Washington Township band senior here. My girlfriend is actually a freshman out at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (twp alum), and they do have practice that early in the morning! They're always up at the crack of dawn rehearsing.
You should probably specify that Nebraska is a university
Purdue University drumline alumn here. We would often have call times earlier than 7 😂. Working backwards from kick-off it was something like (-90m pregame concert, -240m pregame inspection and dress rehearsal, -330m drum cleaning and warm-ups). For a noon game, that'd be a 530am call.
@@danman60067 lsu finna dog on Purdue in football
@@justayoungpercussionist9370 how so is the distinction necessary?
@@danman60067 Yea you won't catch me waking up that early for band. Also since you're a Purdue alum do you happen to know a Dr. Jay Gephart? He was my all-state director and I believe he's at Purdue right now.
this is a reoccurring nightmare I've had for YEARS that I showed up to my Drum Corps and walked onto the field not knowing SQUAT about the show, drill, music, etc. and just running back and forth playing wrong notes trying not to get run over
Good morning! This is video number 31 of me asking Eric to make a set of tenors out of differently sized or tuned snare drums.
Imagine there's a drum set in a show
Edit: shows with professional drum kit players or something.
We used one in our show this year!
It’s quite common for front ensembles to use drum set
I played drum set in my front ensemble marching band show this year. It was awesome.
3:28 No that is ACTUALLY the real time the CMB (Cornhusker Marching Band) rehearses.
We would rehearse everyday M-F from 7:00 AM to 8:20 AM in the stadium, and then Drumline shows up at 6:30 AM for their daily warm-up. If the weather is terrible, we then move rehearsal up to 7:30 AM to give time to move stuff to the indoor field, which is usually the university rec center field.
Then on Thursdays or Wednesdays, the whole band shows up at 6:30 AM to meet with their section leadership for memorization checks on the show music.
And then for home football games, the band meets 5.5 hours before kickoff to do a dress rehearsal, split into pep bands for pep rallies, pre-game concert and then march down to the stadium.
Yep can confirm! It's super early but it means we get to practice in the stadium every day instead of a practice field like most big college bands
this guy is not that intelligent to act like a know it all. Your expectations of this youtuber are way too high, I mean he talks like marching band is a career hahahhaha
I spy a young Dave Hall (he was at TCU while I was at UNT shortly after this was filmed)!! I remember him telling me about this and how ridiculous it was lol
Yep, we had some EARLY rehearsals on Illini game days, some of which we were actually sober for
Hey EMC, so just to clarify with you on one part of the video. I'm actually part of the cornhusker marching band at the moment performing in their Frontline, and every morning is the same. We get up and head to the stadium by 6:30 am, sometimes the drumlin is there at 6:00. We also learn a whole new show for every home game and as usual the visitors fight songs. Even though we might go through all of this, we are all so honored and happy to be a part of this marching band. Love what your doing on your channel, and super glad you did a react to this video!!
yOu eArN tHe sPoCkS!!!….One at a time.
Love the mid 2000s fashion
wow, my highschool only had trips, so your worried about Tommy not having the 5th an 6th tiny drums we only had 3 tops. Funny enough the guy that played the trips in my HS his last name was very similar sounding so his nickname was Mark Trippsly. He was a really great guy, he helped me out a TON, backed me up against some bullying issues I had, him already being this 6 foot+ 200+ pound monster of muscles and drum skill was helpful in that. He was a mentor and a great friend. I wish we all kept in touch but me having undiagnosed ADHD and autism didn't help and today I have zero contacts from HS, or from ITT, or from the two universities I attended, or work, or... ok, I don't have any friends, but I can still play the drums.
3:33 I have marching band at 7 in the morning every school day of the week and some after and the class
This was a very well-made video, I learn something new every day!
You put my favorite drummer in your video, you have me HOOKED
Love your vids and your channel bro. Keep the vids coming man!!!
and thus begins good morning, my name is EMC productions
Who else recognized Malaguena right away?
Lol I’ve been watching an unhealthy amount of old school Scouts recently, so I recognized it RIGHT away
I played it in high school.
I thought I was the only one. I recognized it right away, it is one of the songs my band plays for field show
Wearing the show shirt that i played it in rn :)
Malaguena brings back memories playing in highschool
I actually challenge the idea that drum set and marching band are two different worlds. When I was in high school I had an instructor who explained that the goal of the drum line was to sound like one person on a drum kit. That inspired me to apply marching approaches to drum set playing.
In fact, the song featured in those clips, Malagueña, we played in my high school and I adapted the drum line score to drum set. So, I think there are parallels for sure.
It's more the other way around. The drum set was invented so that one person could play the role of an entire percussion section. And of course there are similarities between drumset and marching band, but I do agree that they really are two different worlds.
They really are different. It's one thing to improvise your own thing, totally different to come from one world and skillfully play the repetoire of the other. They're related, obviously, but they're as different as classical sax, jazz sax, and rock sax
Parallels, yes. As in completely different shit happens in parallel universes ;)
I get what you're saying, but I played kit and also marching band and it was a challenge to not be _constantly_ playing each "section."
So true!! You must have had a great band leader!!
Tommy Lee playing quads on Malaguena. Who would have thought?
2:06 - I had to pause and appreciate that one.
love you emc
I met Tommy Lee on tour years ago, I asked him about an article from his early days and he told me he NEVER marched in Drum Corps or marching band. So when I watched this when it was on he pretty much proved it.
But there is a picture of very young Tommy marching with quads though.
@@NickDrummerful I know that confuses me too but thats what he told me
@@williamdavanaria4727 I don't believe you
@@onewildandcrazyguy9213 to be honest dont really care. Besides if he did march corps or marching band , which he said himself he didnt. Can you explain why he couldn't read music?
That show was actually pretty good & funny AF 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼
Even if someone wasn’t a fan, having a celebrity around like that has to be quite the weird situation.
Especially if the person is intended to be an abrasive one.
im in marching band in high school rn, but at one of our last games the opposing teams band was playing the EMC cadence, I recognized it immediately
AWESOME
Love the vids
We need EMC goes to college!😂😂
Tommy Lee goes to college was hilarious 🤣
🤣 he caught pure hell
3:29 , 7am, Zero period was common back when I marched in high school. But I couldn’t tell you if it was common in 2005.
Regarding early mornings, when I marched at Penn State the report time was generally 5 hours before whatever the kickoff time was for the game that day. So a noon kick would result in a 7 AM (really 6:45 or 6:30, to get equipment out and get to the field) start.
hahahaaha bro my drumline teacher nate campbell is in this. he teaches at UNC now
damn, I left the Cornhusker Marching Band only a year or two before this, I was jealous
The stick trick at the end. What is that called?
Sick
Sup!
My band meets at 7am every day I didn’t know it was so early
They are playing malaguena!!
Hey I love your vids
But what’s the best marching snare drum for a good price
They actually didn’t change the time for the show. I don’t go to the University of Nebraska but know a lot of people that are in the band there and that’s when they rehearse for some reason.
Loopy Grandma just landed in St Louis... One more stop to go!
7 am college call time sounds about right ugggggggggg
Motley Crue came back to play Lincoln and the drum section marched in … it was cool
YES
How did you get so good at snare? Please tell me.
Hey do you think you could you do a stick trick video that includes the trick SCV does at about 10:38 during their 2018 show?
That’s what he basically used on all of his beats he was a marching band drummer in high school
im writing a cadence but im worried im making it a bit too long. about how long should a cadence be?
👍😎 Never been a fan, Tommy Lee went to my rival high school, played drums in the marching band then. Royal Oak, Covina Ca. 1975-76
This is 1000% me🤣🤣🤣
3:38 Go Nate!
That’s literally my local college.
Man Simon hitting the buzzer had to hurt
Pls explain 2 height technique?
I've seen several drumline players make the transition to a full kit with no problems. can't recall it ever going the other way. the two styles don't overlap as much as one might think.
He was in the marching band in high school that's why he was able to play that stuff after a week. That's pretty impressive that it came back to him after taking years off. The other people in the marching band had been playing for years and took no time in between marching band in college and marching band before college
I was in marching band for 9 years &there's no way you could already know the music showing up at band camp because you're not given the music until you get there.🤣
Could you imagine being a neighbor and Tommy Lee is loudly practicing?
Video 14 of asking EMC to make a video of him playing the Rock Band game series
My marching band got to appear on a segment of the Rick Mercer Report, a Canadian TV show where said celebrity Rick Mercer travels around Canada and tries out weird and unusual things. I remember there was a scene where he was talking to his cohost, Canadian singer Jann Arden, and at the end of the scene, she blows a whistle, and completely unscripted, we all stop talking and look at them. Rick comments that we're well trained and Jann yells out about how Rick was "Touching her special area" and we all "Oooooh" like the teenagers we were.
Drums n stuff
March music is a genre with its own qualities. The same can be said if you set a marching drummer to sit in on a jazz band. Some may know how to transition if they took that option back in school. But, most likely a march drummer will never be able to feel comfortable in a jazz session.
Just enjoy the entertainment value of a rock drummer wanting to explore a genre outside of his world and commend him for at least giving it a try. Hopefully, as a result, other rock drummers may be inspired while they are in school to want to participate in a marching band because of Tommy's exposing them to the idea that it is ok to explore outside of your musical genre.
Many rock drummers can play a lot of styles of music. Tommy Lee played drums and marching band in high school. He wouldn't have been able to play that well after a week without that sort of background. He had taken me years off of marching band before he did this show. Well the other people in the marching band had been playing continuously for years before they were on the college marching band. They hadn't gone p years without playing drums in a marching band before playing college marching band like Tommy Lee did
thats funny saying 7 is early for band camp at my college freshman year we did 2 weeks starting at 5 am untill 10 pm and sophomore year 3 weeks of 6:15 am untill 10 pm
My high school would consistently meet at 6:45 for marching band, 7 isn't too bad.
This is funny lol🤣
Definitely gave him the retired/spare parts set of tenors. Especially if he’s scripted to throw them out of frustration.
Tommy Lee was in marching band in High School.
I like in Nebraska, but I don’t know why there are no Spock’s in my state
They edit in the audience on agt??? Is this for every performance??
You should check out Season of the Tiger. It's an old BET reality show about The World Famed Grambling State University Tiger Marching Band.
Video 3 of asking for you to do a Christmas Cadence
When I was in college, we had marching band M-W-F from 7:30-9 AM then Tuesday evenings. So, starting as the @$$hole of dawn is not that unusual.
5:29 Lol, members probably were enjoying it unless directors were being obnoxious. I can't speak for the drumline culture at every large university drumlines, but obviously, while they all strive for excellence, most members value having a good time over being good. Inverse of DCI and WGI that respect. Rather than it being it's fun to be good, you're good if you're fun.
Always finding that balance between having a whole lotta fun and not letting it prevent you from being clean. It's not too hard if the culture is good, but there's definetely more bands without that balance than there are with it, whether that be they mess around too much to be clean or they're just too serious.
Hi EMC can you review cab Calloway school of the arts marching band for a video
My high school does 6:45 practices
Day 3 of asking EMC to audition on AGT with the Hollaback girl song
What if you and stevie T did a collab
had no idea that AGT had no audience That's messed up
If I have to audition, and potentially be bandmates, with someone who wears gages, I'm leaving
Love motley crue
He definitely had a real attitude of wanting to learn, but it was fueled by coke lol 7:30
You don't make it to that level as a professional drummer without that sort of an attitude
I'm not sure whats up with people's obsession with him when Danny Carey exists. I'd like to see him on a drum line!
Its alot different for percussion instructors, drumline section leaders... gotta take it seriously at all times, especially to compensate for any percussionists like Tommy.
Hi emc ur my inspiration to join drumline at my high school and I’m a snare drummer and also if you want I can give you a TH-cam channel to look at some of our half time shows👍
lets see it
@@reborn4623 ok I will send the channel when I get back from school In like a few hours
First love the video
What would you recommend for a really new snare player
Correct! Good job.
Work on basic drumline exercises, technique, and rudiments every day.
Reality is wheb instructor Ben heard Tommy was going to do a reality show with them he orobsbly sh*t himself. But acted unimpressed for the drama of TV. Takes weeks and months to get ready for a show, not a few days.
Pitch tuning for quads way higher than set.
Malaguena arrangement best of old school drum corps.
He did a good job for a several days of prep.
Seems like he really applied himself. Not sure many rockstar impressario's would subject themselves to that.
They def should have let him solo in the pit to feature him for a song. He is a legend after all.
I see why they did it that way to provide TV drama, but ultimately that's no way to treat a rock superstar.
Unfortunately that's not the changed practice time for the show. UNL always has and still has practice stupidly early
I'm a drumset player who learned how to play in a marching band. I fall on both sides of the spectrum. I have pretty good marching chops and technique, but I can also play drumset very well.
This isn't rocket science and I can respect differences of opinion except on this one. For somebody who hasn't played in marching band for decades to come into a great college marching band and after a week is able to keep up even for a short time at a college football game is a remarkable feat.
Yo
Correction, when I drugged out old man thinks he’s a real musician
Hi
It’s the fact that all the things you said don’t happen in drum line was literally my high school experience. Cymbals at the start of band camp freshman year. Bass drum halfway through. Quints sophomore year with no experience and recreating and writing out all the cadences cuz I wasn’t taught and there was no sheet music. Literally a “Here’s your instrument. Figure it out and do it perfect the first time around. 🙂” Time of my life though. Four years later and I still yearn to go back to ‘18 😩
Also forgot to mention that we got to school at 5:30am for practice. And had another practice from 3:30 to 6:30pm after school 🫠 so 7am sounds generous af to me
Yoooo first
Edit: it feels illegal to be this early
Let’s go I’m within the first 150 people to watch this
When I was in Drum Line 1977 to 1981, we played Tri-Toms. For a high school we had a huge band and drum line. Over 200 total in the band and 17 in drum line. Today the “tenor” drums play more complex rhythms, but to me it is boring to listen to.
They did Tommy so dirty with this. The guy has been a professional musician for decades in one of the biggest bands in the world and they made him look like a complete idiot
I think he did remarkably well for somebody who hasn't been in marching band for decades.
