In 7th grade you could try all instruments in the band. The score was out of 25. I scored a 23 on the drums and 10 on the trumpet. My best friend played trumpet and I thought I could go over to his house to get lessons. I haven’t been over to his house since and it’s been 3 years. I wish I had chosen the drums and I regret choosing trumpet.
Just want to thank you Eric, i graduated high school in 98 and was drum captain in our marching band, havent played since. After watching your videos I decided to get me a practice pad and some sticks. My band teacher was a trumpet player so ofcourse we didn't have to learn any rudiments and our parts werent that complicated. I wish I had your videos and the internet when i was in school but i didnt. Learning all this stuff all over again is challenging when you dont have others around you learning the same things and to motivate you to do better. Great vids, keep up the good work.
Very understandable story. I am currently in Drumline at Osborne High School in Georgia. I came to Osborne because of a program there. Long story short, I live in an area 20 minutes from the school but 2 minutes from another school. So going 20 minutes to the one I go to is definitely worth it. We do show style band but corps style is good on tenors.
I’m in the broken arrow pit and Zach Schlicher came in a few times to work with the Drumline this year. Such a nice guy, one of the few staff I wasn’t afraid to talk to back when I was a freshman. My freshman year, I played xylo and drumset for the USA themed show that we did. Zach helped me get the timing down on the third movement where we played a swing tune at 204 bpm. It was so intimidating to me as I was a rookie that year, but with his help I got the music down. We scored 4th in nationals that year, still to this day incredibly proud of that season.
Yeah ... Waiting for my "First" Heart from Eric! 😜 ... And also waiting for Vic Firth to list Eric's "Sphincter Flams" Rudiment on Vic Firth hybrid rudiments page! 😘
Could you do a video on how to properly play using a traditional grip? ive watched other vids on here but none of the others really break it down into where you get the control from. Not sure if that made sense but i feel my grip is a hot mess.
@@specialgamer2789 practice the boston crusader’s 2022 rudiment sheet and if you can do all of those (not even at full tempo) with decent sound and technique you can play basically anything
It is amazing how your videos are entertaining and interesting, even though my only experience with drums is some recreational playing lent drumset (my main instrument is bassguitar). And thus although I learnt nothing I could really use, I still liked what I saw, thank you
Eric I have to say that seeing you with a beard has been different indeed. I did notice a little grey in that beard this morning, and it actually didn't look bad. Great fun seeing you with a full bushey beard.
I think TH-cam's doing that thing where they secretly unsubscribe people for some reason...I was absolutely subbed to you before but I wasn't when I clicked on this video.
The thing is you can create as many Gmails as you want and do the same functions for each one. So if TH-cam created many incognito accounts just to boost subscriber count well then that’s just what it is
Is a tu-charles not just a flammed 5-stroke? These are super common in many European systems, including Swiss and Scottish stuff. As far as I can tell you called the flammed 5 a flammed 5 only when the roll was first. Nice chops as usual
With over 600 named hybrids (at least) this video could have gotten absurdly long. Maybe there are 1000, but I personally have a list of about 550 and I know there others that I don’t have listed. It gets a bit absurd. Of course, the nonsensical size of the list of hybrids isn’t alone. There are 300 or 400 non-hybrids from either historical sources or other countries’ rudimental systems. And I’m not saying I’ve heard of everything that’s out there either….😬
A grace note is the notation of flams and drags while a flam is a note followed by a grace note. Grace notes are played lower than the bigger note. Glad you asked. Happy Drumming
There's a rudiment that I've never seen used that I've "created" called a Blam. It's a flam but the flam note is a buzz. Much like regular flams, they make everything else significantly harder when you add them to other things.
@@mrafflin Yeah! It's kind of interesting to me that it's not common, especially with DCI, because it's so simple in concept but opens so many doors to other rudiments. Take any rudiment with a flam, make it a blam and you get a completely different sound with a hint of extra difficulty.
@@Max-dd4ow That seems to be more common than I though. It's a very interesting idea. What I love about the flam note being buzzed instead, is that it's sort of like a crushed ruff or drag instead of a specific rhythm. I'd also assume that it's a lot easier to start rhythms with the blam since the room for error is slightly higher.
Video 8 of Loopy Grandma asking Lil' Peanut to play Wipe Out by the Ventures!!! Maybe be dressed as a Surfer Dude? with Surfing special effects! ... I know you are very creative, so I expect something EPIC!
Do you poke a little hole in just the top ply on your tenor heads? It gets rid of some of the weird overtones, and I can't tell if you did it on all your drums or not
Hey EMC productions I was wondering if you would make christmas cadences as my band is going to he performing at the fiesta bowl in arizona on December 18th!!! We have alright cadence but if you could make some music that would be not terribly difficult and fun for the Christmas theme that would be awesome!!!
Jim-Chu-das…..Eric, you let down Jim Ancona, the UDrumline, and most of all yourself for not including a hybrid that mr Ancona blessed us with. Unreal.
He says at 0:36 that there are 54 rudiments and that this video will only review some of them. I'm sure book report will be rated in a forthcoming video! 😘
I know I’m late by a year or two. I just wanted to inform you that your “SPHINCTER FLAMS” pretty much already exist as “FRENCH FLAMS” which is a hybrid rudiment.
Video 5 of commenting until Eric reacts to my former high school's drumcorps and Steven to react to those flub-centric corps in my area. Ngl I can't even do a proper double stroke roll due to being out for like 5 years let alone all of these rudiments. I'm planning to buy a practice pad this christmas btw. Hopefully I can still spare some cash to buy some waifus for motivation.
I would please love if you could give me a buddy rich warm from slow to fast I subscribed to your station please please give me a slow to fast buddy rich warm up thank you boom
I’m a trumpet player. Idk how I got to this channel, I’ve watched lots of videos. And convinced my parents buy me a drum pad.
Yes sirrr just don’t give up on whatever is here. If the stuff is too hard start slow and work up from there
I play on my friends snare. I’m not good but it’s fun lol
@@a_britelite See the thing is let the fun become a drive for you to learn more about the drum you play

I always forget what a small world the marching arts is; Zach also taught me!
Same here!
@@noahwilliams9747 same
Yeah it’s so weird; nick angelis is teaching me right now!
Trying out for Auburn's drumline, so this is pretty informative. Also shows me that I got a hell of a lot more work to do😭
Hell yeah dude. Auburn's got a great drumline
@@Bobobo-bo-bo-bobobo yeah bro, they're damn amazing. Imo, one of the strongest college drumlines
@@tachunkthetrunk9053 I’m a Drumline kid in Georgia and saw Auburn play at the Cobb Exhibition. Great choice of band with a very big Drumline
Roll tide
@@tachunkthetrunk9053 another amazing drumline is the Oklahoma State Drumline. They're squeaky clean
Yeah ... Waiting for my "First" Heart from Eric! 😜 ... And also waiting for Vic Firth to list Eric's "Sphincter Flams" Rudiment on Vic Firth hybrid rudiments page! 😘
FIRST COMMENT! Good job.
@@EMCproductions Yeah! So many Morning People were in class! 🥁🐔🥁

You nailed those inverted inverts, good lord. Getting back into the drumming scene after a few years, would love a part 2 of this
Is there certain hybrid rudiments you need to know for marching band
@@specialgamer2789 practice the boston crusader’s 2022 rudiment sheet and if you can do all of those (not even at full tempo) with decent sound and technique you can play basically anything
I’m in the Osborne Red Sea of Sound marching band in Georgia I’d love to see another one of these hybrid rudiment vids would help greatly
This is awesome! You should do a video where you try and play some of the hybrid rudiments that we come up with, I’ve got some crazy stuff in mind
It is amazing how your videos are entertaining and interesting, even though my only experience with drums is some recreational playing lent drumset (my main instrument is bassguitar). And thus although I learnt nothing I could really use, I still liked what I saw, thank you
I learned all 40 of the essential rudiments, and now I'm excited to play these ones!
Hey I recommended this on the first video where you ranked the rudiments. Sweet!
I would've bumped Deviled Eggs one tier higher simply because it sounded like a steam locomotive taking off.
You deserve to be #1! I’ve been subbed to you for a while now and I love every video. I’m a drummer myself and you’re inspiring.
Eric I have to say that seeing you with a beard has been different indeed. I did notice a little grey in that beard this morning, and it actually didn't look bad. Great fun seeing you with a full bushey beard.
6:16 laughs in scv 2018 snare feature
For those who dont know its litterally just this rythim really fast. Its very cool.
Can we appreciate the flam consistency at 3:23
I would very much enjoy more of this list
I’m saying bro. Need to master those cheeses and Flam 5’s before I go any further
@@proddbyjr2024 same here tbh, just wanna see some good EMC content
I would like to see a video where you play Terry Bozzio's "rudiments from hell"
Didnt know these existed. Do a part 2 for sure
BD 99 played those sphincter flams in the opener snare break, eh?
Yea a part 2 or more :) whould be very nice.
I like knowing your opinion about those hybrid rudiments.
As a trombone player, I'm not sure how I ended up here but I love his content
I think TH-cam's doing that thing where they secretly unsubscribe people for some reason...I was absolutely subbed to you before but I wasn't when I clicked on this video.

Please do some more hybrid rudiments, there’s a website with like 500 and there’s some good ones I think you would like
Being that you can grow one you should see how long it takes for you to grow until you become number one EMC Channel
I love this stuff lol in high school I used to always combine hybrids to make funny names and then grid them. Cheesy Chupacabra, Walter White, etc.
yes pls part 2
There's no doubt your a pro & very talented! I'd like to see how fast you can really play! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Yes to part 2
When you said I demand I bursted out laughing

Being the 69th like on an EMC video is so satisfying 🤤
I've just started marching band, and I want to know, what is the difference between a grace note and a flam of there is a difference?
A grace note is the notation of flams and drags while a flam is a note followed by a grace note. Grace notes are played lower than the bigger note. Glad you asked. Happy Drumming
yes
May I ask what sticks you’re using?
You should do a break down of Double Beat 9000
There's a rudiment that I've never seen used that I've "created" called a Blam. It's a flam but the flam note is a buzz. Much like regular flams, they make everything else significantly harder when you add them to other things.
Oh yeah I’ve tried that too, it’s fun to also put the buzz on the main note
Pataflaflas in particular can be tricky
@@mrafflin Yeah! It's kind of interesting to me that it's not common, especially with DCI, because it's so simple in concept but opens so many doors to other rudiments. Take any rudiment with a flam, make it a blam and you get a completely different sound with a hint of extra difficulty.
I’ve done that but I buzz the main note of the accent
@@Max-dd4ow That seems to be more common than I though. It's a very interesting idea. What I love about the flam note being buzzed instead, is that it's sort of like a crushed ruff or drag instead of a specific rhythm.

Great lesson!
Where would you put nice’n’easys?
Bumping my own comment. Still wanna know!
What about grandmas!?
Nice
Good Morning!
damn a donner plug??? good job working the brand deals
Yeah but can you play triple inverted, ruff-cheesed malf drag taps?
Dose the foam sound bored help with sound proofing a little bit

Do you poke a little hole in just the top ply on your tenor heads? It gets rid of some of the weird overtones, and I can't tell if you did it on all your drums or not
I would like a part 2 where you include 'Flambuzzadiddle Swiss-Dragachudda Inverted Cheesy Taps"
Why isn't Herta on the list? You even mentioned how much you love it.

When he doesn’t include double flam drags: 😫💀

S class? Saitama your drum coach?
wait is that eggbeater guy's last name really Brohard?
Tu-Charles is just a Flam-5
P.S. Pete Sapadin should be lionized as an ambassador and rhythm ninja.
Nice breaking bad poster
Now you gotta make separate videos for each one so everyone can get good at playing them🤷🏽♂️
I know I’m late by a year or two. I just wanted to inform you that your “SPHINCTER FLAMS” pretty much already exist as “FRENCH FLAMS” which is a hybrid rudiment.
