Thank you all for the kind words and support for the channel! You guys are the best 💕
Best of luck to you, Sir. Thank you for your service! If I may make a suggestion, how about doing a collab with BYOS on the history, differences, and, (most importantly), the similarities between Drum Corps and HBCU drumlines.
- Derrick B., US Army, '90-'98
I went to boot camp with you homie I got out too, feels bad but keep grinding and doing your thing!
I emailed you a while back about UD, but I have another question. Are you a Sinfonian?
As a US TAXPAYER (which how the US Gov't gets their money in the first place) , I am OK with whatever you did while you were in the active service of our country! What bothers me more is the HORRENDOUS WASTE of money that Congress and the Senate sucks up in their salaries every day!! And all other Government agencies who feel entitled to waste taxpayer money as they please !!
Someone way up the chain probably didn’t like the 69 and “blue cocky” jokes (murr they reflect badly on the uniform blah blah) so they decided to come up with some excuse to shut it down. Pretty bullshitty. But hey, I remember how good it felt when I finally got out. Good for you.
Senior military leaders - “why is no one reenlisting?!” Also senior military leaders - “let’s threaten an article 15 on this random marine corps sergeant for promoting what he does”
For being a MUSICIAN nonetheless, not even like filming yourself getting smoked or something. They gave him a medal for making Corps look GOOD. Great leadership.
Honestly I’m surprised nothing happened until now. I always figured someone desk jockey with a big up their but would’ve gone after him for the whacky videos and all the drums in the barracks.
Senior Military Leaders only get to the Top by Selling out to Affirmative Action/Woke B.S....the Pentagon and JCOS are full of them.
As a former active duty member and current reservist, I totally understand the stupidity behind some of the things the military does. I’m glad you were able to pop smoke before it got too dumb. Your content is fantastic, highly entertaining, and I always get a good chuckle for your edits and puns. Just remember: once a marine, always a marine. HOORAH!
Oh lol I was the 420th like.
You’re the biggest liar I’ve ever seen… any real marine would know the difference between Hoorah and Oorah. Oorah is marines and Hoorah is army
@@urmomgay7539 sorry just trying to look for the person who asked
@@urmomgay7539 army is Hooah I think
@@urmomgay7539 They never even said they were a marine specifically, you just inferred that. Also Army is "hooah", so shows how much you know.
I'm gonna crack up in a couple years when there are tons of social media experts in the military making videos to try to get people to enlist. They'll realize how ahead of the curve you were.
Keep kicking ass man. 2022 will be the year of EMC. Your channel's going to blow up even more than it already has.
Honestly. They'll kick out the people getting them new recruits now and then be like "oh nooooo we cant get any one to join up, what are we doing wrong?"
I already have started to see Military ads that are a bit more 'hip with the kids' lol. They have ads that poke fun at social media, and how the military is a 'real' option in life.
They're already doing this. I was a Marine Recruiter and we were using Facebook to recruit people 10+ years ago. Part of our daily routine was going on Facebook and looking for folks in our area 🤣
@@dereknichols5031 my small town had one Marine guy on recruit duty, so he followed all like 2000 of us going to my high school on Instagram and tried DMing us lol.
@@Cheeseburgerman23 yup, back then we quickly figured out that FB had a 42 person cap for sending messages per day to prevent spam. 🤣
As a former member of the Commandant’s Own, I completely understand the bullshit, but it saddens me that you’ll be leaving because it will truly be a loss for the Corps in multiple ways. You were an exemplary Marine and a credit to the unit. Hopefully, you’ll join the Alumni Association.
I have mixed feelings about you leaving the unit. Heck, I have mixed feelings about retiring from the unit. But I’m super proud that you got a house and you’re following your dream. I may never speak drum, but I tried to click the Like button as many times as you clicked the sticks… 😅 and I watched the 5-minute ad at the end. 😵💫 So, here’s a penny (or whatever it’s worth). Now, go change the world.
Beard and long hair now? Seriously, though, thank you for your service. I'm looking forward to what this next chapter brings.
I was so happy when the photo was posted that you received the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal. You definitely deserved it for all your hard work. And the Digital Drumline Project would most likely not have occurred if not for your work creating this masterpiece, *and without your Morning People participating.*
It's a bummer that The Commandant's Own will lose a great percussionist. Best wishes to you in your next chapter. Not making your rack, and maybe not shaving every day, is a great feeling (take it from a former Marine Musician).
Just continuing the pattern of the US losing wars.
@@dinospumoni5611 Yeah, musicians totally win our wars. The music sends the enemy running.
The removal of all those rigid rules was invigorating, but also felt pretty strange after 9 years. The weirdest thing for me when I got out was going to a barber and being asked what kind of haircut I wanted. Having a choice in the matter was not something I had actually prepared myself for... I didn't even know the names of any hairstyles, much less have an opinion on the one I wanted. They made me get out of the chair and look through some books.
This is crazy. I was literally thinking of joining the military just for the band aspect of it. Granted Im not crazy good, but still. You showed many many people what its like to be in the commandants own. And you were nothing but good for the Marine Corp
Don't do it. It's not worth it anymore.
Why are you guys trying to discourage him? Let him do what he wants to do. It's not like he will be sent to war. Musicians almost never get put in danger.
Love your content. I’m prior military, and I know how inflexible the system can be when someone wants to enforce a rule-your content was likely helpful in USMC recruiting-this is short sighted enforcement of a rule designed to stop fraud and abuse. Thank you for your service.
I…what? You’re kind of a PAOs dream. Having a servicemember who gains RUclips fame be generally positive about the organization and passionate about the skills of their primary MOS is pretty much a unicorn. Glad you’re keeping your head up but that is some heavy head in 4th point of contact action.
Agreed, I'm not entirely sure what their issue was...
"Got my nasty unmade bed, because I don't have to make it anymore and I choose to be nasty" the Sergeant sarcasm is strong in this one lmao
I’ve never been this early to one of your uploads. I hope you have a good morning as well.
One thing they can’t take away from you is “once a marine always a marine”.
Semper Fi Marine.
Thank you for your honorable service to our country.
Let’s not forget drummers and buglers lead warriors into battle for many major wars throughout American history.
You carried an honor and a tradition with honor and tradition.
Absolutely legendary.
It’s really a shame that our military’s leadership can be so amazing and so terrible at the exact same time.
The best thing I ever did was join the Marine Corps. The best thing I ever did was LEAVE the Marine Corps. So many things I miss and will always cherish but the absolute stupidity and buffoonery of command is the biggest shitshow I will NEVER miss. Enjoy the new journey brother. You're top notch talents will take you far. Semper Fi.
As your former coworker, I always enjoyed your effort that you put into work and into your content that you post here in RUclips. It sucks that the Corps is screwing you like this but theres always a greener pasture. If you need anything, you know where to find me. Semper Fi brother.
Congratulations! Seriously, eventually your usmc commitment would get in your way. You’re too talented for those restrictions. Excited to see how you evolve.
Isn't life funny how things are going along swimmingly then something or someone outside of your control or influence exercises their influence upon you. I appreciate how you looked at your situation, weighed the options, and went with the option that 1-benefited you the most and 2-fired your old boss. Super good decision-making. I'll keep watching!!
You are a constant entertainer and a fiercely skilled performer. Thank you for the content, the videos, and HERES TO THE FUTURE!!
The butthurt is strong in the officer corps and they can't stand seeing enlisted members being successful. Best of luck and Semper Fi!
I will never understand why higher ups get so ridiculous over the dumbest of things. 3 years left as an army musician and I can not wait for that final day. Well done brother, you’ve done the service, the country, and us percussionists proud!!
Just finished MCT at Camp Pendleton and am now awaiting orders in admin week. You were definitely a major influence in my decision in enlisting, even though my MOS isn't even music related. Definitely helped get me through boot camp too. Always thought to myself "if EMCProductions can do it, so can I." The time you said that a season of DCI was physically harder also helped me a lot mentally. Sucks that you aren't in anymore. Was kinda hoping to meet you in the fleet lol. Hopefully everything goes well for you.
Stay motivated and don’t become one of the “shitbags” man. It’s awesome you’re watching these videos while on your free time at MCT.
Good luck man, went through Pendleton 4 months ago. Don’t become a shot bag in MOS School.
The Coast Guard lets people film on their ships while on missions but you can’t film in the music room? You should join the Coast Guard’s band. Same benefits. They’re just as good as the Marines and they’ll treat you better.
@@flarfatron2190 my understanding has always been that the Coast Guard and Marine bands are the two best ones. I hear different people say one is better than the other but I can’t speak to that myself. They’re both really good and very prestigious. I do believe that the Coast Guard’s drill team is the only one that uses functional rifles that aren’t weighted to make them easier to control but of course that has nothing to do with drumming.
But they don't have Tenors, do they 😉
@@RedDogMamaHD he can play tenors on RUclips all he wants. 🤷♂️
@@RedDogMamaHD the USCG Pipe Band has tenors.
@@craigcampbell1843 Thanks for the info! Good to know! BTW, Loopy Grandma was in the Coast Guard Auxiliary in the 1990's. My husband taught Coastal Navigation to the public, as a former Navigator in the USAF (KC-135 and as a Navigator Instructor at the former Mather AFB in Sacramento, CA) Loopy Grandma has multiple talents! 😘
Marine Corp: Take the videos down
Sgt Carr: okay…
Marine Corps: Now get out!
Eric Carr: I’m putting the videos back up.
Marine Corp: Shit…
Damn bro, that really sucks the way the Corps treated you at the end, they shouldn't have done that. Hope the best for you and what you do from here on out, stay faithful, always Semper Fi no matter what bro, you the man!
I just graduated usmc boot camp on Friday! You were one of my inspirations for joining (mos musician) so thank you and I’m glad you’re doing what’s best for you and your channel!
Congrats! Stay motivated and don’t become what we in the fleet call a “shitbag”. Do good things
What company?
Wherever you go or what decision will you make, I will respect it and I will continue to support you EMC, not only you but also the USMC DBC. Both you and The Commandant's Own inspired me to be a musician today. Thank you for your hard work and being an inspiration to people like me. You got a long way to go! Explore and enjoy playing music. Semper Fi!
Congrats Eric! The USMC is losing a tremendously talented drummer, musician, and creative individual. Look forward to watching your upcoming videos and following your journey.
10:43 that has to be fake. No way it's that's close to perfection LOL (if it is, that is literally amazing lol)
Congrats Man, I’m glad to see one of 450 marines I graduated with doing really well and seeing the amazing journey you went through these past 4 years. Can’t wait to see what the world will bring to you. And also, screw who ever wouldn’t let you keep up your RUclips channels basically. Anyways, keep doing what your doing.
Now you can fulfill your lifelong dream of being chicken man full-time
Being awarded and punished for the same action is peak Marine Corps. I'm a little late to the party, but being a retired Gunny and former marching band geek, I'm glad the algorithm finally introduced me to your channel. I'm off to binge your videos.
EMC production is too pog for USMC
Although it really seems to be a bit fishy how they told you to take down those videos, I think you did the right choice by not fighting the system, leaving with awards and so on. I am very excited about your upcoming videos, so keep them coming.
“Notorious EMC”! Good luck to you, I’ll still keep watching!
Enemies gonna figure out all of rubber chicken secrets.
Thanks for the reminder of why I got out of the Corps. Also…all future public performances of the Commandant’s Own should include a plethora of “EMC Productions” shirts in the audience. 😏
Eric, I am terribly sorry to hear about the MARINE CORPS' loss. Keep on doing what you're doing! You are a great source of comic relief and inspiration in my teaching job. You've got fans and friends in Texas. `Salute` - Spencer
Aww man I hate that happened to you, well at least you didn’t get dishonorably discharged :D
Thanks what you’ve done for the marines! And the drum corps!
Love you Eric ❤️ I've said for years that you are a big part of pushing the activity forward. Thank you for all you do!
so happy to see you moving on to greater and bigger things as a youtuber. coming from a high school percussionist your content has always been some of my favorite
Marine Corps' loss. Too bad it shook out that way. Best of luck moving forward Eric!
Your channel is what got me interested marching band and drum corps. Thank you for your service and can’t wait to see more awesome videos from you!
As I’ve learned, everything happens for a reason. And to know that means that maybe this happened so you could move on to greater things such as going full time!! Hope you grow even further than you are no since some people I know watch you which is amazing.
Amazing story. The house looks packed. I'm excited for the things to come.
I always feared that there would be a problem with you using government property for monetized/"unprofessional" videos. Its a shame they don't understand how much PR the USMC is getting from you.
Wish you the best of luck emc. Love your stuff, glad you can finally fully invest yourself in your work.
The marine corps will be losing a talented musician :( it was amazing watching you these past 4 years and watching your channel grow. Can’t wait to see what’s in store
I vividly remember taking the big step to get out of the Army and what a huge life change that was. I wish you well in this next chapter. I am excited to see the excellent upcoming content you put out.
Thank you for the update. Sorry it went down the way it did. I always kind of wondered what the higher ups though. You were doing things that while not wrong we’re going in directions that I had heard from another marine that “they would never do”. Thanks for the service and I absolutely only follow and watch several Facebook pages because of knowing of you. Also a few other members and former but finding your page is what truly drew me in.
I’ve been watching your channel for a very long time now, your videos helped pave my path into drumming and helped me through my toughest days. I thank you for everything you do Eric, whenever things seems stupid and dumb, just know that you are having such a large impact on the viewers like us. It’s a bummer things played out the way they did, but this has opened so many more doors for you to live your life freely. I am more then happy for what your future holds, and I will continue to watch, and spread your videos. Thanks again Eric 👌
I discovered your channel during the beginning of the pandemic and it's been very entertaining. I always view the ads[well let them play], despite the inconvenience!
Best wishes, Eric!
Hey man, you gave it your all and did, as your award said, you brought a lot of positive spotlight on to your unit and garnered competitive interest for others to join. Just because some 0-6+ in legal was butthurt doesn’t negate the fact you made a positive impact. Don’t second guess your decision to pop smoke. You served honorably and made a tangible difference. Well done, Diablo Perro.
All your videos have helped so many of us during lockdown over the past 18 months... I have played guitar and drums my whole life but found so much fun watching your videos with the mix of drum line transcription, silliness and incredible skill. Your best is the audition tape that had the judges of drumline competitions rolling because of your greenscreen, rubber chickens and ingenuity. Who else but EMC?? You're born for this and we are with you all around the world! 🇦🇺
The chicken clip, not in govt time, had me belly laughing! 😂
Semper Fi Eric . Glad everything is going good for you now and remember no matter what "Once a Marine Always a Marine". In my 20yrs in the Military I've seen some stupid things but what they did to you is definitely near the top. You definitely got the big green weenie! Kudos to your command for sticking up for you and your well deserved end of tour awards! Keep up the great work and hope to see you around>
it’s a huge bummer that this is how it must go, but i think we can all agree that we are super pumped about EMC becoming #1 and more EMC in our lives. (that’s a lot of EMC right there.)
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! Seriously, you're amazing and I hope to see everything you have planned for the future of your channel!
Sorry to hear about your experience. I've been in the Navy for 18 years, drumming on the side as a hobby. I watch your channel for ideas, entertainment, and also to show my friends and family what drumming is really about! Best of luck to you, and know that military legal silliness gets to us all eventually!!
I’ve always enjoyed your vids. They are entertaining as well as instructional. I particularly liked the one on tuning bass drums-very helpful. Thank you for your service and best of luck in your transition to civilian life.
Exactly, tuning, stick control, etc. A well of knowledge.
How many of our military leaders have made money off the blood of our soldiers? I'm former USAF and I would not recommend military service to anyone right now.
It's so great to see all the well wishing from your peers in the military. I agree with all they've said: I look forward to everything you have to offer in the coming years, and wish you luck for the future!
it’s a big step in your life! I’m so glad things are working out for the best so far. Much love
Is so upsetting this happened to you. You’re great. I’m concerned for the state of our military
I hope this change treats you well! It's a shame the military made the choices they did. I have a few students that really enjoy your content, as do I, and I'm confident it has helped fuel their passion for drums. Keep doing what you're doing man!
Your videos have always been a go to. Not only due to you having fantastic writing and chops, but I could see somebody that’s not even a drummer enjoy your videos due to your creativity. Thank you for your service! I’ll definitely be watching your content in the future
My first two drum instructors were in the Marine Band at Parris Island when I was a dependent there from 83-86. My last was at Quantico in 92-93. Keep up the great videos.
first of thank you for your service. second keep on doing what you do we love your videos.
That really sucks man. Oh well, new things await.
Outstanding content - very creative! Thank you for your outstanding service in the Marine Corps!
Good luck with your new endeavors Eric. Appreciate everything you do.
Glad your channel is back up and running in its entirety. But man, the military really does have a way of pushing out its best guys--my husband (and so many airmen he worked with) was recently one himself. Very excited for you:-D
Also--thought about joining any string bands?? ;)
Just in time for the start of DCI 2022. Any Drum Corp would benefit from you as a tech/arranger. Crown would be a good place! 😀
I'm so glad to hear that you are happy with the way things are going (given the circumstances)! Looking forward to all of the great content I'm sure you have planned (:
Ive been watching you since my junior year of high school since I was considering both careers in the military and careers in music. I can’t believe how much the channel has grown, and I can’t wait to see what awesome things you’ll do!
I am sure this is disappointing and you are probably a little worried but I think there is a silver lining. You might have maxed what you could achieve on RUclips while being in the marine corps. Now you can choose teaching and performance opportunities that will give you more time to devote to you channel.
Congratulations on your accomplishments in the U.S. Marine Corps. 🙂🙂
And congratulations again on ditching the military and fully engaging in the American Dream on your own! 😎😎
“This is the drum room”
Well if there was one thing this house was missing… LOL
Hey eric! been here since the beginning! I was, and still am, disheartened to hear of the videos getting removed. I'm glad you're taking this new path in your life and now you can set your own course and film whatever you like!! I'm excited to see what's in store for you in these coming years!
How is using facilities that you're entitled to use as a member, on your own time, while not only reaching a big audience but also attracting more people to join the USMC A WASTE OF GOVERNMENT RESOURCES?! I'm glad you got away from that so there's nothing to hold you back and I cant wait to see where you go from here.
Seeing you in that home studio, I think we all need a way to pay you for gigs, but not something like Fivverr because they'll steal your money.
Glad to see that you’re going to be doing content full time. Your videos are always a pleasure to watch
I subscribed to your Patreon, you deserve at least 10x the number of patrons than you have now! I am not a musician and I know nothing about drums except what I learned from your videos. I only know about you from your reaction to TwoSet Violin and I got hooked right away and am now a huge fan of your channel because you are such a funny personality and you don't shy away from doing the hard work like applying for multiple world records or transcribing complex drum solos and editing them with scores and extremely complex split screens. You put in the hard work, you have charisma (or carrisma?) and talent, you deserve your success and I hope going full time will get you close to being the number one EMC channel in the world very soon!
I was wondering when the USMC was going to crack down on you. That shit sucks and shows how out of touch the military continues to be. Instead of engaging with you and possibly collaborating with you, since you are a fairly popular RUclipsr, they say, 'remove these videos or gtfo.'
Well...bye.
With all honesty Eric, thank you for your service. Can't wait to see what will come on the future!
That sucks man that you could'nt stay but wish you the best on all your endeavors. But it was great knowing you and I'm a fan of your videos. Keep up the great work 👍
I own that same "Music is what feelings sound like" wall art! That's awesome.
Man I've been a huge fan of yours since I got the pleasure of seeing you perform at PASIC back in '09 or '10. You are in my top 3 favorite tenor players of all time. (Tim Jackson and Matt Penland, in no particular order). Congratulations and thank you for your service!
Thank you for your service!, and so sorry to hear about the BS you had to deal with.
Just discovered and subscribed. I was DM with the Crossmen way back in 1987-88.
We'll support you no matter what, EMC! As always, have a good morning!
Let’s gooo Emc we all will support you man ready for another super epic time on the emc channel
It's a shame you got discharged for something like that but I am glad to see you're still doing well. Thank you for your service and for making videos. You inspired me to join my school's marching band and that really means a lot! I love your content and look forward to seeing more from you in the future.
Eric, I've been watching your videos since Facebook Jam 2. Can't believe I've been around for 5 years, but I'm confident that you are going to do big things as a full time content creator! Thank you for your service, and good luck!!!
Sorry to hear this, I’ll be praying. But glad we can still watch your awesome videos. You got this
Congrats brother I've been out of the Navy nearly a year now. Transition is can be weird, but worth it.
Hey EMC, I've been watching your vids for a couple years now since I was a drum captain in high school; I've graduated, I'm in college now, and while I don't play drums anymore I still love your videos! I think this change will be positive and I hope you enjoy your life as a social media influencer. I look forward to seeing many more videos from you!
Thank you for your service! I love your videos and I look forward to more!
Excellent content that panders to my favorite highly specific hobby. Keep up the great work and congrats on the house!
best wishes to you eric. my wife, and daughters (9 and 7) and I have enjoyed your videos over the years. We have seen you play at the Lincoln Memorial, and at Iwo Jima. my kids got really excited when they could see you playing on the field. My oldest (9) is following in my footsteps playing the trumpet, (i know not as cool as the drums), but hey, we can't all be awesome as a drummer is, some of us have to play melodies too lol. My dad retired from the Marine Corps in 79, and although he is passed on, I think he would have agreed with your decision to move on. Like you said, you have gained a lot of notariaty and the exposure on youtube and being in the Commandant's own has helped you in that endeavour. We will continue following you and wish you the best! Oohrah! and Semper Pullus!
