That's a classic. We actually had a new bell sound so our school bell ended up in one of our songs because it was so annoying (it's also on my channel if you wanna hear it).
@@tommyblackburn9842 I loved doing that one. Especially a bit farther away where someone wouldnt expect a percussion instrument but close enough to hear it crisp. Agh so good
This one time, I was at a drum practice, and we stop, because the battery tech hears something outside. He goes "Is that laughing or screaming?" And it's just outside the band room so I say "Just turn the met on full volume voice 4 and that should chase them away." Seriously, voice 4 is the spawn of Satan.
After I figured out the thumb roll, I did it on everything, and I made some discoveries. If you do it on interior walls, some people think it's an earthquake. If you do it really slowly but with many bounces, on a concert bass drum, it sounds like impending doom. Essentially, it should be like bowing a string instrument, where you don't hear each hit, but you cause it to vibrate.
It's such a cool technique, it's annoying that I tend to have unusually dry hands. Need to have a moisture pad otherwise you're smearing saliva on instruments, lol. And you need to get the amount of moisture just right, too much and you get slips and an uneven sound. One of the things I wish I got better at.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:16, John 3:17
Bruh same. I had a sub in band once and play the theme. She looked at me like their was something wrong with me but she couldn’t say anything because she would expose herself
Ah yes, drummers/percussionists clowning... I recall being a 15-year-old full of angst and would intentionally play an entire concert piece on Marimba/xylo a half step sharp or flat. Band director could not figure out why it sounded so bad. I regret nothing.
UUGHHHH the voice metronome brings me so much pain. It reminds me of the beginning of the season in marching band. If we suck so bad even with the metronome, we get the voice and we all die inside. I did love Jig 2 Though!!
I was the best at thumb rolling at my high school. I started thumb rolling everything. I found out you can make some really cool sounds by thumb rolling a concert bass drum really slowly. Now I can sometimes make people think there's a minor earthquake.
Duuuuuddddee I literally spent an entire summer learning Jig 2 on a makeshift quad setup made out of my trap set. Being a base in the marching band and having able to pick up the quads and be the only one who go ham on them during pep band even over my buddy who’s been our only quad guy all 4 years is pretty lit (technically the only song I know but still a crowd favorite woo!!)
Alright here's my best one EVER... Senior year of highschool and I'm the center snare at Brookwood High School. One game I'm tired of hearing the trumpets talking in front of me on our March down to the stadium and I realized the power I wielded as center. I count off D&K (You may know it as funky drummer or something else) and played it out. I then immediately started it again. And again. And again. All the way to the stadium, the band thought it was funny the drum line was having a good time, it was great. Then we get to the stands, and for the first half, I would constantly signal to the drum majors that I wanted to play a cadence, and they would let me. I played D&K. Every. Time. So after half time comes and the drum majors are at least minorly peeved off, but I'm not done. I have to get sneaky, so I start passing down the line what cadence we will play next, and when to start D&K in it, exactly the same troll as #29's takeout in the video. The BEST one was after literally begging the drum majors to let me play one more cadence, swearing on my life that it wouldn't be D&K, and they let me. I counted off Ahh Brookwood, a carbon copy of Ahh CC which is a college somewhere I think, and if you're familiar with it it has a big buildup leading to one bar before the "drop" where everyone tells "ahhhhhhh brookwood, what!" It's literally the definition of hype, and the band and school love it. So I have 300 people in the band hyped as hell for the drop with a breakdown with cymbals and headbanging and all around raucous behavior, when right after the call, it gets almost dead silent. Except for one snare, starting D&K. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk, that was the best prank I ever pulled in drumline, have a nice day if you read this far.
Pretty sure the hi-hat with a different pitch is just hitting it softer and with the tip of the stick, whereas the regular 8th notes sound like they're being hit with the shaft of the stick
One thing I remember my high school drum line doing is that they would say "hold up, wait a minute, put a little bass in it" and play stuff. But they apparently didn't realize that it was borrowed from Family Force 5's "Love Doctor" so I guess it was one of those drum line traditions that got started some years ago and they just forgot where it came from. You playing the women/girl in the wig gave me strong "kelly shoes" vibes way back in early 2006 RUclips days 😂😂
I taught at a charter school last year (Mormon based charter school mind you), and one of my percussionists would hop on the kit at the beginning and end of EVERY class and play the hub intro. Literally every student in the class knew what he was playing and would laugh. I also had a student that would play Mo Bamba on his Bari Sax every morning, but of course I had to pretend I lived under a rock to avoid exposure. 🥴
Good morning! m6 of harry potter (assuming you exclude the pickup bar) should be D# and E# not natural. And the B in the second to last bar should be Bb
There's also a D near the end of the Hedwig's Theme excerpt (4:20) that I'm 95% sure is supposed to be a D#. The difference is that the A is just a typo (he actually plays a G, since it's a C Major chord), but actually plays the D# misprint.
Hey Eric, if it’s all right with my band director would we be able to use some of the cadences that you have going on in the background for our drumline? Just asking because we’ve had the same cadences for almost 12 years now and the crowd is very much starting to lose interest
Last year, our drumset guy played the hub theme in front of the director. The director had no idea what it was and was a little confused as to why everyone refused to tell him. And so the drumset guy would just randomly play this every now and then and we'd laugh and the director would roll his eyes at us. A day or so later, though, someone told the director it was the theme for the Hub... but he didn't really care. He said we could play it as much as our hearts desired so long as it stayed in the band room. Guess he didn't want the band to have a public image of being immature.
I play tuba and during marching season, I like to follow my Colorguard friends around with the Sousaphone and play "Stewie following around fat people". My friend will walk to it and then I will speed up the tempo and she will progressively get faster. It's one of the few things actually cool about playing the Sousaphone.
One time in high school while waiting for the band teacher to enter the band room, I played the no tonic thing on the piano there. Someone wished that I would be buried in cement which would harden and trap me under for the rest of eternity
one day i got my laptop from school and got a tunner that played a pitch so high only some students could hear it. I put it on max volume and put it in my backback and walked around school while watching chaos form around me. Best day ever. -The annoying piccolo player
I honestly thought "Poisoned" and "Hot Chick Lick" only existed in my home town lol. In my HS marching band, drumline always hustled to be first ones back and set for next rep. Once we got back and got set, the senior tenor player would play a one bar lick and the whole line would grab the downbeat. When I was the senior in that position, I used "Poisoned" and many others like it OFTEN lol
For concert band: get one of those pop up toys where the toy slowly curves back to regular position while popping into the air. We used to put them on the snare or timpani to get the percussionists in trouble for playing when they weren't supposed to. (I'm a brass player sitting directly in front of the percussion).
Except I was the percussionist. I think I only did it once, maybe twice, actually during class. My band director was cool and let us in the back get away with a lot of fidgeting but definitely had a limit, lol, and intentional interruptions lost their humor appeal fast so we didn't push it. But it was still fun to do during warm up or after class. Especially with more than one.
I may have put one on my trumpet playing friend's head once, since he was right in front of me and his head was just below snare height (band room had tiers, perc at the top, director at the bottom, one level per section) so I could do it without being seen. I think the strings and woodwinds were being rehearsed since brass and percussion were both idle. So he wasn't playing at the time but still it stopped the class briefly, I guess some limits were pushed after all, lol. In retrospect my band director put up with a lot of silly shit. It's been decades so the memories are blurry.
What percussion memes/trolls/pranks would you like to see in the next one?
EMCproductions Stick your techs piece of wood in your shorts (in a funny way) and watch him beg for it back!

That's a classic. We actually had a new bell sound so our school bell ended up in one of our songs because it was so annoying (it's also on my channel if you wanna hear it).
I found out the one of the iPhone message tones was a c on our glock so I would always mess with people in class
Our bell used to be an out of tune a flat. The director asked the principal to change it so now it's an in tune a and its super easy to mimic

Demonetized? Or, did it get a pass for "educational" purposes?
Is anyone going to acknowledge the fact that he clicked his sticks the same time the background cadence did at 10:15?
not really...

What's the deal with #3? Why does every drumline in the world know this thing. Like I remember it from the late 90's. Where did that come from?
It's the superman S of the drumline world. Nobody knows where it came from, they just know they must do it.
