Good news! Grandma Peanut made a full recovery and is out of the hospital. Turns out she just had to pass some MASSIVE gas.
EMCproductions oh. Nice
EMCproductions this is actually hilarious, 😂😂😂😂 quad life
EMCproductions and that damn snare thing about their back is so true
@@jofilmz693 bass 5 life though
hi EMC I would appreciate it if u could give me a shoutout. I am also a drumming channel. And any help would be INSANE. THX love ur vids
Kid: 'Falls with drum on'
Drum Tech: *"ARE THE DRUMS OKAY?!"*
Yah bout right
Gabe lol that’s what I say to anyone that falls with them because I fix them anyways
Gabe you right
As a drum tech I can 100% confirm we say this every time.
my drum tech: "you might break a few bones or die but if you fall make sure the drum is ok"
“Drumline you’re holding us back”
*gets best drumline award at a contest with 30 other bands*
Literally what happened last weekend 😂
YES. I CAN RELATE TO THIS SO MUCH
You stupid you not up against all 30 bands
Facs
Sameee
As a bass drum I can confirm that the baseline communicates with “alroououooououo bum jig a jig bum bum arooououo” noises
Yes. Someone finally understands the life of a base drummer
Of course.
Is it bass or base
Hello fellow bass drummer from 2 years ago
Straight fax
Conversations my drumline had: “the cymbal player is either dead or moved to Canada, and we only had one, so now one of the three snares has to move over to cymbal.” Oh and “if one of the quad heads is broken, just play around it, we have no spare.” And also “the truck left without letting us load up, so all are instruments are going for a bus ride.” And “who’s going to State? No one? Well then we won’t move practice.” And my personal favorite “Oh, that clearly dangerous man was awoken by our early morning playing, and is now ranting at the Band Teacher, better get this on camera before he beats her to death!”
Don’t forget the freshman that quits before the season even starts because they’re "on the soccer team"
We had a kid in water polo. He was the worst!
we had a freshman quit over the summer cause he didn’t have enough time to hang out with his friends
I’m a freshmen on snare line and I stayed the whole season
dan ok but I’m on the soccer team and I managed to stay on both, it just caused a lot of mental breakdowns
@@Aria-ns1lx Same Aria, same.
Director- "1 more rep then water"
15 reps later
Director-"All right great rehearsal everyone. Go home"
Rule 1- We band directors lie. ;)
@@BillMillerMusicComposer At least you're hones-
Wait a second...
@@lifeontheledgerlines8394 Right?! ;P
We're just one big walking, talking contradiction.
"One more time!!!!"
same my band director always says right be for the end do it again the at least 10 times then says march back to the band room in block band formation then go home and when he says take to take a five minute break it feel like five seconds
"Can we put our drums down?"
"If I run to my dot I'm going to do a drum roll."
"Can we get a gush and go?"
"When is rehearsal over?"
"We are apart of the band too."
“ we are apart of the band too”- all of front ensemble
I dont know what it is about it but I think the bursts of focus followed by jokes and relaxation actually help my lines learning process. Like we'll get stuff done for 45 minutes to an hour and get a section really good, and then joke around for 10-15 minutes. Something about realizing that your just in a high school band and it's meant to be fun gives us more drive
"One more time..."
"alright, one more time"
"alright, last time."
Josh Dilly all the time
BEST TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My drum tech always hits us with the “if this rep is good, it’ll be our last” and then with “it was good, but we can make it better”
One more time...
Hey dad
"Where is Steven"
"Oh, he had to take a massive crap"
relatable ngl
zuiabear same
That's one of my band's trumpets
I started laughing a lot
It was like the middle of practice and i got yelled at for taking a shit like no way that wouldve have been ready to come out before practice smh
I'm Steven cause I'm obsessed with high moms our caption had to tell me so many times to stop doing them I can't help it's so cool to me when I'm playing something and I throw a high mom in there and it is a little late so it makes a sound that's like a flam where the accented note that is after tha grace note is superate but it sounds so cool idk why guess in weird
"Duck Duck Duck Duck"
"Are you saying 'Duck'?"
"y e s"
"No it's 'DUT' with a 'T'"
"I know, I want to be different"
Honestly relatable
I seen you watch history secrets are you a ww2 fan too
We have some people doing nut
When I was in high school the drum major told one of the quads "A trained monkey could play quads and march better than you" during practice. Worth the pushups when I laughed.
Lmao “can we just freestyle the whole show”
No joke, one year the drum line music was very late. We were behind because of it. The first 2 competitions we didn't have the drill for the 2nd half of the show. We just stayed behind the band, changing sides of the field and connecting to whatever lines were being made by the rest of the band. The director was so busy with other problems, he didn't even notice until the 3rd competition.
I'm curious what would happen actually
YES
@@saber-jocky3436 Percussionist are very good at making stuff up so I believe you
Band Director: drumline play the written dynamics
Drumline: ok *plays the written dynamic*
Band Director: Drumline its too loud take it from a fff to a mf
Drumline: 🙃
TENORS, YOU'RE TOO LOUD... Play the decrescendo.
Turns page to director: fff
one time my band director told the bass drums, "You're the heartbeat of the band and right now we're on cardiac arrest!"
i think about that a lot.
The thing with linda's harness reminds me when john davis was yelling at a girl in our band to hurry on to the parking lot so we could start the next set after our break and she replied with "I had to put in a new tampon" and through the mic john just said in his beautiful accent "oh... uhhh... I- uhhh.... just hurry up"
good morning, im sure eventually you'll have enough characters to field a non repeating drumline
So during marching, the drumline came up with a new audible
"Blake is racist"
Blake is our center snare and the leader of the percussion
We say our center snare hates minorities
We call our drum captain, Nate, a nazi.
I’m a center snare and I’m really happy they don’t do that to me😂 I’m one of the lightest skinned person on the line
We say "Sanjay Gay"
@@choleloose641 Natezi
Steven: If we are consistenstly inconsistently, that means were consistent.
Drum Tech: (It was at this moment Steven knew he f'ed up)
The biggest weakness of my high school's drumline is the fact that we don't all share a band class during school. Half of our line could only be with us after school, causing a disconnect
“Let’s all make up excuses to miss the sectional.”
Big Cat Morgan is the best section leader😂😂
Every day of the week 😂
@@bigcat2518 I'll be honest, I know the music pretty well, so if there's a sectional at my school, I don't attend.
Ngl we sorta abandoned our drum tech for an hour
Lol yup. Especially my senior year
"the thing you have to know about bass 4 is its the WORST." damn... hit me right in my bass 4 heart. bass 4 rise up
Bass 4 gang
I was bass 4 two years in highschool and one year in corps. The rest of my time i was on tenors. If memory serves me correctly bass 4 pretty much played odd things at odd times.
Me and my drum feel personally attacked. 😔 Bass 4 gang lamo
Bass 4 can be a bitch but I love that drum. Bass 4 all day baby
I played bass 4, 2, and 1. My favorite was 4. ☺ I liked playing loud.
Back in 1994 while teaching at a mobile Percussion Seminar, I ACTUALLY had the real life version of Steven Sassafras!!!! Lol. All of us instructors were either marching at UMASS Amherst or/and had marched Cadets or for Star of Indianas final season. Our students were for the most part high school students. This one student constantly was asking for breaks and couldnt seem to stand straight while playing. The most rewarding thing of that week was seeing how excited he was at the end of the week when he was able to stand straight while performing for the parents. Always a good thing to see someone get a positive experience after all the hard work.
As a snare a quads (we called them quints) player this was so freaking accurate! You forgot to mention how hot the uniforms are while carrying heavy drums, passing out from the heat and nobody listening to the section captain.
One of my favorites from band camp;
"Hey man, are you at the point yet where like, everything hurts so much it just, like stops hurting?"
"Uh, no?"
"Yeah, me neither"
I'm in band camp and I feel this
I know what you mean, it gets itchy instead of sore
I'm a quad player and I can confirm the whole part for quads is true
Same it really sucks lmao
Quad lives matter
Quads have their music down like they got their lives together. But really we're just crumbling on the inside. #Quadlives matter.
@@josejurado3911 well spoken
topland it’s so accurate man. #quadlivesmatter
3:30 funny part is there is a band in our region that actually where’s kilts
I'm a synth player for our marching band (And I know Eric WAS also the Synth Player during the Marine Drum and Bugle) and this is relatable.
"Is this a good sounding patch?"
"What Patch do you want here?"
"Which patch, String Ensemble, or Cinema Strings?"
"I FINALLY KNOW HOW TO PUT AUDIO FILES INTO MAINSTAGE!!!! Meaning, we can Rickroll the audience."
"Turn me up louder, i can't hear myself!"
"Mute me, I have to organize cables!"
"That patch sounds horrible."
"They replaced the synth solo with... TRUMPETS???."
and finally...
"Laptop's dead, does anyone have a spare charger?" (And yes, we did get 2 refurbished MacBook Pros this year, and already lost all 2 of them, plus the charger from last year.)
“Hey When do I get a solo?”
“You’re not getting a solo!”
“Why not?”
“Because you’re not good.”
“Oh.”
If that isn’t me 😂😂😂
Best comment
Damn lol feels
I've teched before, and I laughed *way* too hard at this! It's the honest thing to say that you shouldn't say 😁
Trumpet here! Relatable
Director: Go back to set fi-
Section Leader: HUSTLE!!!
As the section leader/center snare, i relate so hard to this...
“Drumline! Run it back!”
Also when the directors always say that color guard does a lot of hard work and recognizea them for it and the band claps for them but Drumline never gets any love :')
dog drum techs on comp days
FACCS
Person not fitting the form: “BUT IM ON MY DOT”
the snare drummer complaining about his back and the quad player just looking over in disgust had me laughing so hard. Preach brother!
"we all forgot pencils, we all forgot dot books, we all forgot music" and the Metronome problems section had me dying!! lololollolololol
“Can we just march without our drums the whole show”
*gets new quad heads*
Everyone: “OMG SO PRETTY LEMME TOUCH”
Dylan Scott we got new heads today and they sound like ass, I can’t wait until we can crank them.
Speed Cuber mine do too I got them today as well just gotta crank up to perfection lol
Ikr
Relatable, being a Bass Drummer though
Lol, imagine having a band director that buys new heads when we desperately need them
I retired the first of April after 35 years as a pilot. With the extra idle time, I dived into RUclips and came up with a couple of gems. One was The Top Secret Drum Corps. The other was this video. My mom and I watched this and thought it was funny, even though we know nothing about drumming. I’ve watched a lot more of EMC videos and I’ve decided I want to play tenor. Thanks for opening my mind.
that's awesome man good luck!
The bass 5 "where's the downbeat" thing made me LOL. So true. As 14 year high school instructor, I can tell you everything in this video is so true.
I think it's even funnier that these characters you created actually drum together pretty well. I know it's all one person, but still.
Section Leader Walks In:
"I wanna go home so we won't have a sectional today,. Just practice so you won't get called out tomorrow and make us look bad. Okay, that will wrap up today's sectional!"
I'm a section leader and would only do that if our line was super clean. Then again, if no one was checking to be sure we had the sectional🤔
Snare player: *Drops stick*
Band Director: *Stops band*
Band director: “You’re probably gonna need that!”
I LOVE that you use your PT belt for the nerdy kid. That’s a future blue falcon in the making
2:29
Omg I'm a quad and I see the snares on the field do this every time
I feel like impaling them with a stick every time I swear 😂
Our quad player pinched a nerve in his back as we were marching onto the field for our last contest senior year. One of the judges was late, so we stood for five minutes, then they let us rest. Top bass and me (center snare) ran up and grabbed the quad players drums to relieve the pressure. Dude marched the entire show after that literally crying in pain without missing a note. He went into the Marines after that...love that guy!
Also a quad, this is 100% accurate lol
No one:
Drumline marching: *grass sound*
Literally no one:
The drum tech: “softer”
*the sound of a music binder falling reverbs softly in the distance*
Softer
When I was in marching band, our head director would get some other techs out to listen to our band and help out. He brought a middle school band director who would always tell the drums to play softer, and there was one point where he told the drums to play softer in a spot where we didnt play. Out actual drum tech said change it for the day and then go back to what we did before. Good times.
That’s what happened in my our band
A judge we were too loud in one part of the show, she made the entire show pianissimoissmoissmo
Michael Parker exactly
the cymbal injuries part is so accurate it hurts
As a tenor player, yeah, there were a few rehearsals that became snare sectionals.
Or the cymbals would go have a sectional, the basses would have one, and tenors would just get put with snares, and then kind of ignored.
“Yea those hertas at measure 28, we are checking it”
“LEFT”
“Still too high!”
“Keep it at “X” height”
“Your feet are slow”
“Push 41”
“We are rushing the crap out that eight note space at bar 11”
“Late attack”
"diddles are too tight"
“SOFTER!!!”
*too
“If you can hear yourself, you’re out.”
“LISTEN IN!!!!”
"fuck the ballad" commonly said in my drumline
DIRECTOR: "One last time"
10 runs though the chunk later
"This is the last run and then we move one."
"Hey can have a drink with you. Wait you're not coming back next year?"
I teched drumlines and pits for 8 years, and I have never seen a more accurate description of my life during that time. Seriously still have nightmares about not being able to calm my drumline down.
You forgot the tech threatening to throw a drumstick at a kid. My favorite part :)
When the bass splits are so clean bass 5 literally warps space and time around him and just him
I kinda did that on one of my shows last year
10:15
“Is he gonna turn on Josie?”
*Met starts counting*
“Haha there she is”
13:12
OH MY GOD, THE GIRL'S DUTS SOUND MORE LIKE A METRONOME😂
"And... SNARES (again)"
As a tenor player, I can confirm this is how every rehearsal goes.
Snare Player: My back hurts!😭
Tenor Player: Am I a joke to you?
Bass players: quietly in corner judging both
@@o-mangaming3830 unless if you are bass 1 or 2. They have no excuse for back pain.
@@Theboss24611 we talking from biggest to smallest or smallest to biggest. Cause biggest to smallest, 2. Smallest to biggest 3
@@o-mangaming3830 1 is smallest
@@Theboss24611 so im bass 3
Our bass 3 asks “what?” Immediately after anyone says anything
Lol
Sounded like mine this year. We just finished. He's kind of the laziest of us all. Considering I'm there with them, that's an accomplishment.
Our bass 4 cant even play quarter notes right. He also ruins every visual drumline has
@@system_shift4707 I'm bass 4 and I was the only one having to ask again sometimes... but usually I'm just super exhausted from doing soccer and drumline at the same time. But only sometimes!
@@priusqueef2505 then offer to practice with him and encourage him. A bassline without every bass is just hopeless
9:40 you gotta respect someone who can accept "Because you're not good" as an answer
"One more time"
then keeps going on, that's what my director does
"Stop throwing sticks in the ceiling"
@Coreena Albaugh how
FLUBS: Can we tune our drum higher?!
DIRECTOR: Tune to the highest drum.
FLUBS: We’re marching practice pads.
I'm the section leader and repairman for my high school drum line, and once I had to fix a carrier with my belt, two bass drum heads, replace four broken cymbal straps, and three snare heads in one week of band camp. Also at a comp. I had my drum upside down the whole time.
“1 2 3 4”
If that doesn’t happen every time in band
So much of this is accurate, even when I marched 10+ years ago! I was bass captain and we messed around so much lols. Our favorite sayings were "water we doing?" and yelling "Dr. Scholl's!" Tenor/quad players definitely had the most messed up backs!
"Alright, now it *HAS* to be in the show. I got it ONCE" THE most accurate bit of this entire video.
one thing that my drum line says to the quads is "dO yOu KnOw JiG 2"
The quad player in my drum line knows jig 2.
Next time I hear some shit about jig 2 I’m killing myself
Ah yes, the "drum line solo that literally every school does or dies trying"
Our middle schoolers ask me this every time but I don’t have the heart to tell them it’s cringe so I just do it for them
We went to section breakfast and someone asked for “sweet coffee”
Best thing one of the quads I used to play with said to me right before competition "I just took about the muscle relaxants we're going to have a great show" I agree with her and I asked her for some we didn't have a great show but it was fun
I remember one time in a band rehearsal I was in the back focusing on my drum like a good boy and then I hear a HUGE trumpet squeak then the kid stood up and yelled THIS IS WHY I WANTED TO PLAY PERCUSSION 😂😂
Me: "Alright, everyone got that? Basses?"
My top bass:
"...My bones itch..."
Me:
"...."
😂
no the part hat goes rururururururuuuuuuuuurururururuuuuuuuuuuuu. boom! I miss bass sectionals.
Me (a bass 5):
"Everyone pull out your music, we are doing note checks"
"Uh I don't have mine"
"Okay, where is it?"
"Idk i haven't seen it in a month"
"...."
Actual conversation
7:06 hahahah I literally got cut by the cymbals too and I was like guys check this out and it was under my ribcage lol
*Legs are physically shaking from carrying Quads on the field for too long*
Me: Can I have a water break?
Tech: Can you make it through a full run-through? 🙄
Me: *knowing he'll be disappointed if I can't* Yes.
4:18 bass 5 was drumming so hard he shook the camera 🤣
The characters had me dead💀
2:29 as a tenor drum player this made my day
I weighed 140 lbs when I marched tenors and never complained but when the 200 lb snares started whining I was like mfer put my drums on for a while
I play tenors, but occasionally I put snare on and everytime I do I realize that snares are practically weightless
For us, the tech always tells the rest of the band that "if they touch the drums, they will get a referral."
The most popular drumline sentence:
Them: Joe
Me: who's Joe?
Them: Joe Mama
Me: Who's Joe Mama?
“Our director can’t do anything if all 17 of us are an hour late”
We had breakfast at a Denny's and our whole line was late. Our bd was pissed and we ran for like 30 minutes
I know I'm over a year late, but I have a vivid memory of our tech in high school walking off in the middle of a rehearsal. Then after about 5 min walked back over to us and stopping our rep to yell out "No one put a gun to your head and said be in band!" Then he walked away and went home for the day. Classic Alan Miller and I right?
Oh. My. God. You included cymbals?
This makes me beyond happy.
Good morning! Finally another snare lick for me: the friendly neighborhood snare player.
Also I was definitely Steven in high school but wanted to be Lil Peanut. Trouble is i didn’t have the Grammy nominations.
Bd: “one more time”
DL: yells “ I LOVE RESETING!!”
That whole part about the Basses is so legit! It was even like that back when I marched 25 years ago. 😂
As a tenor (quads) kid
I can relate we marched at a parade and my back went out right afterwards.
This is a brief version of everything that happens in a drumline rehearsal...
The cymbals are very true
"Tenors aren't bad, try marching bass 1"
Lol you crazy the tenors are heavy as hell
@@rallotubbs2423 r/wooosh
When the snares would complain about their arms hurting after standing at attention.
Me cymbal player. -.-
@@nes999 💀💀 our bass 4 player is always complaining to us about her back hurting but she literally stands like she’s tryin to do a back flip
I'm gonna start showing this at the beginning of every band camp 😂
i need a "Things that pit kids (And techs) say" immediately
Played bass 4 for my first year and can confirm it is definitely the worst.
I play quads now and every time I hear the new snare players complain I cringe
when someone is not at rehearsal and ur in their dot and u say “i’m inside this person”
The clips of Steven complaining about snare and Manny having a look of disgust on his face is how I look back on my 8th grade year of marching band(my school used to have marching band open for grades 8-12 now it's just 9-12).
The title almost got me, I remember I had a friend who used to complain about his back all the time and I kept my mouth shut while marching full sized tenors. Man the things that kid would say
I wasn’t on drum line for long, but when I was on it, one of the most frequently said things were “Nathan, stretch!”, “No, stretching is stupid!”, and “You know what else is gonna be stupid? Tearing a muscle in the middle of a show!” In that order
You forgot the “one more time.”
I’m like dying laughing though
You literally hit just about everything thing
This is basically my schools drumline. I am so proud that someone has posted something similar so that it makes me feel good. Keep up the good work.
1:50 I had a snare player that always asked when lunch was every day.
Why can I absolutely relate to the thumb nail?
Edit: Never mind, I can relate to the whole thing.
Edit: Edit: This is my whole drumline
Picks up someone’s dog in the lot
“If you tick this next rep, this dog gets it”
The boots thing hits way too close to home with me lol. During band camp, I only had steel toe construction boots, I had no sneakers so for two weeks, I had to march in steel toe boots.
That's super funny! Bravo! I never heard a single murmur from the girls about how heavy their rig is - even the tiny thing marching bells! Lol - she was so stoked to get a brand new, gleaming glock...
