Hey Eric, My percussion instructor put me on tenors and I'm alright at it but I have trouble doing sweeps and I think a good video idea would be like tutorials on doing stuff like that.
Just sharing: I was first grade in high school, joined concert band as a freshman. I belonged to percussion section, and trusted to played accessories. After a month, we have our first concert at city station. As long as I practiced, I was told to use a soft bass drum mallet to hit the gong, and told to hit it really hard. I have a gong hit (about mf) on 3rd bar of our first song. At the show, I was told to use real (hard) gong mallet. And as a good freshman, I did what I should. Next what I heard was the loudest gong sound I ever heard. I panicly muted the gong. At home, I listened to the recording and heard that my gong sounded so loud that the rest of the band can't be heard. What an embarrassing and unforgettable first experience.
Same exact thing happened to me except I had 2 wood bass drum mallets and it was at festival. That was 4 years ago and the legend of the Great Gong Incident still lives on, inscribed on the dust on the base of the timpani. Long live the GGI!
@@Deus_Vult7 right! Last yeae we had a confusion with this one section in movement 3 and 4. Movement 3 there was a part where battery a drum break. Basses and i had a problem with who's playin' what because we a had a 6/8 and a 7/8 thing and this 6/4 thing goin' on in like 6 maybe 8 measures of those. Basically we were playin' over each others splits or not playin' our splits and then 4th movement we had a weird thing where they replaced this one very SMALLLL part where its like a unison but only me(bass 3),bass 4 and 5 are playin' a triplet but the problem is, me or one of the other basses are only playin' that and tye other 2 arent because we kept forgettin' they CHANGED that. Even durin' the SHOW we STILL didn't play it and yet it was fine apparently. So yeah we had a lot of problems last year especially basses(tenors had choreography problems and snares would be rushing 16th notes, the usual)
I was cut from a DCA Corps a couple years ago but learned from the mistakes and mishaps. It made me a better player and performer especially when learning music. Now I’m center snare for another corps so you always have time to improve and better yourself !!! :)
dude that "cut" on the downbeat at 5:29 made me laugh WAY more than it should Lol! this was hilarious and brings back alot of memories of my high school drumline. People got cut for these reasons forreal lol
Dude I laughed so hard here 2:20 Something about a high schooler just being god tier at playing and not even getting to play the drum he audition for had me dead💀
Yea I know that feeling. Went for snare played everything flawlessly and they threw me on tenors. Looking back I'm glad it happened because tenors were definitely better than I thought
I got drummers hand tendinitis, thank you for being here. When I can’t play drums, I like watching you play the drums; there’s something therapeutic about the sound.
I got cut from a group one time before I even knew I was in it. Professor sent out an email that I was needed to play in it, but the email got caught in my spam filter, so I didn't know about it until he came to me in person and told me that it wasn't acceptable to skip out on rehearsals... I got replaced with our second chair before I even knew about the ensemble. Good Times.
Years ago I was thrown out of my high school marching band for "thinking I was better than everyone else." The whole drumline was not playing the written music,but, instead everyone was making up their own part, and going into competition like that. When I spoke up the whole band put on a little trial complete with witnesses testifying that I was the problem. Fun times.
While I didn't March anything past college, I haven't ever gotten cut, but one time in highschool at a sight reading competition, I was playing concert snare and got penalized for playing a 3 grace noted note "too cleanly"
...too cleanly? What they want u playin' those sincipated? Accents? Space out the notes? Like I dont care if its "too clean". The only time ive heard of someone playin' "clean" notes is when this drumline i watched with my drumline group do this snare feature and a huge bass feature of who knows how many measures of bass splits they had. Other then that i dont think playin' grace notes "too clean" is nor should be a thing
@@lonely_ghost9857 they said that they wanted the grace notes to be more of a buzz, but I played it so you could hear the three notes clearly. It's wasn't written as a buzz though. It was written as 3 grace notes.
@@LegendForsaken they should have said that it was too crisp and articulate then. Playing ‘clean’ is usually seen as a good thing. Telling your (3) grace note to be more like a buzz and softer and less articulate is a more acceptable thing than ‘to clean’
I’ve never been cut but one dude in my high school line from like 2014 got cut because he got caught on a professional video recording deep throating a banana during a run through 😂 but my line has a joke that the director will never cut any of us because we’re all pretty good and all in the same grade pretty much so we all say “What are they gonna do? Kick me out?
@@503music6 I totally would but sadly the footage was never found. I only know about it bc it was a story passed down from line to line after that lol.
@@zackwoods5077 Snares probably stay on snares cause they specialize in that instrument, and depending on the school's ability of the population switching instruments might make it worse. Depends on the school.
@@quilfrey1139 It's not ideal but if the only tenors player doesn't even know his part and the snare player would be able to play it, then I'd say it's a good idea. By not knowing the part I don't mean a few mistakes but not having a clue what to do for certain parts of the show. Obviously ensure that player learns the part before the swap.
It’s funny how in some of the clips you can see the props for the other characters! Not criticizing it’s really funny and adds to the principle that he plays all the characters🤣
Seriously, what are people doing with their lives?? If you aren't subbed, do it now. Eric deserves so much more than just 115K. He puts so much time and thought into his channel and videos. You need more like 115M subs my guy. I love your vids man!
CRAZY DRUMLINE STORY!! So basically my sophomore year going into band camp, none of the drumline learned the show music. I was the only person who learned drumline music and I wasn’t even on drumline (I learned all of the snare music). Long story short, we re-auditioned, no one was cut or removed, and I still wasn’t put on drumline🤷🏽♂️
Dude, your so whacked .... i love it!!! Seriously though, your passion, your love to help others getter better, and your ability to just be fun, is outstanding!!! Keep up the great job!!!
I love this. Being offended is prob a problem for some because some instructors can be pretty harsh about it that discourages students. Great video man!
in my band middle school i was the best trumpet player and i was doing a trumpet solo, (keep in mind im skinny and at that time i was about 5'5 and 95 pounds, i was short and skinny so it had nothing to do with my weight) and my chair gave out, just randomly and i fell back and cracked the back of my head open on the baritones bell that was behind me mid solo. i have never been more embarrassed in my life lmfaoo
I was originally put on bass freshman year of high school but I was demoted to cymbals because I didn't show up to the first rehearsal. They never contacted me about when first rehearsal was and I had no other way of knowing when rehearsal was. So because I missed first rehearsal, they gave my spot on bass to another freshman who didn't show up to auditions but showed up to first rehearsal. But it's okay because we ended up becoming best friends and I learned a lot from being cymbals :)
The second act was actually pretty good on tenors if that was a real audition he would be able to make it because of how he can play would just need to practice but that’s it, p.s I play alto for my high school band not percussion but hey I know somewhat
I am in 8th grade and I play alto saxophone. I recently auditioned for all sate and district band. I passed to the second audition with like a 91.5/100 (that's a pretty good score in my opinion) I did not make it passed the second round, however I did make district. Got cut from all state but I think for my first audition experience it went pretty well.
8:02 it is the nature of the drum line to be really weird, just like blasting low notes is to base-trombones and clarinets to squeaking in the middle of the band.
Funny enough my high school made some people in the drumline STAY when we were allowed to begin marching again after covid this also coincidentally got me into drumline which wasn't something I planned on doing but now I love it
It wasn't for drumline, but I remember for an honor band in middle school and there was auditions for a chance to play for a composer. I was cut because my instrument had a screw missing
I fully realized the night before an audition it was going to be hard to just get through the music badly and it was even worse than I imagined. I can still see the disappointment in Mr. Lowe's eyes. Have a bad dream about it now and again. Probably will tonight so thank you so much.
someone in percussion once put a kid in the synth cart and our band director uses that as an example every year when talking about fixing behavior issues
I was cut from the Bluecoats in 2018 because the spot for tenor had one more opening and it came down between me and someone else (who was older by about 4 Years) and it was my first time marching DCI but they said we were both equally skilled and I just got cut since he was a veteran. It all worked out though, as I ended up marching snare!
@@flarfatron2190 Well some advice that I can give is to keep at it. I was completely self taught and I got to where I am now. Keep it up man. What instrument do you play?
I remember during marching season, I was scared about getting cut. I was one of the few eighth graders playing in the high school marching band and I was on drumset. Two people on the drumline always talked about how I couldn't keep time very well on it. I was scared that I was going to get cut because one of those 2 was a tenor player who wanted to play drumset that year until I took his spot. Later in the season, they were a lot nicer to me and I had good runs. I just struggled at the beginning.
So it’s around the end of my first ever marching season and I might’ve said it on this channel before but the only reasons I was given for getting cut were: 1. Couldn’t make it to the majority of the clinics (couldn’t get anyone to take me) 2. “I like when you play clarinet more.” *stares at squidward horn* “I loathe this contraption of torture.”
hello! i noticed weve got quite a bit of story sharing round here so i thought id share mine! i found my way to my highschool’s front ensemble from the foreign land of the bassoon. i was the third marimba and while intimidated at first, i grew to love the percussion section and was very very sad to let it and the percussion section members go going into concert season, ive only just completed my first year and was contemplating the thought of joining drum-line next year. any input?
@@RyanKrebs518 the thought has certainly been crossing my mind, and i have been scouring last year’s audition music, but the thing is i lowkey cant really afford lessons and have 0 experience on drums other than youtube and stuff🫠 so……might be a foreign dream for a bit longer, tho i did love the marimba
Hi EMCproducitions. If you see this please read it, I seriously need advice. I am worried about being cut. Not because of a lack of skill or anything but I'm in a bit of a situation. Today, first rehearsal of the season, we have our drumline practice. I show up and they ask me what drum I want to be on, now last year I was cut too for not going to band camp. This year the two section leaders are playing two snares, but one of the section leaders isn't going to be here for a month. I want to know what I should do. I really don't want to go back to the front ensemble and I'm extremely dedicated, skilled, and passionate about drumline. There are only 3 snare 5 bass and 2 tenors. I know you're probably not going to have the answers to the universe, but what do you think I should do ?
I got cut from snare in a college band just cause of skill, so I got moved to bass drum. We did a marching block, where I was standing in the wind. So i’m pretty much holding a parachute, and got cut cause I was swaying, and moved to cymbals. Then I got cut again for no apparent reason. I asked to try out for the pit as it was the last day of drum camp, and they said no. Three cuts in three days, that was fun…

#12 is actually valid if the instructor is biased against a student, like my freshman year percussion instructor
Woah, that was kinda cool!
“Well that first audition sucked”
Oh.
Lol the allusion to the ghost face from banished beyond. Semper kill brother
Banished was actually my percussion tech in college. 😎
Love the Steven guy
Love your "banishing" technique my man!

My high school was so small that we couldn’t afford to cut anyone even if they sucked

Hi EMCproducitions. If you see this please read it, I seriously need advice. I am worried about being cut. Not because of a lack of skill or anything but I'm in a bit of a situation. Today, first rehearsal of the season, we have our drumline practice. I show up and they ask me what drum I want to be on, now last year I was cut too for not going to band camp. This year the two section leaders are playing two snares, but one of the section leaders isn't going to be here for a month. I want to know what I should do. I really don't want to go back to the front ensemble and I'm extremely dedicated, skilled, and passionate about drumline. There are only 3 snare 5 bass and 2 tenors. I know you're probably not going to have the answers to the universe, but what do you think I should do ?
watched a ton of your vids, this video is the one that earned my sub. please more of this
I got cut from snare in a college band just cause of skill, so I got moved to bass drum. We did a marching block, where I was standing in the wind. So i’m pretty much holding a parachute, and got cut cause I was swaying, and moved to cymbals. Then I got cut again for no apparent reason. I asked to try out for the pit as it was the last day of drum camp, and they said no. Three cuts in three days, that was fun…
How to make Carolina Crowns snare line, what should be expected. thank.
