Steven Sassafrass has always been my favorite character in the EMC Cinematic Universe but DANG i didn't know he was that good at sight reading. Imagine how good he would be if he practiced.
3 things: 1)Reminds me of the time had to live stream a solo that was "finished" 2 minutes before performing ☠️ 2)Built in "ad" with sub button over the skip...pure genius! 3)Shirt, signed pic and 5pock head came in. Muchos gracias! Super epic! Thank you!
lol this kinda happened to me in high school (almost 15 years ago).After marching snare for the past 2 years I tried to sight read the tenor audition peace after half our line quit after one of our band directors/drumline instructor left. Went about like the video did, lol
Sightreading is unnecessarily difficult and really only works well for one learning style (the print learners). I've played for several pro groups and 3 orchestras, none of them expect anyone to walk in and sightread anything. Most bands give you recordings to listen to and you have to write out your own charts. Most orchestras mail the sheet music at least a week ahead of the first practice. Sight reading really only matters in highschool competitions and the audition for college scholarships. Once you're in a college you build your reputation from doing things that have nothing to do with sightreading.
Eric always makes Steven Sassafras out to look like he has no idea what he's doing, but when the rubber hits the road, Steve's got some serious chops that rival even Masked Guy.
4:55 Can we just talk about the sweeps only on rims for a sec and how that is just as, if not, more accurate positioning than a regular sweep? (With the exception of a few drum hits)
Eric I remember in one of your videos you mentioned how at the time one of your favorite drum lines was the blue devils so I was wondering if you could learn and play The Ditty
OMG thanks to everyone who helped write the solo 💛💛💛
I am so glad that you were able to get so many submissions! You did an excellent job of putting together all the licks! 😘🥰😍
@EveryoneLovesLinda how do you feel about Steven shouting he loves you in the solo?
I just realized on mine I had four counts of rest at the end that was not supposed to be there...oh well it was funny anyway
I’d only simp for Linda
I'm a little disturbed at this
I'd say this solo was a huge success. EHEHehehehehehe!!!!!!
I'm so glad to know that you do love your Loopy Grandma! 👵🥰
You kiss that drum 4 REEEAL good.
Hello Ehehhehehehehehe!
Hey,
Stop squeaking ur chiken
How did you get a 32 before penalties if you played it perfectly
Don’t forget that this is Steven Sassafrass the SIXTH, meaning 5 other Steven sassafraasses came before him, imagine Steven In world war 2 lmao
“Oh jeez guys the nazi’s are storming the AA gun”
“Oh jeez guys are we supposed to charge at them? But they’re shooting machine guns at us! Oh gosh guys!”
Steven in the Russian revolution 1917
Judging by the last name and number of generations necessary, Steven Sassafras the First was probably a really wimpy Confederate soldier
>why the nazis lost
Steven Sassafrass has always been my favorite character in the EMC Cinematic Universe but DANG i didn't know he was that good at sight reading. Imagine how good he would be if he practiced.
Right?!
Steven don’t flub
EMC productions is the perfect mixture of comedy and drumming
It’s a drumedy
The electric guitar shred to jig 2 was probably the greatest phrase ever
I take full credit for that
It was a Van Halen solo I think!
I watched A man drum almost complete nonsense or 17 minutes.And I don't regret it.
Me neither
“Twerk for 8 counts”
The legendary twerk
This was seriously one of the funniest videos I've watched recently. Props to the writers of each section, and Steven for his brilliant performance.
Agreed!
Good Morning
First comment! Good job.
Congrats on first comment 👏
Jood gob
Good afternoon
Omg you did 8:10 exactly as planned! I died! 😂
I wondered who suggested that! EPIC! 😂🤣🤣
@KyleTheCadet ohmygod you’re a legend
Makes sense it was you Kyle
Sight reading is what I call playing during a show.
No joke I was in my head like “imagine someone put in jig 2” and 20 seconds later:
Jig 2
EMC: accidentally starts to talk in Steven voice
Sisch minutes! 🤣
3 things:
1)Reminds me of the time had to live stream a solo that was "finished" 2 minutes before performing ☠️
2)Built in "ad" with sub button over the skip...pure genius!
3)Shirt, signed pic and 5pock head came in. Muchos gracias! Super epic! Thank you!
13:06 “if it’s too hard just improv”
Eric: *”you dare oppose me, mortal?”*
Hi Tucker
8:37 wholesome joe
I had marching band practice today and the metronome is still haunting my ear drums 😀
The “sticks in, sticks out, sticks in” killed me
I liked the part where you played Jig 2.
EDIT - I also liked the other part where you played Jig 2
What about the poison lick? And the other poison lick?
I have to say, I'm impressed that he sightread everything correctly. THat's an accomplishment in itself
Literally the funniest video I’ve ever seen
This was the funniest one I’ve seen so far, it made me laugh so many times
13:24 Maybe the coolest sound ever to propagate from my phone speakers to my ears
Wow when eric made that commercial break yt actually gave me an add for some random social network
11:12, man those cheeses were so clean. Not that everything else wasn't. But dude, those cheeses were impressive.
I really love your drumming you definitely are Awesome
Steven throwing the stick at the wall is unreal
I'm so glad mine was featured, even though it says melodic toms lol
lol this kinda happened to me in high school (almost 15 years ago).After marching snare for the past 2 years I tried to sight read the tenor audition peace after half our line quit after one of our band directors/drumline instructor left. Went about like the video did, lol
10:13 "I LOVE LINDA!"
So much creativity in these solos. Love it!
wtf i got an actual ad on the ad break after the buffer and i thought he put an hiv skit in lmao
That's hilarious!
12:50. Rip EVH
i dont know why but this is just so fun to watch
9:52aye ya boy got featured
What threw me off is when he said 'ad break', and my video actually cut to an ad for Old Spice...
Hey Eric, here's an idea: What if you made another random lick video but (like in this video) used measures written by viewers!
14:50 I actually marched in high school with a tenor drummer named Tom Wang (I marched saxophone). Dude scared me a little bit, not gonna lie.
I got a grammarly ad after he said „After a quick commercial break“
I have to admit at 9:00 is when I finally laughed. Zooming into his face just staring at me made my day. Thank you.
That song was so scattered and I love it
Eruption into jig 2 had me DYING🤣🤣
This was amazing 😂😂😂
I got an actual ad during the "quick commercial break." Two commercials in one, I guess?
I'm pretty sure I've heard this solo like 14 times.
I literally laughed out loud at this one.

i magine he says hi to a intermidiate drummer like me...IMAGINE
11:10 so slick and clean
9:52 broken city lmao
After 16:24 I think the tempo was a bit slower than intended but at least we got tongue
holy shit that solo was way funnier than i had anticipated
10:02
such power
10:13 "I LOVE LINDA!!"
1:22 is that a bit of white boy smooth I hear?
Best video by far
I want more behind the Gock block episodes
2:49 I literally burst out laughing and when I say I never burst out laughing I MEAN I NEVER BURST OUT LAUGHING😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Edit: I’m such a little kid😂😂😂
Dude I DIED when he smashed the hell outta those rims 🤣🤣🤣🤣
All the random rests are great lol
10:04 More Cowbell!
This whole video was made just to plug Linda's channel
Nice interpretation opening: 2008, Matt Bowers I&e QUADZILLA. I got to hang out with Matt and jam with him a bit. Such a swell guy.
I love playing drums just can't read but I'm preaty good at it learn by hearing
Those spock drum heads are basically untouched lol.
How the actual fuck do you hit no rims man?! Love it all so much, keep it up!! We all love this community you have created
We need more vids like this
me trading fours at the local jazz jam:
More of these stories! I need more Carrmen Heights lore!
Steven loves Loopy Grandma 14:55
This is by far the best video yet
I like how your- I mean they're excuse is that they didn't play it bad it was just the music
Peak lore video
Idk why but 7:26 had me DYING 😂
When Linus Tech Tips gets a free shout out XD
This was really funny. One of your better videos!
i can’t get enough of steven’s smile
I got an ad at the fake ad break
Lol i got a commercial before the commercial
I love when it says tuba
I like how there was one that said piano but like piano sheet music
Eric always makes Steven Sassafras out to look like he has no idea what he's doing, but when the rubber hits the road, Steve's got some serious chops that rival even Masked Guy.

Absolutely, that takes skill!
Linda, you've got some talented fans! Now I feel bad for how lame mine was.
This is on par with the 50 ie solos
happy brithday to vidoe
Let's not forget that this is all sight read...wow Steven is insane at sight reading
i really wish in highschool i did something like that... just for fun. like start on tuba and finish on flute or something stupid like that
CRHS Pioneers rule! Absolutely hilarious, well done.
12:50 R.I.P. Eddie
Well he played it perfectly...
Good morning :)
steven sasafras VI has a very nice bakery!
That’s a strange way to play tuba.
Eric I remember in one of your videos you mentioned how at the time one of your favorite drum lines was the blue devils so I was wondering if you could learn and play The Ditty
When he said after this quick add, then I had an add
dude, i got an ad when you said, lets do a commercial break
Good Morning EMC!
Hope you are doing good
Second cowbell lick is mone
Dude this was a master piece.
