EMC, i wanted to know that your YT channel is making our school bands better with the useful content you make. I thank you for the content, music, improve, your hidden youtube channel’s rip off friday night funkin’ gaming, and your positive attitude in the videos!
Takes me back to my high school drumline days. I was quad section leader / drumming mechanic lol. The drums we had were really old and sounded so terrible. I'd taken so many drums home to fix. The bass drums were so bad that they were beyond repair (wraps were toast, lugs were pitted from lack of using covers, hoops were chewed up and warped as were the shells so tuning them was impossible.) They were basically firewood and scrap metal lol.
When I got into high school drum I was half way privileged. Lol. We had the Ludwig mirror gold finish marching drums from the 80s Santa Clara vanguard. They were in decent condition. I'm not sure how many of each type of drum we had. When cleaned, reheaded, and tuned up... holy smokes those drums were cool!
Remo Powermax heads are great. I have them too (in black/Ebony) on my own bass drums , but because I use low tuning I had to add extra muffling along the edges of the shell to get a more controlled and less ringy sound.
Video 2 of Loopy Grandma asking Lil' Peanut to play Wipe Out by the Ventures!!! Must be dressed as a Surfer Dude with appropriate special effects! ... I know you are very creative, so I expect something EPIC!
Tried to pull out an 18” bass from the old discard pile (middle school) so my high school line could run 5 bass. Put fresh heads on and tuned it up. It sounded fine but the counter hoop would actually slip off the flesh hoop partially and the thing would drop like an octave. Definitely out of round on the hoop or the drum or both. We are going to put it back in the pile and run 4 bass next season. Not worth the hassle/risk.
Loved the video and editing! I'm sure you'll get plenty of use from these drums and it'll be completely worth the effort! I'm looking forward to more videos~!
So glad that you are going to the gym, even if you are sweaty and disgusting! or sweaty and nasty , or sweaty as usual. The best thing is every time you come home, there's a package outside your front door!
I personally would’ve taken the approach of rust treating that rusty hardware with WD-40 and dry lubricant. Rdavidr has a video on it. Love the vid though!!!!
ok i’m sorry… but.. this is the first video of EMC i have seen in a long long time and… i legit didn’t recognize his for the first few minutes of the video😂
Video number 2 of commenting of every single that emc does until he does this idea you should make a marching snare practice pad with a real drum head and add a snare sound to give it some realism
Yeaaaaahhh… not a super big fan of the felt-holding inner rings. I’ve yet to see them stay in. Thoughts on muffling inside the heads vs. visible muffling around the rims with AC weather seal foam strips?
Our drums were from like 1991 until we upgraded to Mapex this year. Except for me who was lucky in 2023 indoor to get the 2016 tenors since the set before it weren’t round anymore
Grease the washers and head of the tension rods, so it cranks up easier, and cuts down squeaky noises. And wax the bearing edges so the head crank up without pulling a head. Don't forget to re tighten up the lug casting bolts. And use car wax on everything to shine up the drums up and slow down rusting.. Advice for other drum lines working their drums.
I also have 5 2005 Carbonply bass drums and 1 set of quints from the Santa Clara Vanguard when Jeff Fiedler was CEO back in 2011. I wish we could meet up and drum together.
Could I use fishing reel grease instead of lithium grease I clean fishing reels and have some reel grease and would rather use that then buy more stuff and only use once or twice a
Marched mapex in college & love the sound of their shells. Such a crisp crack on their snares. In high school we used metal rims on our basses. Any preference on rims?
Christ it's just like my high school when we went from Remo Powermax2s to Evans MX2s and I absolutely hated them. They didn't sound nearly as good and we had constant muffling issues. I eventually said screw it and put the muffle rings from the powermaxes into the Evans heads and they sounded much better and solved the muffling problems. I restored my bottom bass for senior year before her retirement. She is a Yamaha 8128 and hands down, the old 8100s with their heavier hoops and twelve lugs sound much better than the current ten lugged 8300s in my opinion.
After our drumline director had left, I more or less became the drumline maintenance man, by choice, and I took great pride in my bass. She was tuned to a nice and beefy Bb. I hadn't actually tuned the others to specific pitches but they still sounded great all together.
when you were grabbing the snare drum and slowly pulling it out, I was literally peeing in anticipation. I pooped when you left it covered. Thanks a lot 😂

hi i love you
You're the first comment. So I heart you back.
@@EMCproductions keep grinding man❤️ AND LUBE UP
I love you too Jack
@@bigberd3680 thanks man
This is so sweet 🥲
Internal muffling on basses is just fancy. Back in the 90s we would literally buy weatherstripping foam and attach it around the rim. 🤣

How much did you get for the scrap metal?
That’s why you get fiberglass ones.

Quality of this video is SO GOOD , the editing everything about it! youre doing awesome
Yo, I gotta say your work ethic is incredible. You make me feel lazy lol. Keep up the great work !
Go to the end of November and then get it trimmed/cleaned up, but you should definitely keep it 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

SECOND!
Your editing and camera skills have majorly improved over these past couple years, keep up the good work!
I’m happily watching this during class :)

Nice job Marine, wish I were close enough to lend you a hand in refurbishing your bass drums. BTW…I enjoy my Mapex Snare Drum. Sgt Mateo, Ret
Semper Fidelis bro, beard is coming togeather lol slow but surely lol
Loved the video and editing! I'm sure you'll get plenty of use from these drums and it'll be completely worth the effort! I'm looking forward to more videos~!
Awesome video! I agree popping bubble wrap is very satisfying.
EMC joining the mapex marching snare fam. #hype
Drummer and drumsmith extraordinaire!
Very informative for a low brass player. Thanks!
Also informative for a woodwind like me :)
shock twist ending. The Xymox stuff was inside of the 18" drum.
No... it was shipped to the barracks and returned to sender...

Your hard work absolutely paid off! You’re the pro!!
This guy is awesome 😂 love to relate in marching
Video 2 of commenting until EMC makes a front ensemble out of spocks
A 4 octave marimba made out of spocks, my god that would be expensive
drumset & concert bass included

Battery FE would be crazy

I love the quality of this video. It was very well made. Thank you for this great vid
I’ve tried this with a crappy low end field drum. Now it sounds like a field drum, but newer.
Civilian and now nasty AF. Love it!
9:44 nice of the Eric clones to show up to help with tuning
10:37 from the lil preview screen in FCPX, that Mapex snare gon look hella sick
I like your Package....
Especially the Zildjian A’s
This was pretty satisfying to me ngl, thanks :)
Awesome and funny. Glad you're back making the hilarious stuff again. Cheers!
Could you do a future video comparing white bass drum heads vs black bass drum head? Maybe even the clear ones if you really wanted too
After one week binge watching, Subbed.
I want to come to clean that yard 😂
Very good, thank you EMC
you can use Ospho for rust. I use it on car part rust. May work good on drum hardware
Sometimes I watch your videos just to hear you say "good morning" then i watch the rest of it the next day when Im sober.
I love unboxings and reviewings
your videos are the coolest est est est videos
gOOD mORNING
My grammer good
You should make one for tenors, I just found some old pearl tenors I wanna make right again!!
Man these look EXACTLY like they might be our old set from 2008 Blue Knights!!!
Hey Eric cool video. My brother has that same lineup of bass drums. Pearl carbonply.
Truly beautiful
ok i’m sorry… but.. this is the first video of EMC i have seen in a long long time and… i legit didn’t recognize his for the first few minutes of the video😂
First hour gang also nice idea with No Shave November
10:36 you can see the snare drum in top left corner if you zoom in
Video number 2 of commenting of every single that emc does until he does this idea you should make a marching snare practice pad with a real drum head and add a snare sound to give it some realism
0:12, I'm tryna figure out how to make that BEARD GO AWAY 😂
EMC: Have a good morning
Me who is watching this at 12:23AM:
Favorite bass drum cadence....next to Cavalier's IOWA.
that one fast bit sounds a little like victor wooten's classical thump :D
This would've been a great collab with rdavidr! Guy would've cleaned off all the gunk from those lugs haha
Yeaaaaahhh… not a super big fan of the felt-holding inner rings. I’ve yet to see them stay in.
Thoughts on muffling inside the heads vs. visible muffling around the rims with AC weather seal foam strips?
I almost had a heart attack lol
ok the slo-mo lube shots had me cackling!
hi :D love your videos
good morning, thank you for showing us your big package and how to properly use lube.
EMC should start his own indoor drumline or something. Yes I do know that he has his charactes but I mean with other people.
He volunteers part time for an indoor drum line in Israel.
Emc drum restore videos are awesome
Our drums were from like 1991 until we upgraded to Mapex this year. Except for me who was lucky in 2023 indoor to get the 2016 tenors since the set before it weren’t round anymore
Good morning! ☀️
Would love to see how you muffled the drums & how much you used in each drum to create that perfect sound!
Grease the washers and head of the tension rods, so it cranks up easier, and cuts down squeaky noises. And wax the bearing edges so the head crank up without pulling a head. Don't forget to re tighten up the lug casting bolts. And use car wax on everything to shine up the drums up and slow down rusting.. Advice for other drum lines working their drums.
YES! Wax those edges!
Lets go im boutta do this shit with my whole schools drumline.
I also have 5 2005 Carbonply bass drums and 1 set of quints from the Santa Clara Vanguard when Jeff Fiedler was CEO back in 2011. I wish we could meet up and drum together.
My school just recently got those pearl drums used and looks exactly like ours
10:36 I can see the drum in the top left
One of the rims on the bass 1 at my school and is just taped back together
The version with your shoes on was better. Ha ha
These spoiled kids and their bass stands, we would’ve never lost a rubber stopper 🥺
Because you balanced your bass on a trash can??
@@samsignorelli wobbly two chair method until everyone just resigned themselves to always wearing the drum
10:37 lol we can see the snare drum in your editing window
Is my school the only place to call mallet racks “claws?”
Could I use fishing reel grease instead of lithium grease I clean fishing reels and have some reel grease and would rather use that then buy more stuff and only use once or twice a
Hype for that Mapex snare!
10:37 in case you want to see the mapex snare look on the top left videos ;)
Have you ever done any percussion work in an orchestral setting or considered it? Do you have any ideas to make a video about orchestral percussion?
He’s said he did orchestral drumming in college. He complained that it was boring because he’d play like one note or so for the whole piece.
Nice beard m'dude
Marched mapex in college & love the sound of their shells. Such a crisp crack on their snares.
In high school we used metal rims on our basses. Any preference on rims?
We use the edge of the of the stick holder which is medal. Eats the mallet up much more but it’s a lot cheaper to replace a mallet then a whole rim.
@@jackargie1092 my hs used the horrible white plastic stick holders.
10:36
I was spoiled by the media viewer in the top left! lol
Make the Drums Great Again!
you should do a review on the Tru Tuner Rapid Tuner!
Eric entering his rdavidr period
You look like my second band director with the beard
Lol I haven’t watched your videos in a long time so when I saw your beard like that I was worried for your health.
5:00 Define “tactfully”.
Holy the beard caught me off guard
A little TLC and ALOT of money 🤑 😂

Aye my school has the same exact drums, the carbon ply shells are so sexy
My school uses remo 3 ply drumhead and one of our players put a big ass dent in it somehow
Beard and hair are looking good.
BTW, nice spinning wheel in the shot at 2:19. Creating your own yarn for an afghan?
Video 2 of commenting until EMC makes a marching drum that includes snare drum, some tenors, a bass (or multiple), and multiple cymbals.
Someone needs to do a ten-hour version of white boy smooth
EMC, try hinding that snare better. We can see it in the panels on the top left corner while you are in your video editing software.
Umm I’m the best drummer in my class and they put me on sleigh bells for a concert 😭😭😭
rdavidr Jr. in the making.
Bass 4? (second lowest) had both nice resonance and attack clarity after the new heads / muting / tuning. at least to my non-drumline ears.
Correct me if I’m wrong but U believe they took the feet stoppers and put them on the top of the stands.
when you were grabbing the snare drum and slowly pulling it out, I was literally peeing in anticipation. I pooped when you left it covered. Thanks a lot 😂
Day one of begging you to Please make a really long video with a bunch of ads so I can give you moneeeyeyy!!!!!!
I'm just gonna make a really long reply chain for no reason
*yawn
If your still looking at this, your amazing
Alright this is my last one. Thank you for your time and please begggg with me on all of his future videos. Thank you in advance!
