AMAZING TIMPANI SOLO!!

[@ChestertheBigRedDog]

After listening to this, my skill level has increased 35% from pure diffusion of sound. thats how good this is.

[@EciruamreklaW]

I'm really noticing A LOT of reasons why this is called clockwork. Amazing

[@EricPeelMusic]

Thank you! To me, this is what contemporary music is all about. It's supposed to please everyone whether they're musically inclined or not.

[@DemonDrummerZukaZ]

Just an all around great idea from start to finish, it's great! The ticking sounds by the battery was very clever and really helped start and end the song well.

[@EricPeelMusic]

Just because the rhythm percussion is all marching doesn't mean it HAS to be marching. I was actually intending for it to be an indoor show with or without drill. Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like it :)

[@leonsandcastle6199]

I have always wanted my school to have an Indoor drumline and this would be the first show I would want to do, I love the ending and I love how every part fits perfectly with the theme, even the chimes!

[@xBAGLESxARExAWESOMEx]

We actually chose this song for my schools first year of indoor percussion

[@drummerboy11695]

just imagine this composition in an actual marching arrangement with all the movement and breath taking music....this would be awesome on the marching field

[@ChromVsChrom]

Tbh, this would probably get first place in Winter Guard Internationals. Already, I think this would be a great piece for our winter drumline show. All it needs is marching cymbals, bells, synths, guitar and bass, percussion racks... I'm already getting ideas for this piece! Haha great work!

[@EricPeelMusic]

thank you so much! yeah, the snare being subtle like that, and all the layers.. that just sort of happened over time.

[@sxcbeasthot69]

Seriously, this is the best percussion ensemble song i've ever heard. Luv the timpani solo!

[@dickomcman]

Hey man, I've been writing for percussion for a short time, and played in some amatuer drumlines for two years, aswell as been studying and playing percussion for over 10 years, and this piece is simply amazing! Really good use of the percussion timbre and brilliantly structured!!

[@edwardaudasctico1891]

This is like, totally amazing dude. I really love it!

[@EricPeelMusic]

Thank you! I'm working on an 11-minute show based from it. It's hard to stretch things out, so to speak, but I'm also thinking of adding in themes from my other compositions.

[@longschlongstrugglejohnson2811]

Definitely getting this for my future drumline

[@EricPeelMusic]

Cool! Make sure you listen to a huge update I’ve made to the show! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmipanmZqrmggNU

[@RobinTheDrummer]

I recently played this song for examintation. And we got 93% for it!! It's really an awesome song to play!! I really like it!!

[@EricPeelMusic]

well, I started marching in junior high, but I wouldn't really consider it serious until I got to high school. I marched bass 2 in high school, I loved it it was so much fun! I moved from that high school though to a school that didn't have a marching band, so I had to found one there, and I marched tenors because no one else had a clue how to play those drums. We were actually not bad for a school not doing it for almost 2 decades, but it was pretty bad compared to most schools

[@EricPeelMusic]

This is really the best you've ever heard? I'm flattered!! Thank you so much!

[@EricPeelMusic]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy listening, and try to post something of your own soon!

[@TheBlueorigami]

My cousin, an aspiring drummer, has apparently been very influenced by your work and was kind enough to find this song on KZbin to show me why. I was blown away. You do a great job.

[@EricPeelMusic]

Thabks, I'm glad you like it. Your school is awesome to have a class like that!

[@EricPeelMusic]

@DemonDrummerZukaZ, Thanks for your compliments, and for noticing the ticking sounds. It would be even more awesome to see everything put to some kind of drill with clock and time concepts.

[@EricPeelMusic]

Thank you so much! I've listened to your cadence. Personally, I would want to change lots of things with it. 10 hours is hardly anything! You keep it too!

[@Illiara]

Wow, this is so cool! Soon I will be able to use this program!!! In my school there is a class called computer music that I am now in and i have been dying to try it out but our teacher has been making us reveiw our treble note and our bass notes, or something like that. This is a very beautiful peice of music!!!

[@quints2rock]

I love all of your work so far...

[@CisforClarinet]

This is such an awesome composition

[@EricPeelMusic]

He is a great man, one of my heroes too! He's a really nice guy too, i was expecting him to shoo me away. i was really nervous walking up to him, but my friends convinced me it was worth a try since I may never get the same chance again. Basically, just wait in the parking lot about 20 minutes before a local show starts with the Blue Devils, and he should be the first one off the bus!

[@EricPeelMusic]

Thank you. I know about the notation problems already, I fixed it more than a year ago. This upload was mainly for sound, but these need some kind of visual, or else they aren't videos, lol.

[@corvallishsdrumline]

This is awesome, just got our teacher to order it. Can't wait to play it!

[@MiMi5514]

dude...seriously...this is the shit. Im an elementary band teacher in stl, and band is my life. I could so see an advanced high school marching band or college band using this as maybe a drum break, or even at a percussiom ensemble concert.

[@kansasbball15]

awesome man truly amazing that you wrote this peace, i actually see it being more like a dream music or an Olympics commercial peace

[@leemcd56]

I think this really amazing. I, myself, am trying to compose an ensemble but have no luck. And, this sounds original to me.

[@makaveli62]

you're amazing guy!!! Your compositions are excellent!! RESPECT

[@drummerboy1138]

Oh yeah, forgot to actually comment the vid itself. I really liked this music. I also think that if you ever felt like adding brass/woodwind parts you could have a really good marching band piece here. That's actually what it struck me as when I listened to it first. Seriously, you are a talented composer.

[@erntbg]

WOW! FANTASTIC! Sounds like the background music for a movie! Maybe a fight scene, or a scene where the bad guys are chasing after the hero or something exciting like that. Hehe! I like composing and I love percussions but I come nowhere near to what you've accomplished. WELL DONE!

[@MrCello802]

Beautiful

[@MTAviationPhotoFilm]

this kinda reminds me of the music from airport tycoon 3. good writing, this rocks

[@EricPeelMusic]

you need to get Virtual Drumline software from Tapspace. It has left and right hand sounds for every sample, and if you play around with it enough, you can get it to sound really authentic, and thats why it sounds real. Thanks for your comment btw

[@DanTheManMonty15]

dude. i woulde totally love this music to paly in my drumline!!!

[@EricPeelMusic]

thanks! It's weird because some people say I write strongly for battery and I write mallets weakly, then others say completely the opposite, I have no idea what to believe! It's getting to a point where I don't care so much about what people say on youtube, but thanks for your constructive criticism. I will always try to incorporate what I hear from other youtubers into my future pieces.

[@Jiffybob47]

that was amazing!! on the field or anywhere,...dude i would pay to see that play out on the field...maybe put in some people to march :D

[@EricPeelMusic]

thanks alot! I really appreciate your comment especially the part about the bass drums, haha. Bass drums are my favorite marching gpercussion instrument for sure.

[@musicalsatori]

0:09-0:21. SICK. That part is inspiring. I would love to hear you take that theme and expand it.

[@EricPeelMusic]

I use Sibelius as the description says, and I ordered it from their website. Thank you for listening! I'm glad you enjoy my pieces. :)

[@LIANG14]

For it all being percussion, it gave me goosebumps like an orchestra would. Absolutely brilliant piece. I love the build ups and your pitched percussion used it's role perfectly, to add structural melody to the piece. One thing that could make it more 'successful' (thematically it's briliant) is to make it, well, easier to play, for I pity the timpanist. It'll make it sell better you see. But really impressive. Keep it up!

[@EricPeelMusic]

thanks so much! It means even more to me that you are an elementary band teacher because I want to be one someday!

[@MostlyLoveOfMusic]

10 / 10. This whole thing is stunning!!

[@EricPeelMusic]

I was in the same situation when I was a sophomore in high school, haha. I didn't get the software for myself until near the end of my junior year.

[@EricPeelMusic]

@Snare0drummer0James, We didn't march at the same time. Clark was the inside quad for Cascades 2009, and I was the inside for 2010.

[@bob4116]

Bravo! Very well done!

[@EricPeelMusic]

lol, "diffusion of sound" Thanks :) I appreciate the encouragement.

[@mikejarratt]

Sounds very mysterious... nice job :)

[@TheMaestro2005]

Don’t delete this, it’s nice to compare the difference

[@EricPeelMusic]

I won’t! I just like to delete the progress updates (for the new version) since they clutter up my channel page. Thanks for watching!

[@joellelaginess]

dude this is fantastic

[@EricPeelMusic]

it's definetly actually playable!! With the guys in drum corps these days, you can't say ANYTHING is unplayable

[@EricPeelMusic]

That's great! I'm glad you had a good experience and thank you for playing! Feel free to add your performance on my website!

[@chillinwithchels]

i love the piece... i was thinking, when i read it, that it was going to be a more concert piece but it seemed more like a marching band style . i like it though, a lot . great work .

[@ShadowOfHell15]

Very good song.

[@EricPeelMusic]

Thanks! I'm happy you love it.

[@EricPeelMusic]

@kimisizer, Maybe you don't understand why the ending is the way it is. It's supposed to emulate a clock's battery dieing.

[@TheRawJS]

Very nice.

[@EricPeelMusic]

No its not Finale, you need to read the description. I purchased Virtual Drumline for the sounds, but a fraction of VDL sounds do come with Sibelius and Finale now. it does sound pretty nice doesn't it? :)

[@bumsnee]

i absolutly love about 2 min and 40 seconds in its beautiful is this all on virtual batter 2

[@EricPeelMusic]

Thank you!

[@EricPeelMusic]

Thanks so much! Yeah, I'm not too sure what it was meant to be used for. I would be so honored if any of my music was used in an Olympics commercial :)

[@TrevorMcBever2596]

Very good. Awesome.

[@GrandmaHagrid]

I wish my school had cool front ensemble parts like that T^T Amazing job ;)

[@EricPeelMusic]

Basically, that and battery cadences. But if you dig deep into my playlist, there is one attempt at a brass ensemble. :)

[@fffffunky]

This is awesome. 2:07 is especially awesome.

[@EricPeelMusic]

@musicalsatori, I might take time and go back and change things in this piece like that, thanks for noticing.

[@EricPeelMusic]

yes, I got the privilege to meet him at the Portland show in 2008

[@gamertooth17]

Dude that tympani solo. Yes.

[@ValarieYay2]

I love this.

[@LiamFlahertyCounterpoint]

Marvelous

[@EricPeelMusic]

Thanks! But please check out my newer work too!

[@crazytffy]

I love this. The battery part is funnnkkyyy. :]

[@joshmcgrady9427]

I really enjoyed this, nice work man!

[@EricPeelMusic]

JoshMcGrady This piece is literally almost a decade old now! Please watch my much newer indoor show here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXKwf36gpqd5aLM Help give it some views!!!

[@EricPeelMusic]

thanks very much, it's always appreciated :)

[@EricPeelMusic]

thank you very much, I appreciate it

[@brendujames]

My school plays a clock like cadence, too. It's called Big Ben, and it sounds more like clock gears working. It's pretty intense, though not as intense as this.

[@EricPeelMusic]

thanks! I will as soon as possible

[@pimpinology]

damn now thats tight work dawg.

[@EricPeelMusic]

Thank you! :) People have mentioned the ledger line problems in my pieces, and the actual scores that I sell don't look like this, this is like old.. The timp part is easy to play, even with the hertas or whatever they are. I've played it myself. it wouldn't sound appropriate on tenors at all. And the tied notes are just there, not really to mean anything. It just means "let them ring" even though they won't ring that long obviously. Thanks for you advice though.

[@ValarieYay2]

I love this piece. My favorite part is 0:14 - 0:21

[@lonely_ghost9857]

I can imagine a drumline doin' this, the floor is like a bunch of gears, and for like props theres like a grandfather clock on the corners and a wall for the props with like more gears or a few grandfather clocks

[@EricPeelMusic]

Some groups have done something very similar! I haven’t received an impressive recording to date, unfortunately. But the piece has been majorly updated, and a group should be on a video for us shortly. Check the link the description for the update!

[@lonely_ghost9857]

@@EricPeelMusic cool thx m8!

[@CorbinWinkfield]

who are you!!! i want it! but have no moneyz! :( the drums are alive! this makes ten no a hundred times more proud to be a bass 5 player and an up coming tenor player. And I'm not playing it!

[@tartar61]

amazing!

[@EricPeelMusic]

thank you.

[@EricPeelMusic]

@PunkRockDrummer44, It's possible. I sold nearly a dozen copies of the latest version of this piece. I don't really keep track of who anymore. It could also have just been a similar piece.

[@EricPeelMusic]

well technically it is published because its on youtube. But so far I haven't really had had any takers even when the score is just displayed with sound and everything. I don't see the point in getting it big time published if nobody even sends me messages asking me for a license. I think it needs more views on youtube.

[@TheMadMadman]

i really like the snare groove at 2:04.

[@EricPeelMusic]

I don't know what you mean by script. VDL does work with Finale though, if thats what you're wondering.

[@EricPeelMusic]

thank you

[@EricPeelMusic]

You change the notehead with properties. VDL comes with a manual on which notheads playback which sounds.

[@EricPeelMusic]

Thanks!

[@EricPeelMusic]

thank you!

[@drumcaptain52]

I really like the pit I just wish I could hear the drumline more.

[@EricPeelMusic]

thanks so much

[@BlackTecno2]

I have to read stuff like that all the time... Will help with later ledger lines you play in other songs though
