I Wrote This Cadence in the DUMBEST WAY POSSIBLE

[@ethanclock9703]

This sounds like if you walked into the band room and everyone was working on the same thing at a different tempo and time

[@taylorbell8157]

I had this exact thought. 😂

[@alsdrumhang]

I was amazed at how well it (mostly) hung together. There were a few moments it sounded like the entire drumline tripped over a crack in the sidewalk or something but... it actually worked!

[@dizzzave357]

You want those parts so that when your drumline is the one leading everyone into retreat all the other bands stumble and start marching out of time.

[@alsdrumhang]

@@dizzzave357 200IQ right there

[@SS2Balls]

same

[@plebshno975]

The basses at 8:58 are SPOT ON. Actually sounds so clean

[@zesto2241]

It sounds like whenever the band director tells us to play whatever we need to work on

[@darkjaden-fe]

Honestly this is a very valid way of composing. I feel like what you have here would be a super solid first draft of a cadence. And now if you just clean it up a little bit, figure out the spots that don't really work and fix them up a bit, it'd sound really sick!

[@grayishhare]

you could make an algorithm automate the process, if you don’t like a spot, you tell it to regenerate that spot.

[@TheChasedanger]

@@grayishhareAI generated cadence 😲😱😱 that would be a cool video idea tho

[@601.hondaboat]

Your videos have made me keep on drumming for the past 3 years. And I enjoy them very much💯

[@jangles1839]

It's like each part's player came in and started the same song from the beginning as they came in, regardless of where everyone else was

[@plant_trees_kg]

That was awesome! Thanks for putting so much time into that!

[@thorenshammer]

For the random nature of the idea, it shows that, musically speaking, if the principals are sound, everything works out. Any form of music is nothing more than complex mathematics in sound. For those who understand that world (obviously you do) of musical compositional theory, then nothing is impossible. Great job.

[@AmazingErrChannel]

I can never get over the fact that the check sounds so groovy for 2 beats and then it sounds all over the place after that

[@gamingborger]

at least it's not terrible XD. sounds like the band room practicing a new thing and weren't shown first or ever

[@tylerquattlebaum2015]

Would love to see you use this as a part of your "Fixing bad percussion writing" series.

[@JerridFoiles]

Change the name to "This was a Bad GOOD Idea!"

[@NicDunn]

It sounds like every section heard where they were starting differently

[@mrnoname2353]

Video 24 of asking for the full Freebird Guitar Solo on the Megatenors on the Megatenors Edit: its 24, my Bad

[@SwimmerBrody13]

The fact that he did it 💀

[@stevennihipali3607]

Worked out fairly well like you were saying... kinda surprised. Couldn't been an advanced band working on parts in the zero hour warmup lol

[@WesMorgan1]

I did something like this in the late 1970s; I wrote a BASIC program for the Radio Shack TRS-80 that used (a) an array of every pattern/rest that fit in 1/2 beat and (b) a random number generator to generate snare solos, which I transcribed and added dynamics, sticking, time signatures, etc. I used one of them in competition, and...well, let's just say that the judges weren't ready for that level of technology. That's my story, anyway, and I'm sticking to it. 8)

[@iheartjoebo]

babe, new EMC video dropped.

[@LostFunocity]

It started out awesome and then kind of went....south and then got back on track somehow? Very entertaining as usual.

[@oscargill423]

Gotta love composing with little to no creative effort... I feel called out More please if you wouldn't mind

[@RedDogMamaHD]

1:34 I was hoping that you would get a LOOPY Grandma during the Tenor section!

[@manolismanioudis4207]

I like the tap off of the second bar

[@rasselmaennchen]

The work you put in your videos is brutal :O

[@jefforear641]

That “e” in measure 2 thou… 🙌🏼👏🏼🤌🏼 8:37

[@ProudPapaJD]

I’ve heard worse cadences, and that bass feature actually rocked!

[@cadengoff3808]

most effort i’ve ever seen put into a 9 minute video

[@monkefunni]

let’s go new emc vid!

[@MikeDCWeld]

I think it could be quite interesting to hear how a whole show would turn out written that way. For the brass lines, I'd go with two spinners. The first would be filled with notes and rests of different lengths and the second one would have all the pitches for that instrument.

[@haji2nd444]

The way everyone's schools write drum features.

[@nickolaslillogodoy3496]

As a Latino, this reminded me of the music I hear in the streets during some local festivity

[@cal_c_percussion]

that cymbal feature goes incredibly hard. the rest of it is definitely some notes.

[@charleswallace5237]

Good morning, and this is Video number 66 of asking for marchable bass drums set up in a tenor formation. I.e. benor drums PS: custom backbar may be needed

[@Its_GDog]

its such chaos but for some reason i love it

[@CatfishingCarp_UTAH]

Dang thats like when a new kid trys to play chops but does not know anything about music so he plays random notes

[@WhovianDoot07]

@EMCproductions If I send you a cadence that was written for my school, can you please play it? It would be an honor!!

[@RustyDodd]

this sounded like when i walked into drumline practice and everybody was working on something different

[@jasonsams4258]

That was pretty sick! Great job!

[@DonkeyKong98]

Composed Improvisation basically

[@toxi101yt5]

Measure 9 and 10 sound pretty cool ngl

[@DaelTijerina]

1:29 Emc looks like he’s see through

[@Goalie29]

You should have spun for a random dynamic

[@lostvalkyrie69]

It was okay. Popcorny in some spots but the bass licks for the solo were super cool.

[@jessefoutz597]

I must learn the secrets of these hybrid rudiments I've never heard of...

[@JohnDonovanDotBiz]

It was great !!!

[@corcor7871]

real surprised by the end product. definingly thought it was going to be a real mess.

[@skullet4039]

this guy os so underrated he oits so much time into each video

[@connorericksonmusic]

It sounds like when I try to write a drumline cadence.

[@inanedreamz673]

Video 2 of asking EMC to keep making percussion content

[@christinashelby6083]

I feel like Cowbell has been demoted! Was she jealous you used that wheel instead of her? ;)

[@onionn-ring]

hi emc, i was wondering if you could review some of the thomann marching snares, thanks

[@JonBecker81]

Ever thought about putting mics on the basses to get more tone in the mix?

[@bobbarksofficial4335]

Happy 4th of July

[@coiLz0r911]

This was a fun one. How difficult was it to play?

[@PakistanBuilds]

can i ask why you photoshop the drumheads white in your thumbnails?

[@argonham]

That sounded like the most awkward thing I’ve ever heard

[@defiant-flounder3948]

Good stuff!!!

[@timcrockett71]

This is what drumline sounds like to people that know nothing about drumline

[@michaeldumguy]

Eric, serious question. I have 6 pack of tenors, with two 6" drums, and then goes 8" through 13". How would you tune the double 6" drums?

[@wintersoldier0]

should have named it "The Bad way" and it did sound good minus the intro with the snare

[@litink120]

You might have already said before, but what software is this?

[@austintolley4066]

I believe he's using Musescore 3 with the drumline extension, it's free by the way!

[@litink120]

@@austintolley4066 thank you

[@Forcer360]

the roll off 😂

[@ajames0531]

It just sounded like a bunch of random notes with no real groove to it. However I do like the idea of using the wheel to help decide what to put in there. But quite like this. 😅

[@wind_andenergy4611]

Correct👍

[@resipsaloquitur13]

I'm calling this one "Beef Stew".

[@Ren18438]

I been watching these kinds of videos. I would like to know though, what notation software do you use? Also, keep up the great work man!

[@James_Ambrose_RC]

He uses musescore

[@pulsar-_-4504]

this sounded great!

[@musicrecord430]

where can I find a check pattern list?

[@abrahamkonnorbasurto583]

What app do you use to write the music?

[@LaserGuy64]

I like it!

[@SpitefulAZ]

is it just me or are tenors and snares the most noticeable sounds?

[@petebenes948]

So I felt that overall this was way better than anticipated, but there were certainly moments that felt like the drums were thrown at the wall to see what stuck. I think the cymbal feature was the weakest point, it felt slightly off kilter.

[@ZacScott863]

The cadence was awesome 👍

[@LukeLavender-w8t]

What sticks does he use??

[@receiverofmemory1622]

Very nice

that was such a goofy ahh cadence

[@jclar5453]

First off, nice cadence (being random), Secondly, I'm going to be a section leader next year, and my main responsibility is gonna be training cymbals. I have plans for a lot of visuals and fun features, but any tips on how to teach and keep them from being bored out of their minds? (Our cymbals are all incoming freshman)

Wow I'm early

[@EMCproductions]

You're first! Good work.

[@ctbvr]

Not first 😢

[@steverman2312]

even worse idea: have chatGPT write a cadence. do it the same way you did this cadence: ask it to write one bar, and then the next, and then the next, rinse and repeat for each part.
