He Sight-Read a Tenor Solo and Got Last Place! (Behind the Gock Block 6)

[@EveryoneLovesLinda]

OMG thanks to everyone who helped write the solo 💛💛💛

[@RedDogMamaHD]

I am so glad that you were able to get so many submissions! You did an excellent job of putting together all the licks! 😘🥰😍

[@aubreybrown1480]

@EveryoneLovesLinda how do you feel about Steven shouting he loves you in the solo?

[@guyinablazer8085]

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

[@judecrawford2351]

I’d only simp for Linda

[@SteveVi0lence]

I'm a little disturbed at this

[@amazngdrummr27]

I'd say this solo was a huge success. EHEHehehehehehe!!!!!!

[@RedDogMamaHD]

I'm so glad to know that you do love your Loopy Grandma! 👵🥰

[@KyleTheCadet]

You kiss that drum 4 REEEAL good.

[@colincharmley6858]

Hello Ehehhehehehehehe!

[@salty__1]

Hey, Stop squeaking ur chiken

[@Joshua-qv1ho]

How did you get a 32 before penalties if you played it perfectly

[@jjulian910]

EMC productions is the perfect mixture of comedy and drumming

[@michaelboswell8421]

It’s a drumedy

[@alphax101-gaming2]

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.

[@theTenorDrummer]

Right?!

[@lopingmymule3104]

Steven don’t flub

[@icewallowkids6628]

The electric guitar shred to jig 2 was probably the greatest phrase ever

[@rouxsauced]

I take full credit for that

[@TylerDunphy]

It was a Van Halen solo I think!

[@Happythonk]

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

[@KAYDdubz]

“Oh jeez guys the nazi’s are storming the AA gun”

[@PFC2018]

“Oh jeez guys are we supposed to charge at them? But they’re shooting machine guns at us! Oh gosh guys!”

[@CalebDaThing]

Steven in the Russian revolution 1917

[@bjorn_joseph]

Judging by the last name and number of generations necessary, Steven Sassafras the First was probably a really wimpy Confederate soldier

[@blinkle1pls]

>why the nazis lost

[@The_asdfghjkl]

I watched A man drum almost complete nonsense or 17 minutes.And I don't regret it.

[@benportzer]

Me neither

[@michaelshaffield642]

“Twerk for 8 counts”

[@aubreybrown1480]

The legendary twerk

[@DaJBrew]

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.

[@theTenorDrummer]

Agreed!

[@RedDogMamaHD]

Good Morning

[@EMCproductions]

First comment! Good job.

[@salty__1]

Congrats on first comment 👏

[@flarfatron2190]

Jood gob

[@TDDrummer2]

Good afternoon

[@Slimeman2point0]

Sight reading is what I call playing during a show.

[@ObscureMachines]

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!

[@thor_ell8720]

No joke I was in my head like “imagine someone put in jig 2” and 20 seconds later: Jig 2

[@leannacheek2133]

I had marching band practice today and the metronome is still haunting my ear drums 😀

[@God-th1me]

The “sticks in, sticks out, sticks in” killed me

[@SusannE-zw8rn]

8:37 wholesome joe

[@theautisticdoomgod]

He's just your average Joe. 😊😊😊😊

[@vinnysnowball7103]

I liked the part where you played Jig 2. EDIT - I also liked the other part where you played Jig 2

[@matthewolive1262]

What about the poison lick? And the other poison lick?

[@0Aquamelon]

I have to say, I'm impressed that he sightread everything correctly. THat's an accomplishment in itself

[@nateh9197]

13:24 Maybe the coolest sound ever to propagate from my phone speakers to my ears

[@tjbeckk2]

Literally the funniest video I’ve ever seen

[@KyleTheCadet]

Omg you did 8:10 exactly as planned! I died! 😂

[@RedDogMamaHD]

I wondered who suggested that! EPIC! 😂🤣🤣

[@aubreybrown1480]

@KyleTheCadet ohmygod you’re a legend

[@cosinex8361]

Makes sense it was you Kyle

[@cosinex8361]

EMC: accidentally starts to talk in Steven voice

[@RedDogMamaHD]

Sisch minutes! 🤣

[@theautisticdoomgod]

​@@RedDogMamaHDSHICKSS MINUTES!!!!!

[@JacobRhodes-gj3yl]

Eruption into jig 2 had me DYING🤣🤣

[@gabrielvermilyea8777]

This was the funniest one I’ve seen so far, it made me laugh so many times

[@mr_torle]

So much creativity in these solos. Love it!

[@morganstvchannel8347]

I really love your drumming you definitely are Awesome

[@dragonslayer4250]

Wow when eric made that commercial break yt actually gave me an add for some random social network

[@anime_potatoes7187]

That song was so scattered and I love it

[@flarfatron2190]

13:06 “if it’s too hard just improv” Eric: *”you dare oppose me, mortal?”*

[@bobbarksofficial4335]

Hi Tucker

[@Gursers14]

11:12, man those cheeses were so clean. Not that everything else wasn't. But dude, those cheeses were impressive.

[@BruhmanTheGreat]

What threw me off is when he said 'ad break', and my video actually cut to an ad for Old Spice...

[@ErnieJ89]

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

[@clecss]

i dont know why but this is just so fun to watch

[@gernonderg2184]

I'm so glad mine was featured, even though it says melodic toms lol

[@philmeisner5237]

Steven throwing the stick at the wall is unreal

[@BowlingNG]

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.

[@kitkatkid1976]

9:52aye ya boy got featured

[@sleepy-gamer]

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.

[@Āþħōřřēňť]

12:50. Rip EVH

[@Content_Created_]

I want more behind the Gock block episodes

[@raccoon_salad9980]

This is by far the best video yet

[@ferretyluv]

More of these stories! I need more Carrmen Heights lore!

[@crystalfordham2833]

i magine he says hi to a intermidiate drummer like me...IMAGINE

[@ceddamann7837]

We need more vids like this

[@Vanilla-jd1ez]

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.

[@infernopsych._4509]

i can’t get enough of steven’s smile

[@TorchicAndMudkip]

After 16:24 I think the tempo was a bit slower than intended but at least we got tongue

[@kristianthony5805]

This was amazing 😂😂😂

[@dylanjc]

I'm pretty sure I've heard this solo like 14 times.

[@M4RCM0NT31R0]

10:13 "I LOVE LINDA!"

[@NeedySpeedy55]

wtf i got an actual ad on the ad break after the buffer and i thought he put an hiv skit in lmao

[@theTenorDrummer]

That's hilarious!

[@Chaosdude7111]

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.

[@thegreennate8156]

Hey Eric, here's an idea: What if you made another random lick video but (like in this video) used measures written by viewers!

[@ziomatthewmusic4205]

I literally laughed out loud at this one.

[@Iplayquad]

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

[@DoomA165]

Dude this was a master piece.

[@lucasdickinson999]

I got a grammarly ad after he said „After a quick commercial break“

[@1976kanthi]

Good Morning EMC! Hope you are doing good

[@Feerrar]

10:02 such power

[@jordananderson9389]

This whole video was made just to plug Linda's channel

[@tj1lincoln182]

11:10 so slick and clean

[@RedDogMamaHD]

10:04 More Cowbell!

[@jonathansefcik473]

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.

[@Dippydeppy]

I love ur drum videos!

[@JohnathanWhitehorn]

9:52 broken city lmao

[@micahmccleney8298]

Best video by far

[@PIX_65]

nah because when he said after this add the add popped up also i love this 😂

[@morganmeehan5199]

CRHS Pioneers rule! Absolutely hilarious, well done.

[@soullessusurper]

Let's not forget that this is all sight read...wow Steven is insane at sight reading

[@Flamsleburger]

I like how your- I mean they're excuse is that they didn't play it bad it was just the music

[@Thanosfarmsinc]

Well he played it perfectly...

[@DavidPallinMusic]

I actually got an ad at the fake ad break 😂

[@Dullrig]

holy shit that solo was way funnier than i had anticipated

[@SamTheTriangleTrains]

I got an actual ad during the "quick commercial break." Two commercials in one, I guess?

[@gavynhardison5764]

Peak lore video

[@drumset09]

10:13 "I LOVE LINDA!!"

[@christinashelby6083]

Linda, you've got some talented fans! Now I feel bad for how lame mine was.

[@jeffreymarcum9053]

All the random rests are great lol

[@SoFtBOILeD181]

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)

[@theTenorDrummer]

Absolutely, that takes skill!

[@alexfuhrman4200]

This proves Steven is one of the greatest tenor players of all time. He sight read this.

[@WardenIsAngry]

as soon as bro said after this commercial break I got an actual ad 💀

[@Happythonk]

1:22 is that a bit of white boy smooth I hear?

[@ferretyluv]

Those spock drum heads are basically untouched lol.

[@samglover4923]

mannnnn hopefully ill see it sooner next time you do one of these so i can contribute too!

[@averybyars5782]

I love when it says tuba

[@lucscott3631]

12:15 was exactly as I imagined it

[@groovytrollie4801]

This was really funny. One of your better videos!

[@samuelberry546]

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

[@not_carson8642]

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😂😂😂

[@griffinspercussion]

[@bradenmitchell5565]

12:50 R.I.P. Eddie

[@GoSloSho]

[@bobbarksofficial4335]

[@lws7142]

[@coastermaniacs]

[@RedDogMamaHD]

Steven loves Loopy Grandma 14:55

[@lucasb3462]

I like how there was one that said piano but like piano sheet music

[@finleyandburstproductions2410]

[@samanthakeane8904]

You have to admit it was unique for a solo
