I Made a Drumset out of Marching Drums

[@squillz8310]

*"Cymbals are everyone's favorite thing."* YES! Please tell that to the Drum Corps that don't March Cymbals. I like seeing their choreography, plus they make for a more full and dynamic Battery Section.

Cymbals are in the pit, they'll be fine

[@macefowler3309]

@@drop0ut606 you can play a trumpet in pit using a synthesizer, does that mean they don’t belong on the field either?

@@macefowler3309 by that logic you can put the whole band in the pit and project a movie onto the field. don't stretch the convo lol. cymbals are fine I just don't see the point of adding them to the field at a DCI level.

[@coolmanjack1995]

It's so fun to hear EMC a literal professional who is destroying the drum kit with his hands struggle even a little bit to play with his foot. It just gives me hope you know, Eric was human once as evidenced by the fact he couldn't practice kick drum all those years

[@sean5028]

Important detail: WAS human. He has since transcended.

[@ferretyluv]

As he says, he doesn’t play drums. He plays DRUMS.

[@jean-poljacques4284]

He just pulled the lick on us guys. Unannounced. Viciously. Well done emc.

*This deserves to be entered in Guitar Center’s annual contest. I think Eric has it in the bag*

[@aliciaserrano9698]

Some hot riffs there. I've always thought to leave it to Eric to be a one man drumline

[@gregwonhoff7161]

I don’t know how you come up with some of your ideas, but I love them. They, for the most part, are so different than most other posts about drumming. Thank you for all you do for this channel.

[@mogmason6920]

Terry Bozzio would also be proud

[@ferretyluv]

Not enough rototoms for Neil.

[@Zach-gd7ec]

we had to do this in my jazz band, because we only had concert band drums. We had to use those concert band drums for a drum set in jazz band. It was the funniest thing ever.

[@msb8013]

I used my marching snare at some of the gigs our band director attended. You can get some mean rock sounds using the rim.

[@squillz8310]

"So, they used concert drums for their Jazz band. Funniest shit I've ever seen."

[@Zach-gd7ec]

@@squillz8310 yep, we used the rim of a concert snare instead of the rim of an actual drum set drum. (idk the names of all the drums srry.

[@Zach-gd7ec]

Also, we didn’t have an extra symbol stand so it was suspended from an upside down music stand. We had to weigh it down using ANOTHER MUSIC STAND so that it wouldn’t fall over

@@squillz8310 he literally turned himself into a pickle

[@drop0ut606]

In high school when I got my first kit "which was my schools pep band kit they gave to me when they got a new one". I also took some old quads and added them to the kit because I was a huge Mike Portnoy fan and I figured quads were as close as i could get to his octobans haha.

[@theTenorDrummer]

The new standard for all drum sets

[@josephmiddleton4422]

Our high-school drumline in 1996 did this for our solo performance during a half time show but we had the quad players just bend over a little bit and we had our cymbal players become the cymbal stands . It was pretty inventive then as it is now. Took us weeks of practice to get all the movements and the piece down but when it came friday night performance we executed it flawlessly it was a show stopper that year for sure. Love what ya do EMC !!

[@RC32Smiths01]

Came for the drums, stayed for the beard

[@sonorangaming449]

I have been wanting something like this forever. I love the sound of marching drums, and always wondered how it would sound as a drumset. Its amazing

[@faustochermont9328]

Ok, you won ! My kit has five snares but, four Bass drums are out and above anything I could think of. Well done !

[@cloud99955]

How do you use 5 snares?

[@floatdude]

Hot for Teacher bass parts are possible now with this setup.

[@RedDogMamaHD]

About 2 hours ago, I left Loopy Great Grandma's house, heading to Dayton/WGI Finals. Stopped for lunch and saw this posted. I hope the 1 other guy eating inside at McD's appreciated the epic beats! See you tomorrow, Eric 😘🥰

[@davidhunt6508]

Imagine the things you could do with a whole bunch of really good drum mics.

[@SameM1stakes]

What a good sounding improv bit. Now I want to try more and do better as well.

[@hudouj]

man be like Neil Peart 2.0

[@allenmitchell09]

Dude! The idea of having different sized kicks as part of a more elaborate beat is awesome. I have thought of it in my head before but never had the equipment to try it. I really enjoyed seeing it go down.

[@samuelv7334]

The lick at the end 😂 this video was so good

[@cartoonpower0]

No way bro, I clicked on this video literally right after watching 3 headed monster, such a cool piece you wrote. Been in love with it ever since I found the video about 3-4 years ago. It goes through my head randomly during school a lot.

[@zFurious]

You're FINALLY doing it! I've been asking for a few months!! THANK YOU

[@Apollostowel]

Man we gotta get some sorta collar with EMC here and Dankpods/GarbageTime in Aussieland. Two master-degree percussionists who like to build things out of nothing and also play meme music.

[@Apollostowel]

Collab, even

[@ferretyluv]

Dankpods is a drummer? I just know him for reviewing headphones.

[@Apollostowel]

@@ferretyluv check out his Drumthing channel, he has a thing about cymbals.

[@georgefilmanimation]

This sounds amazing dude!

[@ilovefunnyamv2nd]

I don't know if it's too much cymbal, or not enough, but it's definitely one of them. OH I KNOW, it's a gong, need a the big gong behind the drumset!

[@Hanslauer]

Hooray! I've been wanting to see you replay this for a while.

[@dimitriid]

Drumset part looks a bit hard to get having to turn hard left BUT that's mostly because of where you had to set up the hihats basically behind you otherwise it looks like you might be able to reach the snare and some of the drumkit without having to turn your entire body left as dramatically. Maybe you can get one of those cable hithat pedals that let you just place the actual hihats on like a cage? But well that might involve buying a cage and an expensive specialized hihats but something for the future iterations.

[@ahumanperson9496]

I cannot handle the amount of drums there are

[@joelalleyne]

Love your creativity ❤

[@jtg2737]

This reminds of something that Stephen Perkins from "Jane's Addiction" or since some time ago "Porno for Pyros" would probably would setup for different sounds.

with Sugarfoot quadruple bass drums in it.

[@iTip28]

If. You can figure out a way to motorize a riser... What a summer you'll have out and about!

[@tankodinson323]

they make pedals that extend out quite a bit and use a wire pull method rather than the bulky double kicks.

[@RichMalishefski]

You should do some covers on the kit, might be pretty cool and they are good to learn skills

[@oneinfinity]

There's a lot of double pedals nowadays that come with an extra beater holder on the left pedal so you can use them as single pedals. 3 out of 5 double pedals I owned came with that feature. So you don't actually need to own a left-footed double pedal to recreate this setup.

[@jonahrosales14]

Literally had a bass drum tap off right into an Old Spice ad Thanks KZbin

Check out drummer Neil Garthly. He would play a full drum set groove (with marching snare) with his feet and then play melodies on his toms. This abstract set up reminded me of him.
