I won't be satisfied until he makes a set of tenors out of entire xylophones and marimbas, and maybe a glockenspiel as a spock drum

Oh heck nah that’s gonna be really up there on the scale

This one is definitely interesting. It would by far be the most expensive. And there is no way In hell he would be able to march it. The setup would be very easy though

[@LtCdrXander]

saw someone else say it, but I also think "Cymbenors" is a fun name

[@Robin_Jo14]

I just had an audition for a state band and I'm worried about if I got in or not. Your videos have helped me become less anxious and and more focused on the things I learned and my passion for music. Thanks a bunch, keep up the great work! (UPDATE: I didn't make it into the band because I was one point below the cut line, but I have 4 more years to try out for it!)

[@reptarien]

DUDE. that cadence at the end was INCREDIBLE!!!

[@LowWindsGuy]

EMC should play Flight of the Bumblebee on the mega tenors

[@jummy0]

i'm curious to see your take on a marchable drumset - bass, snare, hi-hat, crash, and tom/tenor. good luck balancing it though

[@marktegrotenhuis]

I think balance isn't so hard if you keep the bass in the middle. Keeping the total weight as low as possible, that's the real challenge. I think inspiration should be taken from the so called cocktail drumsets.

[@michaellinnehan9589]

WOOOO that unison crossover part towards the end!

[@brandonrodriguez6443]

best tenor cadence ever

[@JosephofWalton]

The Glassmen marched tenor cymbals in 1994. It was interesting. On a side note, That was also the year that Phantom used woodblock tenors for a bit. You can barely hear them in the recording,

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

How about a tenor drum kit? Mike Mangini style, only not offset like his is.

[@CNder77]

Very cool video, awesomely written piece. Your ability and gift on drums is amazing. Thank you Eric for sharing it with us in all these fun ways

[@JamesThatcher]

So what you're saying is we could have a full drumline sound with just 4 percussionists... Snenors, tenors, bassnors, and cymbers...

[@gms13rulership42]

Magic Of Orlando marched something cymilar in their 1996 show in the perc feature

[@michaelirwin7258]

That was oddly satisfying at the end with the full cadence.

[@MadTheDJ]

Truly, you are the Mad Scientist of Drums 🥁 The Maverick of Percussion 🛩️ Great work, EMC! 🤟 ...but, like Mav in his test flight, maybe just a little more. Something is missing. This symphony of tenors needs... That's right... More cowbell. 🐮 Cowbell. Tenors. Cownors, if you will. 🎶🤠

[@WhyAmIHereLol-iw2qt]

What about Tenorborines and Trianors?

[@f0ru0l0rd]

I have... I cried. This is beautiful.

[@mattnieri1202]

Honestly, that is the coolest sounding cadence ever, IMO. Might just be because there is a much larger variety of percussion sounds compared to a normal drumline.

[@srajfnly2]

This is FIRE Eric

YES!!! Now we need tenor of cowbells?

[@christopherworrick184]

Glassmen Drum and Bugle Corps did something similar in the early 90's. They used REMO Splash Spoxe in their entire tenor line for part of the show.

That cadence was brilliant.

[@Phrynn]

Damn that all-tenor cadence was actually so sick!

[@danielbarnes7160]

At my school we have a song for our Pep band/basketball band that has a tenor part, but our band director doesnt want to break out the tenors. So our solution was to make a tenor out of cowbells. I would definitely want to see your approach to this as well as I think CowBenors are very nice sounding.

[@AznAfroMan513]

2:01 that's probably the first time I've ever seen him tick, EVER 😆

[@coiLz0r911]

Fantastic cadence. Also: very tenoresque cadence.

[@brokenwand379]

OMG HE DID IT NO WAY

[@petebenes948]

The first setup made me think that a full marching rendition of the Manowar song “Achilles, Agony and Ecstasy in 8 Parts” is called for. Particularly the drum solo section, “The Armor of the Gods.”

Hi Eric I’ve been wondering if you could help me by making a video about how to write a good high school drumline cadence because my section leader said we can use one I make next year as long as it’s good so please help. Thank you and I love your videos ❤ (Also I use MuseScore)

ECM you should make a tenor of practice pads maybe idk

[@NeilABliss]

I'd like to see you set up your drum kit in tenor format. Cymbals ,Toms all in Tenor config . And try to play both basic grooves and then alternaive grooves highlighting the "Tenorrness" of the set up.

[@zoneshard3870]

As a former marching band student that played cymbals for 4 years of high school I need it

Glassmen had cymbal quads in '94. They were used in the opener I believe.

Someone said “Cymbenors” and I agree, that’s the best name

[@drummermomcjs]

EPIC drum line!

[@Hillbilly-mgjwv]

Glassmen ‘94 had something similar to this. But the cymbals were upside down in what looked like the bottom part of rototoms.. (back when REMO made drums for a few years) The finals footage doesn’t show them up close though.

what if you made a set of tenors out of the bars from mallet instruments. It would either require incredible accuracy or it would be super tiny.

[@harries6977]

5:41 its sounds SO COOL

[@HallyPorter]

Tymbles, of course. Also I need you to make a tenor set with Hammerax Liquicy cymbals. But they are very hard to get. They once came in 14", 16", 19", 22" and 24". You know what else would be cool is if there was a hand pedal which would function same as a foot pedal, to open one of the hi hats.

[@neonx6568]

@@Themasterbot I know right

One day I will remake these and use smaller cymbals. I have a 8" splash, a 10" splash and a 12" splash. All I need is a crash and a ride with pitches that fit well with the splashes.
