This is over hyped by non drummers. All drummers recognize how little flow the cadence actually has 😂

[@___Bruh__]

Yeah but it’s still really hard to play the sixtuplets around the drums. Especially the 3-4 ones

[@DouglasStevens0521]

@@___Bruh__ yeah definitely. I'm just talking about the phrasing. There are 2 parts where it just stops and there is a tap off. I have never seen anything else where there is a tap off in the middle. It totally kills the flow

I’m a senior in the band that made jig 2 and made it super famous. It makes me happy to see what other people think of it. The only thing I wish our director did was copyright it....

[@ProteinPowderDust]

That’s really cool, it’s a cool cadence, i occasionally watch some videos on it lol

[@absolutelyshmooie7086]

If it was copyrighted it would probably not be so popular

[@巻木トリスタン]

now you feel how the creator of amen break felt like lol

[@sharkinfestedwaters97]

your band is insane my man. I play quads at my high school and literally every other quads player I've ever met knows what jig 2 is and probably plays it at every football game.

[@poophead3535]

you went to oak mountain

[@JamesThatcher]

so in other words, there's another line on the music where it calls for "screaming high school students".... Yeah, I've never been a huge fan of jig 2 - now JIG 2 with all Chickens.... maybe that has potential...

I as the bass 2 player in my high school's marching band, would like to praise you for pointing out the struggles of bass 2. Nobody understands...

[@JustJqy]

Yea the bass I have to carry is over 30 pounds

[@Drummerboy_marc]

I understand

[@reddead0514]

Agree I was on 4th grade when I first play bass drum because our bass drummer will gradute. When I first Play it it was so heavy. Now Im going to middle school where there is another Marching band.

[@thebaseballtheorist2371]

This guy played the cadence better alone than most high schools

[@6apone]

And he has been doing this since 4th grade and he’s like 25 and by himself going under tempo with screaming high school students

[@feel.s1304]

Hes also an accomplished professional percussionist.

[@dogestep64]

Obviously you're comparing a grown man who does this for a living to teens with barely any experience 💀

[@somedude4014]

Well I mean and he’s also been playing for a very long time and most high school students have little experience with tenor

[@SacredAmbulance]

can hear a trombone doing scales in the backgound

[@shawnw5738]

This guy needs more credit. Do you know how hard it is to record something and have it all in time? Even with a metronome it's hard. Good job EMC!

[@LDM08]

There is some magical force called editing

[@メグロモスアウト]

I am a Japanese student. I want to play this song. However, I do not understand the explanation in English well. I would appreciate it if you could write the main points together. Thank you!

Hi

[@ryandunklee634]

Now Eric will be interweb famous

[@scrabblej]

Another cadence from cadence Hell. So many groups play this and a lot of them play it badly. But the reaction is always the same. (Everyone screaming). I'll just keep my ear plugs in and pray they don't pop a head.

[@tymazzga9984]

Every band member that isnt a drumline member always asks for us to play this, and we recently just started saying no because of how tired of it we all are😂😂😂

[@v.p.s.]

Next you gotta do the "Best Drumline Video Ever!" or the Bloocoats "Flam Jam" that everyone only watches the first 2 mins of.

[@laverdadesmejor]

How could you not like this guy? He's a 'drummer', he's a 'Marine', and he makes entertaining videos!

[@forrestranger4727]

I'd just like to mention, if you look up "most hyped jig 2", the top result should be titled "Most Hyped JIG 2 at Pep Rally". It's by far the best version of this cadence I've heard, and it gives you a little more perspective of how it's supposed to be played. But be warned, the Tenors need tuned a bit.

[@timbeer8266]

Good morning, I'm curious to know about all the do's and don't's of writing for drumline.

The highschoolers is the most important part. What do you mean?!?

Can we hear/see more of the trombone player next door

[@leader_big_shiee]

Go for the trombone solo!,the guy in the background -fellow Bass trombone player

[@micycles1200]

One thing that I always hate about Jig 2 is that the bass line always needs a count off. I feel that it's totally possible for any bass line to just pick up where the cadence left off just like the tenors. It's not really that hard. Even if the argument is that the tenor feature is slower than the main cadence... that argument doesn't apply for basses because they're not all playing the sextuplets the way the tenors are. They don't need that slower tempo because it's a split. They play the same thing at faster tempos all the time. It just seems dumb to me that every time I see a line play Jig 2, they give the basses a count off.

[@zippitydoo-da3335]

I remember playing PB Boogie back in high school so many times and at so many retarded speeds that by the time my sophomore year hit, I was over it badly. Me (quints) and the other TD players (quads) demanded that we be allowed to craft and create our own new cadence to play. honestly all a cadence is is nothing more than the drummers just letting loose and letting the rhythm take over their bodies. There really is no major "challenge" to a cadence, they are just fun.

[@mzens1]

I’d love to hear you do Electric Wheelchair.

[@XxHayd3nDav1ds0nxX]

I’m struggling with ‘8 on a hand’ Eric so I was wondering if you could break that down please. That’s the only thing keeping me from DCI

[@loganr7108]

As a non-percussionist I never realized there were so many cymbal notes

[@XavierQuin]

This was the best I’ve ever heard this played and the least excited I’ve ever been by it. I don’t think people understand that school bands are just here for entertainment. Never got why people hated on more basic songs cuz they were easy. If the student section is hype, the performance was a success lol.

[@TylerDunphy]

in my school it's a meme to play this on whatever we can. Whenever the BD leaves for a minute I play it on the timpani xD we might play this but the bass part would literally have to be quarter notes for them to be able to

[@briandreiling6944]

Why this cadence sucks: it teaches young drummers that speed and hype is what’s important rather than clean drumming, keeping a solid tempo.

[@MineManiac2000]

Hey Eric! Were you at TIA Finals? I was working with Egg Harbor Township HS this season, and got to say hi to JC before they went on. I've been subbed for a bit, and enjoyed all the weird, creative, and educational content you've put out! I hope I get to meet you someday through the circuit.

[@malditobandito98]

Only EMC can play Jig 2 and actually make it sound good

[@mantistoboggan2599]

The only thing funnier than how much of a meme this cadence is, is the fact Eric made an almost 20 minute long video breaking it down

But fuck, you guys play with insane speed technique, I’ve never found a good one that helps me understand why my double strokes sound like normal rolls attempted by beginners.

[@Heavymetalthunda3]

I wonder what Jig 1 sounds like

[@dego5064]

1:44 i was thinking, just start with your left so your left can move to drum 2 once you are on the 4 16th note, me as a lefty player I learned to play with my left so this part confused me because when I tried it on my pad it was super easy, and then i forgot so yeah

[@0Aquamelon]

To all jig 2 haters: I’d like to ask you to play the solo on one drum. In other words: play a sextuplet single stroke roll consistently for several bars. Do you still think it’s easy?

[@ecksluss]

It's a super basic cadence. It's just fast.

[@0Aquamelon]

Xyluss Nelms it is, but it takes skill to hold a single stroke roll for that long and be clean

[@ecksluss]

@@0Aquamelon ok, but I could write a cadence at 180 that's nothing but 16th notes with accents on 1 and the & of 2 for 24 bars and sure, it would be "difficult" to play consistent 16ths for all 24 bars but.. still basic and boring. This cadence is overhyped
