"Jig 2" Drumline Cadence - Full Breakdown (Learn the Beats)

[@gabrielpetix6858]

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.

[@ojrides]

you went to oak mountain

[@WolfPackAlpha-sn2sw]

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

[@Cube-sb9tp]

[@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

[@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...

[@Chazahc18]

James Thatcher THIS IS FACTS😂

[@laverdadesmejor]

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

You should break down Double beet. The one scv played in 2004

That’s a warm up for our snare line lol

[@ashamoosmith5805]

Double beat 9000

[@eboone]

Double beat 9000 is better in my opinion

[@DouglasStevens0521]

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

[@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😂😂😂

[@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.

[@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!

[@chroma6860]

Do. Write unique interesting features. Don't. Write Jig 2

The title of this video should've been renamed to "Jig 2 but it's actually good/clean"

[@rdub8168]

It's amazing how he can read the notes once and then play it perfectly first time

[@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

[@katkiddo7350]

Jig 2 is over played, but still extremely exciting. It always gets the crowd going.

[@SUPZClanGaming]

Thanks bro this helped teached my fellow drummers takes a lot off of the Drum Major

[@btdoubles4859]

I really thought I was the shit when I played this and then my coach gave my our field show music for tenor and I realized what I child I was

[@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.

[@unarmedhihat4077]

I like how bass 4 is causing the camera to shake, messing up the illusion of cloned players.

[@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.

This dude is a tank...I have absolutely no idea why this came up, but I’m liking this guy

[@patrickflanagan3184]

Bro your cadence has the exact same amount of drums my school has!! Thank you I am showing this to my teacher!

[@SeanKillmaster]

This cadence has a couple grooves mixed in that we used to have mixed into other cadences. Pretty cool.

[@mzens1]

I’d love to hear you do Electric Wheelchair.

[@tannerhall8410]

The most elegant way to fix the beginning part with the pushes: Start on the left hand and stick it as triple paradiddles.

[@jasonzurlo1543]

Can we get a version of the bass feature without the screaming high schoolers

[@unbrokencyrocryptic_9483]

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

Hi

[@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

[@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.

[@leader_big_shiee]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@eleazarsucksatgaming2130]

*I thought I had been clickbaited, but at **15:41** I was satisfied.*

[@brc21nerfreviews12]

Lol, didn’t even notice it

[@lyrics2challenged]

About 1:45 starting one over on the end, that's always been my exact solo start/combined start for DNK, otherwise I cannot catch proper pace (doesn't help that bass are never on one note and these newer kids now for whatever reason slow down on it partway through).

[@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

[@qmoyer]

That trombone in the other room really set the vibe throughout the video

[@MeganWampler-w9r]

I play bass drum in pep band, but next year i get to do marching band. I'm probably going to stick with bass drum for marching (because i know the parts, so it will be easier to march if ik the parts) But I'm possibly switching to Tenor drums for pep band.

could you do a video on how to improve diddles/double stroke rolls? i'm okay at them, but they still don't sound the greatest

[@derrickburwell7777]

Practice double beat exercises. They're designed to isolate what each hand does during a closed (fast) double stroke roll. Pay close attention to the strokes utilized: the tap-stroke followed by the up-stroke. Start slowly, concentrating on proper technique. Speed comes with time. Have fun with it! =O)

[@barefootalien]

Wow, this cadence is _ooooold!_ I remember other schools playing this lame-ass cadence when _I_ was in marching band twenty-five years ago! I really liked our cadences. Our percussion director wrote several of them himself afaik. I've never heard the main ones anywhere else. Edit: Actually, listening to the entire thing all put together, I realize that way back then, the bands I heard playing this were actually playing a way cooler version with a lot more interesting bass drum part.
