The drum sounds really good even on the wings of a plane and in the middle of apocalypse.

Glad to know I can play this on an airplane wing if needed. Great vid, the editing quality is 10/10, really enjoying the direction you're moving! Keep up the good work

[@benholmes6335]

Glad to see EMC is showing support to the Dutch community

[@CasondraM]

I'm just gonna say it, I'm happy I found your channel recently. I've been out of touch with my "musical performance" self for a decade but watching your videos and seeing your quirkiness and talent reminds me of that joy I used to have. I am/was a percussionist (vibraphone was my jam) but your content is always well worth watching. Even something like a snare drum review that I wouldn't expect to be engaged in, you still manage to keep it interesting and entertaining. Thanks! :)

[@normal_guy_vr7936]

2:17 just my favorite part for no reason

[@williampletcher8091]

6:24 EPIC timing ... going down the slide in turn, and finishing in sync.

[@mutex1024]

I think he has a click track in his head phones.

[@a-gappower1574]

Very relieved to know this will still sounds great when we do our first annual "airplane wing drumline revue" later this year

[@MaFnNewports]

I cant lie, the sound of that drum outside made me need new pants. Brb.

[@cjt217]

I'm incredibly blessed to have had my HS drumline instructor be someone who had multiple years of DCI experience and brought the tuning knowledge into our school! I've been watching these tuning tips videos and the information isn't necessarily new, for me, but I imagine it's going to change the way some groups handle their drums! You're doing an amazing service to the community :)

[@marktegrotenhuis]

Nice Dutch flag you got there on your new Mapex snare drum. 😉 🇳🇱 Did you know that Mapex is the American brand from the Majestic Percussion company, based in the Netherlands?

[@cobalt._.27]

majestic… that’s the brand that my school uses

[@cobalt._.27]

And yes, I knew that!

[@kinzoku777]

My school uses mapex, interesting fact!

[@oldguy445]

As the saying goes: Once a Marine, always a Marine. Are you going to teach/consult any drum lines?

[@johnnymitchellcollier]

he's taught schools and (i think) corps before he joined the commandants own

Mapex always was so good at giving a great snare sound and response, especially for outdoor use

Mapex, the official snare drum of KZbin

[@dinkindane]

Mapex snares are awesome. My school uses Mapex snares and they look and sound awesome.

[@NastyJesusDrumming]

hey emc. i’m in a dancing marching band and i just wanna know your opinion on dancing marching bands, i find it pretty fun and would actually like to see you play a dancing marching band song. one i strongly recommend is The Show.

[@pearsebrent]

so excited for this, my school uses mapex and love their drums

[@BareTactical]

holy moly that thing sounds amazing outside 😍 😍

[@goofballmanx4569]

Thank you for your service

That swing set bit slayed me!

Love the American twist on the drum wrap. U.S.A.!!!!!!!!!

[@Glennquagmire1912]

Big ups to you for actually standing on the wing of a plane for 5 separate takes

[@RCSalty135]

Dude! That DD214 is looking good on you!

[@dudders___1684]

At the end of the month, if you decide to keep the beard, just trim the neck beard up to just above your Adam’s apple, and make a line on both side of the hair on the top of your cheeks. that alone will make it look a lot better. Also to help with the itching and stuff, beard oil, beard butter and beard balm really helps with all that. I use all of those. Cool video, man

[@lez_smkkgatle8083]

Drum looks amazing bro

[@garygardner7603]

Love this dude. He's GREAT for a rudimental drummers passion and discipline. Subscribe to him. Support him and encourage him and no I don't know him and I'm NOT paid to say a word about him. I don't know him from Adam.. I just think he's good for our discipline. Keep drumming all. Blessing my brothers and sisters.

[@joshuaspicer7676]

DUDE you are an amazing player. Dear lord my guy. Fantastic stuff.

[@colossusforbin5484]

Love those mylar rimshots.

[@jonathanwells7324]

[@lexar4035]

I'd love to see him take a snare like this and make one of those DIY "practice pads" and give his thoughts

[@loweffortproductions1985]

This man is Stevie T but with drums and I love it.

[@adityatyagi4009]

Just discovered your channel. You are a badass drummer!

[@Jayethekid]

Mylar heads are awesome!!!

[@Robstar664]

I might get one of these bad boys 🔥

[@stephenbyrnes7205]

You know, that custom finish you got reminds me of the custom wrap for your red Yamahas that you promised the viewers you'd get...

Keep it up man love the vids. Brings me back to marching band back in 2007 08 and 09

Nice use of the "Three Camps".... ;-)

Homies gonna be looking the most fresh ever December 1st

[@snow_bruh20]

Regular note = G5 Rim shot = C#6 or A#5 (one of them are sounded in one of the shots)

[@imwearingcons1137]

I would love to take my kids to a playground and run into someone drumming for their sweet KZbin channel. 😁

[@kevinherrington7370]

I like the use of the White’s house from breaking bad in the green screen at 3:00.

[@hilltopdrummer]

The shots with the stock head sounds like tenor rimshots

[@dilloncarpenter]

I thought the playground scenes were hilarious but then I LOST it when you hit the swings

[@michellepalmer6381]

Your editing is so fun.

[@stevebishop2504]

i see you sneaking in a little UP 2011 at 6:48 … wish i had the full transcription, one of my favorite WGI breaks all time

[@gavin_bigred]

I'm so excited for this. Mapex is my favorite drum brand and the drums we use at osu! Also im first Also why flamams 2 batter? I figured Whitemax would be better sounding?

[@EMCproductions]

Mapex is great! And so is being the first comment. Good job.

[@Mayhxmmmm]

me too on this one, why the falams 2 batter, instead of whitemax?

[@forictus8405]

The Whitemax heads are made of Mylar pretty sure and then the Falams heads are made of Kevlar which offer a different sound and the Falams II heads are also thicker which give for more durability when tuning.

[@gavin_bigred]

@@forictus8405 they're both kevlar and Whitemax is more articulate and durable. Falams is also coated on the top and inside of the head.

[@giuseppe8976]

You’re the best thing that has happened to me since banished beyond……

[@DavisJay]

I can’t find any mapex snares anywhere, apparently they were discontinued while they work on a new model for 2022

[@fl4sh762]

lone star has some i think.. it says they're in stock on their website

[@DavisJay]

@@fl4sh762 I’ll check that out

[@DavisJay]

@@fl4sh762 I really want one with a white rim but I can settle for chrome😂

[@ethanyeats5872]

How would you describe the tension of your gut side head? Do you crank it as much as the batter side? At what tension do snares resonate the best? Haaaalp!

[@noahlasher9724]

The beard is looking fantastic

[@NorskGamer1]

The drum sounds very good form a long distance and on a playground slide too

[@airpax1160]

back when you were in the commandants own, did you ever march with one of those rope tension drums?

[@emperor_sebas2572]

Video 3 of commenting until EMC makes a marching drum that contains snare, tenors, basses, and some cymbals.

[@jelmerdijkstra1085]

Its nice that there is a dutch flag on it🇳🇱🇳🇱

[@jfragale03]

I find it really funny how the rim shot before you tuned it sounded like quad shots

[@TheCOZ]

Nice slide work Eric

[@brice5863]

They're pretty good for show band style

[@tristenalexander420]

I want to get that exact snare, it's beautiful.

[@gavin_bigred]

I hope he gets some tenors. They are very nice and sound beautiful

[@toxi101yt5]

How does Eric manage to write the tastiest snare licks on the spot like damn

[@driftboy1233]

Hey, could you recommend anything a little more Budgetable, cause I’m not that rich

[@trevor6358]

Ultimately do whatever you want bc it's your face. But I would recommend (as a 12 year constant ,varying lengths beard having person) going to a proper barber at the end of November and get it shaped up to your liking. It really makes a difference and then you can make the decision after a couple days of wearing it.

[@Jmilillo]

I actually never realized that Eric is endorsed by Mapex

[@orangejuice4971]

Great vid! I miss the old background music tho

[@tedrickenator]

Thanks for this product demo -- is a less deep (10" vs 12") snare going to be coming to more drumlines soon? mainly indoor? or DCI as well?

[@TylerDunphy]

Most groups go for the 12” snares these days, but plenty of high schools and especially middle schools will often go for these slightly smaller drums.

[@jacobdaniels3246]

I didn’t know you were a proud Dutchman!

[@maxtherealone5491]

I don't think you should shave it completely at the end though I think you should make it look nice It looks good on you

[@MJLupin27]

Eric, which kind of drum is used for Ravel's Bolero? Thank you so much for your help.

[@matthewolive1262]

Is that 3 camps I hear? I love drumming Easter eggs.

[@BigMadBadLad]

Haha I did the EXACT same thing on my Mapex lol. I tried to use the Mylar and broke, then switched to kevlar

[@jakegodman]

Wow I haven’t seen anyone use the Falams II batter in AGES!

[@joecooper8527]

Solid goatee base.

[@darianwright9488]

7:25 what I hear every time to go to a DCI show

[@jeromieb038]

[@variancewithin]

when i build my drumset, i want to have a marching snare in the kit. idk why. just something i've always thought would be cool.

[@tristanalderton1415]

[@therocknextdoor3876]

i played the intro and outro tune in band camp once

[@tsreeves.percussion1933]

[@MigzMigz35]
