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

[@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! :)

[@AshenRJ]

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

Glad to see EMC is showing support to the Dutch community

[@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 :)

[@normal_guy_vr7936]

2:17 just my favorite part for no reason

[@a-gappower1574]

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

[@snowieee13]

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

[@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!

Mylar heads are awesome!!!

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

That bit on the swings was next level man, sheeesh.

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

[@airpax1160]

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

[@michellepalmer6381]

Your editing is so fun.

[@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

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.

[@DennisJohnsonDrummer]

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

[@Owen2131_]

Pitches are: (in concert pitch) For the drum sound it’s Ab, and for the rim it’s a Db

[@pacibels_cannon]

I actually disagree, I hear G and D

[@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!

[@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.

[@lexar4035]

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

[@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.
