*_EMC when are we getting the face reveal_*

[@orangeflipflop485]

yeah dude he cant hide forever, right?

[@bammmyouuu7752]

About what?

[@KennyCnotG]

I still think that EMC is just 36 rubber squeak chickens in a human suit

[@imjustyourneighbor3602]

What do you think of hbcu bands?

[@bodypillowbitch]

I would like this comment, but I wanna keep the like count at 420

[@evanporter1421]

When I clicked on this video, I thought he was auditioning for the top secret drum corps😅😅😅

[@Nareimooncatt]

Ditto.

[@plaidgrub]

But top secret doesn't have tenors😂

[@leviclark4509]

Same

[@wafersss]

@SavegerAlex Plays no

[@bigbowlowrong4694]

That’s what I’m a member of. I can smoke all of you bitches at the drums but I’m not allowed to prove it

[@extrovertednerd4351]

In 2017 he looks older than him now, and also he looks like the first boss of Mr Incredible in the Incredibles. Love the channel man👍

[@sw5824]

That is his older version of himself we have seen his future.

[@papa_moisture8779]

I’m actually really thankful you posted this because my school doesn’t have a drumline and me being a senior I wanted to do something that made me feel important so I’m starting a drumline completely from scratch. So thank you for posting this because this is giving me some good ideas on what to write for audition.

[@okalright3941]

Hows it goin?

[@dylanreyes2017]

Dude how did it go?!

[@Devidra48]

ayo? howd the drumline go?

[@theexecutionerk]

How’s the drumline

[@papa_moisture8779]

i mean it worked out for a few months but then covid happened. it was a good experience for me though and helped me realize how much i enjoy teaching.

[@kodak3235]

The para-diddle-diddle is my favorite rudiment. My favorite warm-up is one called fred.

[@gradyking4739]

Mine too, it’s so fun!

[@TylerDunphy]

I love cheeses

[@scsi2707]

I had to do an all state band audition with a paradiddle-diddle Yes I did make it in

[@TylerDunphy]

@@scsi2707 I think paradiddlediddles are gonna be the easy part of those all state etudes lol

[@scsi2707]

Tyler Dunphy I had practiced so much out of it because we played it on 8th notes at 120 bpm

[@espowari]

After only seeing the 'fit' version of you, the Marine's really got you in shape!

[@Danny-sy7bg]

Brian Esposito He’s also wearing a shirt that fits which helps

[@kitkatkid1976]

Yeah I watched the stick tricks video from several years ago and man he looks better now

[@oatmeal636]

You're like the Stevie T of marching percussion.

[@MajesticDemonLord]

What if.... EMC, Stevie T and Davie all did a collab?

As a trombone player my favorite rudiment is the parawippledoodydiddydumbarooniealabamasistersdiddydomberonie

[@aviatr9542]

Really awesome stuff. Glad they let you turn this into [DECLASSIFIED] status for our viewing pleasure! Those prepared solos they had you learn were pretty badass.

[@MartyTheCarGuy]

Thank you for all that you do EMC, love the videos and hope you are doing well

[@MobilMobil-kv5ke]

I love how you cut to the reaction on every tick and look into the camera for that fraction of a second. You rock! Nothing but honesty in this video.

[@flarfatron2190]

Who else’s favorite rudiment is the double-triple-cheesy-Alabama-cheesy-steak-flamabangadutdut-DUT-flammamamamamamamama?

😘 Had a great time at DCI Finals 2022, talking to MGySgt Rulapaugh (with others) about this audition. Good Times! 😘

[@tbildz]

Great video. I admire your guts to put something like this out here. Not perfect throughout but great playing. Nice work, man.

[@USMC-1911]

I was showing my grandsons a couple of your videos marching and I told them that's what you want to do if you want to be a Marine . Oh ya happy birthday 244 .

[@sammyidobelieveiammy]

I liked the annotations throughout this video! The little white text blurbs throughout were pretty helpful

[@jaydavidson4592]

Those looks at the camera when a tic happens😂🤣ur frickin hilarious dude

[@brendanteamsters]

Hey Marine, thank you for your service Brother. Continue to sound the war drum. Also, here’s a belated birthday shout out to the Corps.

[@EdwinMarquezredwings]

You are very deserving of being in the Marine Corps Band! Semper Fi!

[@jacky_b_0363]

The first eight bars of the triplet roll excercise you play on the snare drum is the same as an excercise my drumline used to play called super stock rolls

[@DrCliffswezey]

Hey man - fantastic playing! Please post a video that includes all the conversation with the judges!

[@erbmiller]

Happy birthday devil dog! Keep laying down sweet beats

[@carolinehaf21]

Always great to put audition stuff out there and encourage others to keep auditioning and practicing. Not enough real instruments in this world!

[@tylersardinas6160]

Favorite rudiment is GameCube’s Bass Drummers Stand Uppp!!!

[@rogerjones6033]

Eric, I appreciate your service! I'm a singing praise drummer at our church and our Pastor's son is in the Marines and finished in the top 3 of his class and is now an IT expert with a Top Secret (sorry, not the drum corp) clearance protecting our US networks in Israel...hoorah! BTW I never got chance to play quads in HS (single tenor with mallets in '74, snare with prismatic Pro-Mark 3S's from 1975-77 and only basic 26 NARD, ironically after my 1977 graduation they went "full corp" style in '78) but your solos were killer!!!

[@jacobhanekamp2534]

Okay, can I say that that shirt is absolutely amazing

[@kenpo_5422]

This man deadass already revealed it 420k 😂😂 good job bro

[@piercemybb]

GJ! You killed it!

[@FSCAlexander]

It was definitely a marijuana waiver. I've got one of those too, haha. Happy birthday, percussion devil.

[@jonathanbaker9150]

I marched in DCI with the XO of the Commadant's own. That was a great video

[@ThatGuy-ku3ii]

I saw you on TV at the Veterans Day Parade!

[@AndrewBeals]

What an oddly specific subscriber goal before your reveal.

[@dumbass886]

We are going to remember this 18:40

[@rymontgomery7546]

My favorite warm up my high school plays is our triplet rolls cycle because at the end we just play 11 straight bars of rolls

[@un-1-ted680]

My favorite rudiment is the parradiddle-diddle, specifically because it is very hard to play them fast, they sound amazing on different drums, and if you can do them well and fast, respect +.

[@inanedreamz673]

My favorite rudiment is ticking in rehearsal on the stuff I spent hours at home practicing

[@PapaHillis]

Happy birthday RAH brother Semper Fidelis

[@martharetallick204]

Another 10 November baby here. Happy mutual birthday, USMC!

[@allenwolfkill2781]

Semper Fi Corps Brother!

[@Iplayquad]

8:15 wow Ive never seen writen in ghosted notes in an audition solo, those were really good!

[@jalen2467]

My favorite rudiment? The one few shall ever master The single stroke roll

[@henrymartin9370]

Me: brags about getting straight A's Everyone else at the hepatitis clinic: 12:15

[@theredpillneo2296]

My fav warm up we do is called sixteenth note roles, which is easy m, but just fun to play

[@fxcast4057]

This was awesome

[@nikmarshall2989]

Favorite (most fun) rudiments are "bouncing sextuplets" like RLLRRL/LRRLLR. Easy way to push interesting sextuplet or triplet fills at faster tempos. Really good video. You're a ridiculously great musician/performer to watch.

[@stevenhatcher9133]

Yea those slurred six stroke rolls are fun. Sound great in USM's Pride Jam

[@petegregory517]

Very interesting. Often wondered what was involved. We had a guy from our platoon going to band (orchestra?) for (as I recall, been 54 yrs) trombone but I do recall his name, Bavona, 6'2 or 3+" about 230 lbs, big SOB. Our senior about had heart failure. He was the only one out of the series to make it. He said he was shocked to get the call because he bonked several things, brutal tryout.

[@gavinbillington4458]

For the record my favorite rudiment is without a question the pataflafla!!! It’s fun to say, it’s fun to play, and when you tell other people you’re playing pataflaflas you get the best looks even from other drummers just because of how weird it sounds

[@paytonhuffman1406]

Hey, Eric! I wasn't sure if you had already made a video about this so I figured I would ask anyway. Could you possibly make a video breaking down some exercises that benefitted you in your tenor playing? Thank you!

[@resipsaloquitur13]

I've always been a fan of the inverted flam tap. Or maybe the egg beater.

[@FE1Marv]

Who the fuck cares if your first just enjoy this man... very talented man

[@AJGray-vn2jd]

I was wondering if you could make a sheet music pdf for your personal solo?? Its very impressive and I'd love to see it in writing

[@Josephbentley]

Who else has the libertybell rung?

[@sesameseedsproductions5731]

It’s the notification bell Also first😀

[@aidand918]

Jacobeson 4 lame

[@braddywakler8601]

Jacobeson 4 it’s the liberty bell

[@belcarra]

Nope! And never will 🙂

[@ethanmbrown]

My rudiment is the flambuzzadiddle swiss-dragachudda inverted cheesy tap

[@ryandunklee634]

Make sure it’s extra cheesy

[@timpinneri5496]

DUDE U ROCK

[@awildjared1396]

EMC literally looked like he had a full time office job in the audition not gonna lie.

[@xenophagia]

Yeah, my favorite rudiment is Meshuggah's "Bleed" too.

[@PorterWonacottPercussion]

My favorite warmup exercise is the triplet flam grid.

[@rymontgomery7546]

My fav rudiment is the paradiddlediddle but honestly you can’t ever go wrong with pugedas.

[@CalebDaThing]

Cheese chain (its a hybrid for those who don't know) for rudiment and chicken-and-a-roll for excercise (bass split is epic for 3)

[@C5drummer]

How long are you allowed to STAY in The Commandant's Own? Indefinitely??

[@the_real_deutschland7667]

My favorite warm up is measure 45 beyond in the music piece, The Tempest by Robert W. Smith.

[@georgeb6320]

Love your channel! Ring the liberty bell

[@drumset09]

Favorite warm up: Irish Spring

[@kriskennon5537]

My boy Eric be looking like professor plum for his audition

[@blaine8197]

Double beat is my fav no doubt

[@timothychism5690]

Favorite rudiment is a diddle-egg-5, also double paradiddles.

[@DeathwishPending]

My favorite rudiment is paradiddlediddles. But my favorite hybrid is between book reports and blue cheeses.

[@sbryan5133]

Man actually is the shredder

[@quincywinkler9078]

Book Reports are probably my favorite

[@DanLoFat]

well I think it was just the microphone used in the room on the camera that they had, because your first deep house of every grouping sounds like it was buzzed but you weren't playing at buzz I zoomed in and it was just as clean as the other hits, so so I'm guessing it was a distortion of their input of their audio that they used or the microphone type the head on the camera?

[@phenylmusic]

that snare was ringing like the liberty bell

[@PuffyOne1898]

good morning! FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

[@shadowstorm6237]

Does anyone know if you can get a copy of "total attrition" it sounds really cool and I want to take a fair have at it. Thanks in advance!

[@MCTAP]

Could we get a transcription of the solo that you did here? I'd love to play that it's amazing

[@classicalytrumpet9190]

Thank you all marines for your service. Pls share this with your other marines if you see this.

[@dominicmazenko9490]

My favorite to play was definitely "politically correct triplet rolls". Our 12/8 based tap accent was aweome too. I think we called it "12/8 tripple D". But above all i really enjoyed our tap accent. It was called "finish what ya started" and it sounded awesome.

[@Drummerboy_marc]

What is your preference: Single rim (my school calls them buckets) or Double rim (we call them bullets) snares?

[@HDtenor1]

Haha I see my boy gio on the end of the snare line

[@simonking5381]

Hey you used part of that 3 stick lick in that song Subtle with Atomous

[@ThereaalSP]

When are we getting the sheet music for street cred tho

[@jaydenalonso3284]

I likes the one where you hit the drum

[@caydencrawford4948]

Would you be able to release a copy of Street Cred for one Spock? I haven’t seen it in the downloads

[@AidanMmusic96]

Is the music for Total Attrition still available somewhere? Seems like fun!

At 9:17 giving me those Scooby Doo running sound effect vibes.

Eric: hits rim Eric: 👁👄👁

[@ethangawron1939]

serious question, what do you do for the marine crops other than the drum corps. like did you have to go through basic training and like all that jazz

[@ferretyluv]

Yes, they go through basic training just like everyone else.

[@samstrom7660]

Favorite rudiment? Herta!

[@ThatQuadDrummer]
