Reviewing the BEST Auditions of 2019

[@Squ3aky]

Im so glad i made it in the top 3! I'm only a sophomore in high school so I have a lot to improve on but I had a blast doing this. Great job to everyone who submitted a video especially the 2 who out placed me!

[@bpm6593]

Bro keep it up you're awesome 💪👊

[@JamesThatcher]

HOLY CRAP, you're a high school sophomore??? OK - you have a future ahead of you my dude.... seriously, EMC can we like get this guy hooked up with some WGI squads?

[@bendilzer1283]

damn straight. I'm proud to play drums with you my friend. Can't wait to see whats next

[@johnkizer4038]

MY HOMIE NICO, YOU ARE KILLING IT DUDE

[@corporaldestroyer2811]

I’m also a sophomore but I’m nowhere near as good as you!

[@KyleTheCadet]

This was so fun to make! Thank you Eric!

[@Squ3aky]

That was some killer timpani playing man, you deserved first place!

[@turbo5457]

yeah dude your timpani playing was frickin epic, nice job.

[@scsi2707]

I never actually have tried pedaling before and I figured out how hard it is by trying it. My bd look at me confused.

[@fearlessonsnare5834]

You are actually sooo good, you inspire me!

[@KyleTheCadet]

@@scsi2707 It takes practice knowing your pedal positions! Each drum is always different. It's like Trombone slide positions.

Thanks for the compliment on the boomwhacker ensemble. My highschool doesn't have a boomwhacker ensemble but we just threw that together in a class period. Lol. Thanks for the mention.

That was so much fun to make and i really enjoyed watching your reaction 😄 Glad to have made it to #2, the competition was really tough!

[@dervoss3841]

Dortmund drums had a poster saying "inhalte überwinden", which means "overcome/leave behind contents". Very fitting for this dadaesque performance

[@loganfournier9130]

How come the music stand audition tape didn’t make it

[@harrisonglazer9762]

I don’t know it was so good.

[@trevorwallace3266]

Eric respond to this comment we are very upset

[@rouxsauced]

Dude he nailed it

[@jackieg6754]

I thought we were gon be in bro that's not ok bro

[@EMCproductions]

Could've been one or more of the following: 1- it had less than 18 likes and didn't make the top 10 2- You didn't send me an email with the link 3- I messed up somehow and didn't put it in the spreadsheet

[@masonsickler2878]

Man I wish our high school focused on marching at all. We did the same halftime show all season, and the percussion section was basically left to teach themselves

[@diamondh4mr458]

Hey Eric! Percussinate went to my high school! His name is Michael Atoyebi! He's a great percussionist and is currently attending OSU, I'll try and tell him you called him one of the best!

[@SerLevi]

Ohio State, Oklahoma State or Oregon State?

[@Lukegmorris]

He has a Ahead marching drum pad

[@screaminserpent2170]

I think it is hilarious that the guy that keeps winning goes to Penn State. Like i've literally had music camp in there and used all of the same percussion stuff!

[@Jrez]

I didn't know I could audition in Ableton.

[@tdpercussion]

"world class WGI show " @9:20 Yeah... cause Rhythm X 2013 had that last piece for the entire show maybe (probably not the same writing) but I saw it live and immediately reminded me of that experience!

[@conradrodriguez9859]

Gameboy3000 is one of our snares in the weslaco panther corps (im pretty sure) and he played a peice of our 2019 marching show "Acension" (2nd movement) it was a great year for us as we got grandchampion at the marching festival (as seen on his shirt) and he's a great snare😁

[@carolinehaf21]

"The horse taco" are a combination of words I never knew I needed in my life.

[@kisterdrums]

That stranger things show was awesome, I love that muse song lol

[@TweakCity]

I thought 106 likes was amazing because of the pedaling control wow!!!

[@loganfrandsen]

It was super fun to do something stupid for thousands of people to see😂 (I was the trumpet player who played the SpongeBob music)

[@zacharydaniel6971]

10:00 it’s the Ahead S-hoop Marching snare pad. I do not recommend it because I bought one and surface is already cracking. I’ve only had it for 5 months too. The whole pad is really heavy too.

[@pin3appleroblox]

Are you using wooden or nylon tipped sticks? Wooden sticks cause carbon fiber heads to break very quickly

[@ethanbrown6352]

"Any instrument" The first guy: pulls out the entire kindergarten collection

[@DadpoolsDiary]

Dang...Almost made it. Not bad considering I was late to submit!!

[@hemiprice4016]

It was awesome KTC, but toilet paper guy gets my vote. Musically dang tho all those notes on timpani? Damn!

[@lifeontheledgerlines8394]

2:40 Wtf those chimes are so nice Why does my school have to give us no funding

[@rewq7772]

The Jazz II Program at my school gets 50 dollars, the whole year. Nothing more. That takes 1/20th of the ensemble to a single festival. Our Marching Band which has won High Perc and Music 3 years in a row in our circuit, guess what, totally self funded by the director and the kids. I love Marching Band, but it still seems far too underappreciated by most schools.

[@lifeontheledgerlines8394]

@@rewq7772 Omg that's really bad. But my school doesn't even do marching competitions because we're so broke. And all of our percussion stuff is either really old or broken in some way, except the marimba. I joined the music funding club because I just hope that we can make this crap a thing of the past. Well, good on you guys for all of your initiative! Have a lovely day and I wish you the best in the reat of your band-related endeavors

[@goaliejoe5923]

5:10 sounds like duel of the fates

A whirlie line

[@blatantpotato1367]

I actually really enjoyed Percussionate's video, although with only 20 likes I believe it was the best.

The pad that u were asking for is and "AHEAD" pad

@emcproductions does it count if it a whole field band show

[@robertsimon841]

Good morning! Could you do a video talking about your intro video

Oh shoot I was thinking this was worst auditions for a moment and I was like: These auditions aren’t horrible at all! They’re fantastic!

[@natetheslugger2730]

9:51 that’s the ahead snare pad

[@orangeflipflop485]

i forgot to submit my entry i also forgot to make an entry lmao

[@sum350zdude6]

The pad the guy used was an AHEAD S Hoop marching snare pad

[@morganh.265]

lol the muse score one is the chino hills 19 drum feature

[@Squ3aky]

Yes it includes parts from chino hills 2019 show and others like cavaliers 2015, and shows that i have performed myself. I wanted the drum feature to be a sort of tribute to shows i enjoy but maybe i used too much of chino hills music xD(what can i say, the musics really freaking good!) ill look into making that a little more unique in the future to make my intentions of it being a tribute more clear. Non the less i hope you still enjoyed the show.

[@morganh.265]

Squ3aky ahh my bad fam thought u were just straight up copying that’s my fault

[@funnyzombiekiller6678]

You should make a video going over drum rudiments.
