30 Weird Drumming Techniques That Actually Work 

The pp one caught me off guard but I always knew you were packin

My band teacher does #14 often. He demonstrates the correct technique to it well. He also does private lessons to demonstrate that without the drums. So nice of him!

ah yes, can’t wait to do number 14 at school

Just wanna point out that EMC had fuzzy cuffs on hand. Carry on

I tried the pp one, but i can only reach the spock drum....😔😔

Yeah I’m really surprised normal drumming technique works

Thanks Eric! I'll be using number 14 for my 8th grade percussion ensemble!

“30 weird ways to play” Number 1: normal

I actually did #4 for years until I finally got a real drum teacher to tell me I was holding my sticks wrong. Thanks Jeff!

So... My band doesnt march quads due to lack of members, but we do use one pair of quads at our games /gigs. One time our quad player last year forgot his sticks so he fully marched around our track using his shoes as sticks.

3:47 when the dna test comes back and you learn you are 50% australian

3:12 Very cursed image

I'm so glad to see our taxpayer money going toward such excellent work in the Marines these days. An interesting way to keep one's chops up!! And working hard while in the sh!ter!? Now, THAT'S dedication, Marine! Captain Butthole would be so proud if he knew!!

3:31 budget Ghostlight

This is the most amazing blend of military(specifically the corps) and music I have ever seen. Brilliant.

Honestly the most impressive ones where the front fingers, back fingers, and no thumb cause it still sounded SO CLEAN OMG just shows how much chops this man has

nobody: The kids at band camp:

imagine being an I&E judge and someone whips out number 14

He has officially lost it.

3:08 Made me spit my Pepsi 😂😂😂😂

3:47 when someone else gets the good stand:

it’s moments like #14 when I question how you’re a marine

First time EMC has ever hit a rim never before seen until now

2:55 LMAO THERES A TINY BUG CRAWLING AT THE BOTTOM 😀

Doing permutations on drums actually is really helpful with mallet instruments and it also gives a cool sound

My percussion teacher would be proud if i do number 14 on quads😂

5:17 Welcome to my Cavaliers audition

twosetviolin ehen someone touches the varnish on the violin: "SACRILEGIOUS" EMCproductions: *Plays drums with shoes*

Literally reminds me of the line in high school. They all seriously tried some variation of something here. Nice! Lol

Your drum playing is so satisfying to watch man.

#16: *plays* BD 2019: *SHOOK*

POV: you’re not at school because of a hurricane

This is hilarious. I want this much free time! Really impressive playing with all the limitations.

Not gonna lie, this basically described all of my drumming techniques when practicing.

I’ve seen quite a few of these as an elementary general teacher. You would probably not be surprised by the weird stuff kids do when they pick up a stick.

This video’s actual purpose was just so Mr. Carr could flex on us

I’m guilty of playing like the majority of those techniques when I’m alone and bored

#10 is just how band directors store the drumline between rehearsals. That’s not weird at all.

Uhhhhh... why do you own fluffy handcuffs..?

30 weird drumming techniques that may or may not work

I can't be watching this during class, super funny, very pogg

My instructor makes us practice with all back fingers all the time

Title: “30 Weird Drumming techniques that actually work” The first one: “Normally” Me Visible confusion*

I'm more curious if he was able to get out of the "no fingers" situation by himself lol

Eric just flexing on us casually

Those were some clean sweeps!

General walks by, pauses, long eye contact, keeps walking

You should do a video on what its like being in a drumeline, what to do to prepare for drumeline, and what to do to prepare for a musical carrier. Like this video so Eric can see please. Thanks!

Number 14 got my dying 😂

Nice cover of that 2005 Cadets quad feature!

# 11 Ivan Pacheco: "same lick... with the elbow"

This helps me with my PTSD knowing anything is possible

2:23 PAIN.

#29 The brain is slowly degrading, yet the brain is powerful enough to play as a whole band with one singular mind. (btw, the face is perfect)

love the subtle akira reference in #29.

great, now every time I watch Blue Devils 2017 tenor solo 2nd measure, it reminds me of 3:15

Imagine walking in on some of these

I can just imagine me going to the bathroom and as I walk in I see someone shitting on the toilet playing the snare drum

The little smile when he did the stick trick in cuffs is my favourite part.

When your mom says she won't buy you new drum heads until the ones you have now break

This man really said “normal” and killed me with talent

This guy could put all of these together and still play better than me

2:55 shoutout to my boi crawling across the floor

The peeper one had me laughing to hard. Reminded me of Austin Powers and Minnie Me silhouetted going over the plan.

I love how quickly this turned into a meme 😂

Good Morning Eric!

Who else in school watching this jajajajajaja loves your vids man

I really like your shirt in the video, and those drumming techniques are really cool

wow i've never been this early before. Love the vids, keep it up man!!!

2:38 this is what all percussionists wish they could do in marching band

Those are some nice Innovative gong mallets you got there

#4 is actually how I play snare and tenor, and everybody get on my ass about it, but that’s just how I do it

Ya know...I think his humor about 69 is a façade, or else this video would have been "69 Weird Drumming Techniques That Actually Work." He's funny enough to have made it worth it.

So my teacher passed by my phone and saw the peepee one he will never see me that same now thank you!!😂

Thats what I would call a versatile musician

That elbow technique though.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Can’t wait to impress my band friends at football games with number 14

Yes. This has been very informative and I feel I am a better player than when I was before.

14 is my favorite technique to use

Can you do more of these types of videos

Number 8 is actually called *SLAPP*

This guy really went to the marines for this.

Our drum teachers makes us do only back fingers if we don’t let the drumstick rebound

On #3, you should have done the awkward salute like the kid did when his crash cymbal failed and fell to the floor.

6:30 Yamaha rims

Those fuzzy handcuffs though 😂

The dizzy one though. That should be be possible to do those sweeps after that many spins

When EMC can play better than you without using fingers.

I tried number 14 at school and I lost my teaching license

clean beats has such a clean sound.

Oh, honey. They need to get you guys traveling and performing again.

I have been depressed and having some suicidal thoughts but you picked up my spirits

Best technique video I’ve ever seen!😂😂

thank you for your service

Lol the all fingers one is the one I used when I didn’t know how to play marching music

1:27 I got scared for a second

10,13,14, 17,21,23,25 were my favorites

Loved it at the end: "The struggle is real" Another EPIC video!

That elbow stick flip... Lol how did the auto captions get "wow"

You are actually fucking talented. For real. Playing all that ways is not for noobs.
