After two weeks of drum corps, I now realize why EMC says good morning. EVERYONE uses it as a greeting no matter what time of day

other bass erics: *[playing normally]* bass 5 eric: *s h a k e s v i o l e n t l y*

Can we all just say it was nice to finally hear it played clean once

EMC: explains intro/background cadences *EVERYONE LIKED THAT*

My high school drumline plays false hype. We call it Whirrly Durly.

The snare part for White Boy Smooth has me entranced and I don’t know why...

I went to a high school that competed against Toms River East. When you played the cadence at the end it brought back many memories of band competitions as they would always march onto the field to that cadence!

Got to love when you come from the high school that inspired the White Boy Smooth Bass Part and featured in the video being one of the two bass clarinet players

That quint part is from a popular breakdance song called “Looking for the perfect beat .”

As a string and brass player, I just got onto this channel yesterday (5/23/2022), and DCI as a whole only a year or so ago (2021). Of course, I've been aware of drum and bugle corps for decades (I'm 60 as of this writing), but I had never heard of DCI until last year. Enough about that already. O, had I known about DCI back in the day (1980, although at best I could have only done DCA)...! Already, I had billed myself as "The World's Loudest Marching Horn in F." So that was the extent of my knowledge of marching, as I was an orchestra guy throughout high school. Then last night happened. As a string and brass player who just discovered this channel, I learned the following things: 1) I always thought it was from not playing together that caused some of the "double hits." Wrong. The routines are actually written that way! 2) Even though I am a decent sight-reader on my own instruments, I CANNOT KEEP UP WITH THE BARRAGE OF NOTES THAT CORPS-STYLE PERCUSSIONISTS PLAY! YIKES, that's fast! (although this video is much easier for me to follow than so many others). 3) My Snare-Drum Techniques course in university certainly got my foot into the door, I am SO far behind the curve on things that properly-trained percussionists routinely know as part of their vocabulary, nomenclature, and technique. OK, I am WAY behind the curve! (At least I now know what a "spock" is, outside of the Star Trek character!) 4) This channel is giving me SO MUCH perspective and invaluable knowledge of a discipline -- a culture, actually -- that is making me a better person. 5) I am smarter for watching these videos. 6) I am inspired by watching these videos. 7) I may start refreshing myself on that $300 drum kit I purchased for teaching very rudimentary drumset to kids (trust me, just to get them started!). After all, since I took "Snare Drum Techniques" class in university, that made me the de facto "drum teacher" for those kids (gulp!). 8) Subscribing now! Thanks, Eric, for doing these videos for us mere mortals -- or at least ignorant ones like me!

That cymbal part snapped more than I thought it would

“White Boy Smooth” is an accurate representation of HSE

13:38 sounds neat my brain: Tikki Tikki Tembo-no Sa Rembo-chari Bari Ruchi-pip Peri Pembo

My favorite part of White Boy Smooth is the cymbal visual. You put them up, then you take them away. Simple and effective. Kinda like when I was dating in high school.

I've always liked these!! It's usually stuck in my head for a while after a watch one of your videos lol. (But in a good way)

for the blue devils, they did this groove called malfred, and i believe that’s where you got that groove from.

8:12 17:09 You’re welcome

8:11 False Hype 17:09 White Boy Smooth

15:10 a bug flew on your shirt and crawled around I'm dead lol

Toms river east still has that cadence today, norths cadence is waaaay different😂

1. I liked this video. Cool beats. 2. My biggest pet peeve: traditional grip on a flat, centered snare! One day marching snares will move into the carrier age and stop the silliness!

I like how the basses are different heights.

White Boy Smooth is the Gone With the Wind of beats.

When I’ve been watching so many of your videos I write a cadence with “white boy smooth” as the main theme

I went to one of the Toms River schools and I knew that these cadences sounded familiar... I think Toms River North now uses a similar cadence to what East used to play.

just a fair warning: anyone who wants to learn false hype and play it, get sticks separate for the cadence. it has so many gocks i lost count of how many there are. i recommend white ralph hardimon sticks with any color electrical tape. the reason why you need this is because all the gocks can destroy any regular pair of sticks. at my high school, we use ike jackson sticks and mine get destroyed along with the tape on them everytime i play it, so i moved to white ralph hardimons and they have yet to be destroyed after playing the cadence about 5 times (by the way i play snare if you couldn’t tell). so unless you’re very good at doing very easy gocks while still making it loud, you should use the white ralph hardimons.

Because of you my high school plays both of these since last year

He's such a good instructor he scrambles my brain sometimes I try to think about it and I have to go back to being a kid again when anything was possible I still play but at 68 years old much tougher

YO! Our drumline learned these two this year and we love them both!!!!

I’ve always wondered about the cadences in the background. Great video!

As a bass 2, I feel all the power in the world when I tap off for white boy smooth.

FINALLY!!!! Lol . I've been waiting for this one! 💪 Keep up the great work!

Watching this at 2x playback speed is even more AMAZING than normal!

I love seeing cadence break downs, please keep doing these, also i would like to see you make a cadence that what ever you put down the first time, you cannot change it, at all

I’ve been waiting for this video for over a year. THANK YOU!!!

This is the video I’ve been wanting. I play Bass 2 and thought White Boy Smooth sounded amazing.

I go to Del Val and we used to use the White boy cadence from you! apparently you knew our band director in the past!

Finally, the video I've been for ever since I found this channel.

Your full ensemble shots are amazing! Subbed!

I thought of another variant of "white boy smooth" for 2 bass. It could go, "2 2, 2 1 1, 1, 1. 2 2, 2 1 1, 111."

This is really cool man! Great job!!

If it makes you feel any better my freshman or sophomore year of HS the line came up with a hype cadence. During the prototype phases we called it Junkie Chain. The band director was fairly new so he asked us to change the name. It's now called Hoo-ray, since it started with an audience chant. The best cadences have the most unusual of names.

Always love your work, I wish you got more credit.

This channel has come full circle

Finally what ive been waiting for😍 I legit wanna do that "white boy" cadence u have there 😂 gotta go tell ma boiz

Aww yes! Love these cadences!

My 5th period is band I play snare we play this video and play along with you on both cadences to warm up

13:26 sounds like “up on the house top click click click” if you here it I’ll know the rest

Cool cadences Eric. I love the explanation for White Boy Smooth.

I’m currently learning marching snare (gonna switch to it next year) and I’ve been practicing a lot, so this is nice to have some material to lean and hopefully convince whatever drum line I end up on to play!

You say ..." easy" ... I say .woe .amazing

The split snare part is bar 2. For snare 2 the part starts on beat 3 of bar 2 with it being RLLR LLRL with shots being on the last two R hands.

I am definitely going to be showing this to my band director because we desperately need new cadences we only have 2 and we've been using them since the 90's

thank you for sheet music

You should do double beat 9000

No one: Me: Gets an ad for the KZfaqr I, about to watch

YES THANK YOU ERIC

17:15 these symbols out here breaking the laws of physics

Yeah I live right down the road from Toms River I go to memorial in Jackson

and now the part where I realize my director is just teaching us white boy smooth for drumline

thank you very much bro :3

The "false hype" thing was also true for UD

those rope drums in the background 🤤

going to the high school that false hype was written for, i can confirm that the football team statement is still true oh, and yeah we still play it

I love youre videos 🥰🥰🥰

Great video, Eric lmao 💯❤️

i was waiting

About time lol

I just learned this yesterday and we get to play it on friday for a football game.

15:11 is it just me or is there a bug or something crawling on his stomach.

Ayeee BOA

False hype still constantly gets stuck in my head😂😅

Great job on the video! Keep up the good work... do you like traditional sticking or regular better? I can only play traditional haha

I was going to buy the shirt anyhow, but the slide whistle sealed the deal.

Wow I'm in clayton. Right under pitman. Was in rhs marching arms in like 01 to 03

Works perfectly for parkway south high as well

love it

Is it just me or does this man look like Steve Tereberry

Our percussion group are going to midwest in Chicago

I would love a video on Oosh Ka Boosh cadence!

Is that first video clip of the kids playing false hype at hershey stadium PA????

I’m going to tell my drum line instructor about these

When were you at UDel? My stepson was a student there until a couple of years ago.

13:40 ‘‘tis the season to be jolly

In WBS is "own neighbors" supposed to be a vocal in between the stick clicks or?..

For me being a section leader in the drumline at my high school I'm glad to hear a Clean Version of (W.B.S) aka White Boy Smooth

Are you gonna be at the sunset parade? Im going this year, if ya go hope ya enjoy it

Bom dia!!!! Gosto muito do trabalho de vcs... I Brasil

ขอบคุณครับ

Just realized you’re from south jersey. Cool.

I really like this video ,, and , cadence snare around 9:10 sounds hella much like running with Bel Biv Devoe's poison *cop emoji *written citation emoji *calling for back up emoji " I felt threatend by his marching toms technique , help. "

What state are you in? Cause when u said deptford, that reminded me of my states school called by the same name

Good morning. My high school's next sequence...

wait... my mind is blown... you wrote my school’s cadence?? our basses play something really similar to white boy smooth except we call it horsey bass

What the snare split like what is the part for it?

My marching band might have 2 basses next year lol we had 1 snare last year

what do you use to make the cadences?

Hi emc can you please write the second snares part in measure seven in false hype I’m a visual learner when it comes to music

How did you edit this so you are in the video on all the instruments at the same time????

This season we have only two snared and three basses, and I just wish someone could write a cadence to replace the one with a tenor drum solo.
