This should have been called, "I submitted homework and got the same amount of feedback and praise as i did when i was in school" 😂

my band teacher was presenting a drumline video for us and his autoplay went on to one of your videos. The instant you said good morning, he said shut up 😂

“Got a couple bass drum assignments and I wasn’t given a specific drum to play so I just played all the parts” Dedication = 10000000

when you complete the whole game and start replaying the beginning levels

3:42 - "almost like you are a 31 year old marine." _lol!_

I'm a middle school band director and think this is HYSTERICAL! Awesome job and great idea to hack assignments.

you can go to a college class. i used to go to csu with my ex. you can't get a degree or anything, but they don't take attendance in most state schools. its hilarious. you can get a full education for free, but have no degree.

Kinda sad to think that one school is still saving you that spot and not giving it to anyone else.

Swimmers shave their legs to reduce friction in the water... perhaps shaving your arms would crank things up to the next warp speed. Not a band director, but I’m not getting paid, so that’s all you get. Oh.... and good morning!

when you have like 18 missing assignments and you just realize now

Percussion educator here. 100/100 even with mistakes that you made, you never stopped playing. Also, you make my lunches better. Extra credit! 110/100.

they call that "smurfing"

eric: *sends his assignment to a band director even tho he doesn't go there* There is 1 impostor among us

After Covid is over, you could probably contact the school administrators or a different teacher to get permission to walk into a classroom (or join an online class during covid) as a student to mess with them.

You should be very proud that as a 31y.o. pro musician you can pass as a high school drumline student. (except for the following of all instructions)

Teacher: “YOURE NOT IN MY CLASS!” EMC: “haha drumsticks go brrrrrr”

E is the Man!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Love that I dated my, now wife, for near a year before finding out that she has a World Champion Drumcore International ring. You guys are crazy skilled and weird that it's not more celebrated. Thanks for the vid!!

this dude is actually making videos reacting to videos, he made.

Very frustrating that no one comented on the fancy ones.

"I got into a high school drum line at age 31, what an accomplishment" HSGAKAGAJAGAJ

I would almost feel bad for the directors that let him in because they were probably hoping to get some new kid who is great at drumming and then he never replies lol.

Every time he says "no comments" I felt it. Its kind of weird and cool seeing a much larger youtuber dealing with pleb problems too. those music directors don't know what they're missin'

Eric looks like the drummer version of Stevie T

HS Music Teacher here. I assigned the "play whatever you want and submit the video" assignment too. It's the first one for the year. The purpose has nothing to do with the playing, it's about making sure the kids know how to take video and upload it. You'd be amazed how many of these media-obsessed weekend-warrior twitch streamers will come in on monday and claim that uploading a video was too complicated. Gotta start by going over the basics (click the upload button...not that hard...) EDIT: And for the record (you said to call you out if you didn't follow the instructions)...you probably didn't do this assignment correctly if you just emailed them the video. That's exactly what I don't want my students to do.

It may be possible that many of the directors didn't respond because their school's email server is blocking external emails.

If I was a teacher Id show to my students and say “dont be like this man.” 😂

This is like where you get to really late in the game where you have all the good gear and you're super leveled and you get bored one day and go back to the starter area and you L A Y W A S T E

So YOU were that guy ny band directors were talking about in class. 😂😂😂😂

this Band Nerd has stolen my heart. play on my drumming weirdo, play on

The number of assignments that he didn't get feedback on is so disappointing.

You are the best high school percussionist I’ve ever seen. I cannot believe you are even a high schooler

4:45 that was my comment lol I made a video response on our Flipgrid too 😂

Amazing sight reading skills... except the reading of the instructions 😂

This reminds me of when I wanted to join my middle school percussion, and my band director denied my request every time and even told me to do a random word, that from his terms was a drumline, in front of the class in order to join. I could not do it because I had never heard of that drumline before and he made fun of me because of it, I had taken 3 years of percussion lessons prior to asking to join... I stuck to flute for the next 5 years and in high school played percussion whenever a student was not able to cover their part.

9:30 Is that school using "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" as their fight song?

That was too funny, especially when being called out, "You play like a 31 year old Marine." Love your talent, imagination, and execution.

the dude that commented on his video assignment used to be my battery tech at my school 😳

Honestly I felt proud and excited that you were offered a spot on the drumline

EMC please do a 2nd channel of teaching us to get better at rudiments and patterns

I’m not really a drummer so everything sounded absolutely perfect!

I love this so much; my wife, who teaches elementary school music, is both amused and afraid. :)

You could say “he doesn’t even go here” in any context and people would know your talking about school

i love how you have an actual metronome, i think we might but we never use it and the trumpets use a cowbell and a drum stick, and from what i see (i’m a baritone) percussion just uses the percussion director clicking his sticks together to keep time.

Next vid: submitting homework assignments for a school he does go to. Its just an old vid of him when he was twelve crying in front of a math sheet.

At least you got accepted to that one school’s battery!

Clicked fast as possible. Already knew this was gonna be a fire video 🔥

When Eric says to watch 31 seconds into the ad breaks, so you watch the entire 16 MINUTE AD given to you...

In regards to not following instructions, well, Marine's lead by example and are taught to improvise when necessary! Great job, Marine!

WERE YOU RUSHING OR WERE YOU DRAGGING????

On the Play What You Want sections, you should have performed their rival school's fight song. Evil.

Back in high school, I was in the front ensemble but the front ensemble and the battery would do their exercises together. While we were doing scales or something like that The people on snares and bass drums were doing the accent tap but instead of the flams it was just a regular accent it would move from one to e and so on. My senior year, I decided to challenge myself and see if I could get on one of the bases. My teacher said he thinks I would do better on cannon. Before the game started we would do track marching in my first time around it was difficult but, I ended up being able to do it. I have only heard of two other people with visual impairments marching while playing a drum. I’m pretty sure there are more people doing it now but the reason I was put on front ensemble first was because it would be more easier and reasonable for me.

7:30 As a Timpanist, I LOVED assignment 8. WHY JUST ONE? Play them all indeed!!!

It would have been funny to see you submit for my school assignment, although my band director would have easily caught on.

5:07 That was collab between the entire drumline to a 4 bar lick. Played it perfectly lmao😂😂😂

You did the instructions incorrectly!! (called out)

Thank You for your Service in the Marines. My late brother in law Tom was a Marine 3 Battalion, he served in Vietnam. Always respected him. He immigrated from Scotland and joined to later became an American citizen.

How are you sight-reading those? I mean, sure, for some of the rudiments, the scales, maybe one fightsong, but Jesus.

You're so entertaining and a wonderful drummer. Very fun to watch!

Hype for the while thing especially enjoyed skank tosses and all drums 🤣, claw, under leg flip, clean buzz rolls, and 4 mallet sticks in! ATL Drum Academy knew what was up!

Who’s more shocked that Eric has seen Mean Girls

You should do a reaction to marching show/drum solos and have people send in the shows/drum solos Like so he see’s

You did an awesome job! My brother is a professional drummer too and I always enjoy hearing him play. 👍

I saw the Marine Corps Band once in Coronado after my class graduation in March 2020. Some really great stuff.

You're a weird interesting guy. It's a hoot to watch your videos. Thank you for your service, Marine!

Am I the only one here who has no clue about the drums are any kind of music Info and still genuinely enjoy his content!

Hubby and I watched this video for the first time. We're a band family and loved your video! Thanks for sharing!

You put so much work in for so little reward... I'm gonna sub you deserve it man

I was a 31 year old Marine once. But that... was a long time ago

I'm the tenors for my highschool band and we have a cadence set called 'Kickbutt Cadences'. Because of how the guys played it I don't follow the music to the T but still basics. My drumline coach was looking at me because we added a couple little notes around the cadence

Man I wish you had done the other 32, this was so fun to watch!

Not a fail at all. I clicked based on the title thinking it would be hilarious, and I was not disappointed. Subbed!! Please do more!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You gotta make Assignment #11 into a full tenor solo! I'll pay for that!!

Honestly envy you for your skill and talent. Good stuff man keep it up!

I am so sorry that I missed this when it first came out! This was hilarious!

For one of your 60-second freestyles, you should have used the mega tenor set. You did the instructions incorrectly.

Really impressed with the instrument lockup kennel things...

I love this concept. I think next time you do this you should order a school show shirt from each school you're submitting for and wear it in the recording (or maybe have the submitting students donate one to you or something). I think that would clue in some of the band directors who were confused at what they were watching.

Please do this again!!! I loved it and would love to give you one of my assignments

Playing a tenor solo on marimba would be nice to watch I think.

I think if I asked my granddaughter, she would Like Assignment #17 the best, because she loves to hear "DUT" !!! 😁😂🤣🤣🤣

Dude I loved your claw in assignment 11! (There now hopefully you feel better about yourself)

Second play for 60 seconds solo was fire. I'm 37 and you made me miss playing tenors so bad. Hilarious video as well. Cheers.

Any time you can throw a “claw” in, especially in tenors has to equal extra credit!!!

mans kinda looks like dave from the penguins of madagascar movie

Good work on all of this, enjoyed it very much.

This is great, I love this idea. Please do more!

Your stick height on the snare parts were crazy high. Were there no dynamics noted? There. Instructor comments. You asked for it! Lol!

This is hilarious, though it needs more cow bell

You did a great job and I enjoyed the montages.

Thanks, Eric! Your videos always make me happy. So what do your coworkers think of your KZfaq side-gig?

Your transition music things make my subs crap their pants👍🏿🤘

I'm not a percussionist ( I'm a flutist) but DAMN that was some amazing sight reading

I will look out for you when you come to Yuma!! Great video LOL

The fact that there were no comments on that bass drum vid is criminal. Also, the freestyles were on point!! No RIIIIMS!!!! :) wonderful video buddy.

Thank you!

Here’s my 38 years of playing music comment. Too many drums needs more trombone. (FYI - I play the bass trombone) 😜😜😜

bruh, you're hilarious, this is that Good KZfaq Content(TM) I needed

Watching this video got me back on my drum kit thanks for the inspiration 🥁

I did the same thing, but with a clarinet
