Looks like I got the pitches wrong. Oh well. Drum go boom, woodblock go click.
true
Amen
Grow the beard!!!!!!!
as someone that has relatively good relative pitch, the xylophone comparison was near painful to watch 😣
This just shows that you record without faking it! So nice to see the thought process as you create these videos. It's easy to criticize after the fact. I don't have perfect pitch, wish I did. I was always amazed when in choir that some of my fellow singers could sing the correct pitch by just looking at the sheet music. I was terrible then, and terrible now, singing harmony! 😣

krab krimson moment
So I actually had the opportunity to do foley (live sound effects) for a local production of SpongeBob SquarePants: The Musical. Among many other sounds I had to make live, I had to replicate the walking of Mr. Krabs. What I did (as I had no percussion experience) was grab a gock block and did gravity blasts with a mini-stick. Wasn’t 100% accurate to the original sound, but it was close enough.
Very interesting!
@@EMCproductions if you want the gravity blasts, Archspire - Drone Corpse Aviator.
You must.
Why does it seem like spongebob the musical is everywhere right now? 4 high schools in my mb competing region are doing it this year.
@@steezydan8543 broo their new album is gonna be fire
@@steezydan8543 that slow melodic bit in bleed the future though
the problem is that you didn't try using crab legs to play it. That would have by far been the most accurate.
SO TRUE!!!
*crunch*
You're not funny.
@@arbi9506 it’s not supposed to be funny. it’s a legitimate suggestion. using crab legs *_would_* be more accurate.
@@arbi9506
You really thought you did something
surprised you didn't just play it at half tempo and speed it up in post
omfg hi wtf are you doing here
@@fir-endflames I'm everywhere lol
found you
again
Furry cringe
Just divide the sixteenth note tempo by four to get quarter = 253.125
This is a Big Brain comment.
I know I was like uh tf lmao
You can't divide it by 4 because one "beat" is 3/4 of a quarter note
Advanced math
Y'all better not be mathing around in here
Please do this as a series.
I love people transcribing sounds.
I want more cartoon sounds.
*M'whomp*
TICKLE SOUND EFFECT 😭

@@snailsaredumb9412 M’whomp
@@TenkuuNoKishi SUMOAWOAH
Someone needs to make, like, thrash metal, with Mr Krabs’s walk sound effect as the percussion line
😂😂 right, I’d love to hear it.
It kinda sounds like the intro to From the cradle to the grave by havok
Sounds like it fits more in the Death Metal category. Thrash is more skank beaty.
mmm... jazz fusion
Somebody ask Gojira
Proof that the entirety of Spongebob is actually Free Form Jazz disguised as a cartoon, just as Patrick states it is
imagine hearing that sound at 11pm in the forest slowly getting louder
That's what happens when you steal the Krabby patty secret formula. Mr. Krabs hunts you down until he gets the formula back.
moral of the story: never drop a penny in the woods
The fact that a simple sound effect you rarely hear is so iconic says a lot about the sound design of the show
You hear it a lot though
Just imagine the creator just said “fuck it” and made it random just to have a sample
this phrase is so overused and stupid. it just means the sfx is always used, not at all about the quality of the sound design or something.
I'm a beginner drummer at the age of 56 and I've always loved the Flintstones running sound effect. It would be awesome to see that one figured out!
I had to look it up to know which one you're referring to (thought you meant the Scooby Doo/Charlie pee one). I would love to see that one!
I think it's D flat and G flat for the notes. Excellent work learning this highly important piece of percussion!
Coming from someone with perfect pitch, the original is a Db5 and Gb5 both about 10 cents sharp. The orange gock was a G natural so a half step off is close enough I guess ;) Great video
Do other people in your family have perfect pitch?
@@TeamTORG wow, uncalled for, lol
edit: oops, nm, i read your comment: “Do EITHER people in your family have perfect pitch?”
sorry.
What exactly is perfect pitch
Thank you so much for also pointing this out, I couldn't completely let it go the entire video.
Odd flex but okay 😂
I’m not sure of the exact pitches... but the correct rhythm is fourteen 32nd notes, in 7/16 time. (Note grouping: 4+4+6) 👌 The little timing hiccup was most likely created by the video editor’s slightly-off copying and pasting, not the musician.
This is quite the challenge 💪
he cut it a tad too early.
Picture editors tend to work exclusively at the resolution of video timecode in their NLEs, so they can only drop new clips in (audio or video) every 1/24th of a second for a 24fps project, or 1/30th of a second for a 30fps project, etc. in fact, I’m not entirely sure if it’s even possible to position clips with sub-frame timing in some video editing and animation software.
This technical limitation makes the sort of seamless looping that would be effortless in a digital audio workstation basically impossible, even if the picture editor can tell that it’s not correct yet, unless the music happens to be at a tempo whose beat grid corresponds with common timecode framerates. A lot of library music seems to be composed with this limitation in mind; many cues are programmed and recorded at tempos that share a common denominator with film and tv framerates to help the editor succeed at making clean splices when trimming or extending to fill the required duration of the cue.
Judging from the timbre and short decay time of the notes, the original sample sounds like a short rhythmic phrase played with a woodblock / temple block that was sped up with a simple varispeed effect, with looping accomplished by copying and pasting the retimed clip on the last frame in the NLE before the clip finished.
The editor might have made a mistake, but that "hicup" (probably) makes it sound so much more natural and interesting.
the pitches are actually a root and inverted 5th.
It's like golden brown in 13/4 which has 3+3+3+4. It's like a waltz with turns
I'm rhythmically illiterate, so this was VERY edumacational.
As someone who's familiar with music theory... This man is insane
@@barragethree5047 if only perfect pitch was easier to develop
@@javierfraire8741 I mean its physically impossible to develop perfect pitch if you arent 0 to like 6 years old. So if you arent that age, you lost your chance.
Me too. I was taught to play by imitating what I heard. That is, here’s the sheet music. Here’s a recording of someone playing it. Do it like the recording did. It worked very well for technique, but now I can neither improv, play by ear, or sight read to save my life.
@@javierfraire8741 you can still develop relative pitch tho
Can you transcribe the cartoon sound effect with the bongos when they start running in place?
Yes!
I was tasked to do that, and it led to a meltdown. what I do remember was that it was 4 separate pitches…
THE LEGEND HIMSELF
Here's what I interpreted from the cartoon running sound:
Bongos playing sixteenth notes at 180.2 in 4/4
||: F4 E4 C#5 C#5 E5 C#5 E4 E4 C#5 C#5 D C#5 E4 E4 C#5 C#5 :||
The first F4 could be a E4 for simplicity. The F4 and E4s are all one bongo, the C#5 is a different one, and the E5 and D5 are very similar to each other and may be the third bongo.
please i’m begging
Your lack of relative pitch makes me feel way better about my relative pitch abilities.
Seems like drummers lose relative pitch. All I can do is tell when something is out of tune. Don’t know whether it’s sharp or flat, I just know it sounds wrong.
@@ferretyluv started as a drummer, i would say my relative pitch has definitely improved since I played any other instrument. But it has also made my playing more rhythmic than melodic
That is weird yeah, I figure it helps if you come from a background playing pitched instruments. Not that drums aren't, they still need to be tuned to the song, it's just a skill you independently practice. Timbre is a different skill entirely, like ask a drummer to decompose a drum solo or drum rhythm they'll be able to pick out which drum was used. I could tell you when a certain member of the string family is playing, sometimes I can remember pitches of my open strings, but I cannot put a name to the woodwind, brass or percussion instrument I hear.
I would bet that EMCproductions is the first person to ever have actually played this. Because there’s no way the sound guy didn’t just speed up a drum loop to get it that space.
obviously the pitches don't exactly line up with the 12-tone system but the closest interval I hear when I listen to the Krabs walking sound is a tritone
Tritonic interval riff in a polyrhythm? Mr Krabs walks in Math Rock
That's exactly what I heard too, I've listened to both enough Spongebob and Math Rock to know the funkiness of the Krabs walk
It's a perfect 4th, Db and Gb (I have perfect pitch)
@@jameshancock1528 This is correct.
Sounds like a 4th to me
I have never once in my life thought to compose a sound effect made from percussion instruments. That is a really clever idea and it took me back to when I was a music major and we had to do ear training. I’m sure you know all about this but I thought that was kind of funny. It took me back to some of the fun times whenever we had to do the really really hard rhythms by ear.
This is so cool YOO
I always thought of it as eighth notes in a 7/4 loop going at about 190 or 200bpm…with like…a pickup note…idek but the beauty of music…yes we will call Mr Krabs’ legs music, is the many ways it can be interpreted. Again, this is so incredibly done and super cool
As someone with perfect pitch running in the family, listening to you figure out the pitches had me screaming.
i don't even have perfect pitch but GOD that hurt
@@ni1661 same. Basically sounded like he was playing random notes😭
Same, but well he's a great drummer so we can forgive him
I literally scrolled the comments looking for someone who would say this, glad I’m not the only one
SAME
I know you’ve already stated you got the pitches wrong, but for anyone curious: @ 5:04
From low to high: Db Eb F Gb Ab B D G
As for the two notes for the walk, it would be Db5 and Gb5, so the first and last notes on the woodblock set would have been perfect if they were up one octave.
Nothing but love here. You rock and so does your channel.
You could run FFT on the raw audio file to measure the base frequency components. The spectral form can ball park the pitches for yah. Oh and it sounds like two different mallet types in the original (one mallet per hand).
FFT! I aways love learning something new!
FFT is pretty bad at assigning a pitch to sharp, percussive transients for math reasons that I don't feel like explaining. The ol' ear is probably a better bet for fine tuning, although FFT would probably be able to get you within a whole step in this case.
@@tissuepaper9962 of course, the main reason not to use FFT is because Fourier was French
@@humanchalk2835 of course lmao
Lmfao FFT for what xD Spectrum view is the way to go if you literally need to look at something to tell you the pitches
I'm amazed that through all of the pitch madness you managed to stumble accidentally upon an octave variation of the 4th interval that it actually is.
Astounding.
CZcams's hilarious! A place where you discover there's a cartoon with a character that moves slow with feet going some ungodly RPM. The speed of which causes this ridiculous sound that a musician now gets to try and sort out!
You sound like you don't know Spongebob? Didn't know that was possible
@@geschnitztekiste4111 To know Spongebob requires you to have seen it as a kid, or to have kids that have it going. Neither is the case with me. I'm missing out apparently! IT'S EVERYWHERE!!! How long has this been going?
It started in 2000 I think, but the first three seasons are considered the best since they have a very charming, sometimes subtle humor. Newer seasons tend to be dumbed down somewhat. Somehow I thought that anyone who has CZcams account were familiar with it, which is of course nonsense. Sorry ^^'
@@geschnitztekiste4111 you're fine. A mission critical operations guy isn't going to have a cartoon as a very high priority. I loved watching this musician try to figure this out. Complicated!
@@johneastmond9092 Why not? I’m sure you’ll have people you work with that know it and love it. 🤷🏾 You may like it, who knows?
You just wasted the perfect oportunity to use the french "One Eternity Later" at 06:00
You should have put "3 Hours Later" somewhere, I was totally waiting for it 😅
Woah this is accurate wth
Bruh youre literally everywhere
It isn't, though.
1:07 Let's slow it down to a nice percentage
Very nice
The note range in the original sounds more like a perfect fourth to me. But i love all the effort you put in. I certainly could never play it myself no matter the pitch range.
15 sixteenth notes = 67.5 bpm
is exactly the same as
Quarter note equals 288 bpm.
(15 * 16/15)/4 = 288
Mr. Krabs walking is just Meshuggah's Bleed on Temple Blocks.
Totally unrelated percussion story:
My senior year, we only had 5 trombones. So we decided instead of a trombone suicide we would do a bass drum suicide. Ended in 3 broken noses and 5 missing teeth.
🗿
@@BoomBringer boom bringer? What are you doing on an EMC vid?
@@BoomBringer happy 10k
What is a trombone suicide??
Whaaat?
I never would've assumed that there's somewhat a complexity to how Mr. Krabs walks
The grindcore community thanks you for your acknowledgment of blastbeats :)
The tempo could just read "fast af boi"
“ I think using your ear to figure it out is the best way.” Truer words were never spoken.
To be honest, your closing "stick clap" (clicking the like button) was a pretty good imitation of Mr. Krabs. It would certainly do in a pinch.

So nice to see the increase in your Patreon people! it makes me so happy! 😘🥰
really glad to see you free and being able to do things your way :) keep it up
New favorite page !!! Since a while
Awesome!
Now grab a couple toilet plungers and transcribe Squidward’s walk.
The sound is definitely not made with plungers.
I don't know why, but my life feels more complete now. Thank you!
I loved this video! Watched every second. Thank you. Amazing job!!!
This was actually the first ever video i have seen and now I watch ur videos every day basically
I really like this idea of recreating cartoon sound effects. I wonder if there are others you could try?
The notes are a perfect 4th C#5 and an F#5
Correct, although the notes are kinda sharp like about 20 cents
Yep, definitely a perfect 4th
I dunno, maybe an obtuse triangle with a gm#
Hey thanks for existing and uploading more , this is one of the only channels I can even watch now a days
Thank you for this information.
as someone with perfect pitch, this slightly triggers me when you think the top block is an E, its a G
Yes literally
You don't need PP to know he was way off.
I didn't think it was even possible for a musician to get this so wrong
@@bacicinvatteneaca yanny laural type of thing, maybe theres some overtone that sounds right
4:45 well they aren't... In fact, thoes blocks are tuned in to C major scale (f is way out of tune) and what you played on xylophone is G# major.
If you listen these two notes (4:42 and 4:47) alternating, you can hear the difference.
I appreciate that level of dedication.
This is a great video! Thanks :)
Seeing this done is super cool. I feel this would be a cool way to challenge your ear when traditional ear training gets boring 😂 I also absolutely love notationing music so I feel this would be super cool to try. Good job!
Ah hell yeah nice beard Eric! Can’t wait to start growing mine back out
I don’t know why I watched this whole video, and I also don’t know why I enjoyed it so much! Good stuff EMC!
Yet again, another great video :)
It sounds like a perfect fifth between maybe a C and G (tuning of the original woodblocks might be a bit off) could be the play there
I heard a tritone between C and F#
It’s Db5 to Gb5, so a perfect fourth
@@kenanjabr1992
I think it's closer to D and G than to Db and Gb
Now go to a crowded area and play that when people walk nearby
Hey man just wanna say really awesome video!
I’m grateful for when he repeats mr crabs walk each time to show us also the comparison so we can notice it too
"A ram of 32nd notes extremely fast."
The floor here is made out of floor.
“Let’s slow this down to a nice percentage”
I see what you did there
Weirdly coincidental, I was JUST thinking about doing this today, both wondering how to make the sound (I'm trying to get into sound design), but also what the sequence of notes was. Thanks for doing it for me!
It,s just a cartoon.
You are amazing.
It's like knowing an airline pilot , he knows all the stuff and I just see colors and shapes.
I can play the triangle .
Love your work.
What are the odds of me finding you on here.. I was a student in the Pit with Skillz In 2012. We should have been able to go ACC's that year 😭
Good to see you have a CZcams that's doing well!
This is the percussionist's equivalent of that thing Stewie does with the Tuba.
This is my first time ever watching a video of yours due to CZcams recommendations and I'm surprised how entertaining it is! I guess I shouldn't be but I maybe expected a different humour than that (whatever that might be), but I'm loving it! :D
Watched this while studying, weirdly, it helped! Thank you!
8:07 I like how the lyrics of the song is "rrllrrllrrllrllrrllrrllrrllrrlrrllrrllrrllrrl"
Those aren't the lyrics... I hope it was a joke ..
4:11 play this part in 0.25x speed and you have a good beat going
The organized chaos of this video is on point 👌
This was amazing man lmfaooo
I can tell you're a true percussion player when you hit wood block, and hit marimba, two different notes, and inform us of your relative pitch issues xD
But your playing and dedication to the craft is wonderful
"slow it down to a nice percentage"
I see you. I see you
this is exactly the type of content you need to make more of
Good effort 😂 the scrape sticking had me going
3:10 “it’s so close to being NICE, so close” lol 😂☠️
I'd expect that the butt of the drumstick would be even closer to the original sound.
i know right
Currently struggling with music theory so this made me feel like I know it thank you
Love the shirt man
This man is out here doing God's work
Could you do a transcription video on the drum solo when the glass breaks in episode 7 of Squid Game? It's a great drum part, and there is no way I could make sense of it.
Y E S
The kind of legendary quality content I come here for
This video is so chaotic.
I love it.
Lol the dagagagagahagagahag sound and the way he walked in the beginning 😂😂😂😂
5:15 that’s a perfect fourth (about D and G)
I didn't know I needed this
You are a legend
4:06 Mr. Krabs kicked it into high-drive 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s probably easier to use the wood blocks as mallets and hit them against something at that speed hahaha
Also, keep that ear training going man! It’s never easy but at least you’re doing it!!
Hilarious. Also your exit song is awesome.
Jeez, I have pretty good relative pitch, and seeing you go through your xylophone and the blocks to match the pitches was one of the most aggravating and frustrating things I've seen in a long time.
