YMMV / The 8-Bit Drummer

• Crosses the Line Twice: During a stream in mid-2019, a viewer donated and jokingly said, "Let's argue about anime. I wouldn't even hold hands with your waifu." Jerod's response was legendary.
  Jerod: (holds up his hand to reveal his wedding ring) Hey, Profound... At least my waifu is real! (starts shouting and randomly hitting drums and cymbals)
  • And then the chat started claiming his wife, Erika, wasn't real, so he phoned her so she could verify that she was, in fact, real. Someone in the chat kept the joke going even then:
    Jerod: "One hundred dollars says that's his mom", FRICK YOU! (Erika laughs uproariously over the phone) You'd better gift ten subs, fricker, all right?
• Discredited Meme: The originally harmless Running Gag about Jerod frequently making spelling mistakes eventually reached a point where people were bringing him into every scenario on Twitter where someone else did the same, even if he had nothing to do with it. It led to a minority of people using this to make insulting jokes about his intelligence, despite him actually having plenty of clever moments otherwise.
• Fan Nickname: Commonly refers to "Megalovania" as Megan, due to how often he plays it.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Even though his viewers hail from all over the world, he is notably popular in Japan. He has a nickname from them, "ドラマーニキ" ^Translation Drummer-Niki, a portmanteau of "Drummer" and "Aniki", which is a Japanese word meaning "Brother" as well as several long-time Japanese subscribers, an approved translator on Youtube who translates snippets of his streams into Japanese and in 2022, he also got invited to perform a drum cover for none other than Hololive.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • Jerod has commonly been referred to as a SiIvaGunner channel due to how often he plays those kinds of songs.
  • FlowHAA Garden, which became a hit on the channel due to the heavy usage of Wario, MetalKingBoo sound clips and even Jerod's own laughter, which he missed while listening to it at first. It even got an animated version the next month.
  • The amount of Sonic the Hedgehog songs he plays on cast. The first song he ever played live was a Sonic song, and he even has a counter that gets increased with every Sonic song he plays.
  • A trap remix of Sea Shanty 2 from Runescape became one when a user asked him to boost the bass while he was playing it. This resulted in such a massive bass explosion that a viewer reported it setting their workplace's fire alarm off.
• Signature Song: Is particularly associated with "Megalovania" from Undertale due to how often versions of it are requested in his streams. He currently has over 50 covers of different versions on Youtube.
