14 Types of Clarinet Players 

Hi guys! This is Justin Kim here! I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all the support you have been showing us! It's amazing to see this video (which we DID NOT expect to blow up this much) being seen by so many talented musicians and viewers (if you're not a musician, that's fine! We still love you for watching our videos!). Again, THANK YOU so much. We recently have been growing so much, a lot more than we expected, and it is ALL thanks to you guys. As a repayment, we are working on a PART TWO to this video (w/ a special guest...), so please keep an eye out for that! Again, thank you so much for all your support and being the awesome viewers that you guys are! P.S. I've also seen a lot of comments saying that this is like TwoSetViolin, with some of them being compliments and some of them being not-so-nice. We just want to remind everyone that as devoted Ling Ling Wannabes ourselves, we got permission from TwoSetViolin to make this video, which is shown at the end of the video AND in the description!

You forgot the kid who hates clarinet but is still somehow in wind symphony

As a clarinet player if you aren’t the reeder then you are lying to yourself :)

I actually got my clarinet from a Red Lobster Dumpster.

Where tf was the squeak for the beginner

Everyone is a reeder

This video really has me fearing that I’m the beginner who thinks they’re a professional

"I can't find a single good reed" I relate on a spiritual level Edit: Especially before an audition... ;))

“ I can’t find a single good reed “ Me when I have to audition

I'm so bad at clarinet, I can't even play like "the beginner that thinks they're a pro"

After 7 years, I've come to realize I hate playing clarinet. But I also love it? Clarinet is the instrument that makes your music career a fever dream

You forgot the one that takes out their instrument to practice but ends up on their phone for 2 hours (aka me lol)

Alright so we've got two violin youtubers, two clarinet youtubers. Now I just need to find two sax youtubers and ill have a duo for every instrument I play

I am personally the “too short for percussion and was forced to play clarinet then after growthspurt was told she was super good at drums but wont switch because emotionally attached to instrument.”

2:18 - I've never heard anyone make a clarinet sound like a soprano saxophone before now.

All clarinet players can aproove Also hot cross buns is fire 😣

Lol I am Mr. Circles 🤣

I love how every band thingy the others stare at us clarinet players as we soak our reeds. It just makes us seem different XD

Where is the ‘Squidward’ on this?

Me with literally every reed ever: 1:33

I’m the “Did both color guard and clarinet for marching band so now pretends his clarinet is a flag”

I only do the reed thing when I don't know the notes to a song, and pretend im doing something so my band teacher doesn't call me out. ✨

Forgot: Freshman prodigy "Oh clarinet is actually the X instrument I've played. I've actually played Y instruments before" People in band because they didn't want to take any other fine arts classes Guy never in tune (could go with beginner) Guy who leaves their clarinet standing on the bell Guy who learns anything BUT the music in class Guy that has always been good but is stuck just being good bc everyone else is on a different level higher or lower but can't compete with the higher but doesn't sink to the lower levels so they're stagnantly in the middle Guy with Clarinet in their username

You forgot #15: the sax player who had to learn clarinet for one tune and is scarred for life.

I’m a clarinet beginner, and at the start when you use the clarinet.. I KNEW YOU WERE PLAYING HOT CROSS BUNS! well that’s what we call it

I memorized Careless Whisper...as a clarinetist...maybe I've been the memer all along...

Squirdward inspired me to begin my clarinet career

***squidward has enter the chat***

we all have the one guy who won't stop moving in circles lol

I'm the first chair lol everyone just keeps telling the band teacher they they deserve the first chair and me being annoyed. I'm not trying to bag tho.

I'm technically a Bass Clarinet player but I'm definitely a Reeder

No idea how I found this channel but I love it

2setviolin, two cellos, and now 2 CLARINETS!

That first song is now FORBIDDEN in my band class, we’ve just played it too much.

I started out as a clarinet player but my band teacher convinced me to play bass and I love it!

I have a friend who's the "cheap instrument but is a god" one. She has this nasty, barely functional plastic clarinet, SHE USES RICO REEDS, and she's got the best tone of literally anyone I've ever heard

Wow, that is so relatable😄 Also I love how Nicolas Baldeyrou portrayed the clarinet god (he definitely is)

Im the guy who won’t stop dancing 🤣 like ._. “sorry my ADHD ass is like that sir” oh lord i can’t wait to hear the meme songs next year in band

Why am I watching this I play the violin (also any twoset fans here?)

Most of these are very accurate XD

3:53 It took me YEARS to break that habit, I swear to god...

As a fellow clarinet player, I understand this, and I found this hilarious.

I used to be the one who couldn’t place their mouth in the correct spot and always played a squeaky loud noise. Good thing I’m better now lol

3:11 damn my boy CHEEKED UP

As someone who doesn’t play clarinet I personally cannot relate to any of these

TwoSetViolin, 2Cellos, 2SAXY and DoubleClarinet. I love this duo theme in the music community! Also, I’ve recently begun to play clarinet and I’m reassured to know that everyone’s a reeder. I thought I was just really picky 😅

*there was a freshman last year that managed to get MOLD on all of his reeds. super nasty*

I love this!! I am litterally new to the channel, and I am also learning the clarinet, for middle school and it is so fun!!! Its really nice to be honest.

Then there's me who can't even remember the 5 basic scales without forgetting how the english alphabet works

Me being in 8th grade kinda being like “the professional” 👁👄👁 also I’m pretty sure everybody is a reeder 😂

I feel like it's obligatory to be Mr Circles when playing the Victorian Kitchen Garden suite though to be honest 😂

I get that I'm the most basic clarinetist, but literally everything you played is basically my repertoire. Great video!

Before getting to the end, I knew I was gonna comment that it was like if TwoSet played clarinet! So awesome that you informed them you were making a video, as a clarinet player, I heart this!

I've played clarinet for like 5-6 years total. Then I dropped it like 6-7 years ago. This video has me considering getting back into it!

The last one is literally my whole band like no one ever stops when the director tells them to

Then there's the kid who calls you squidward, never shuts up, constantly harasses you, but still calls you their friend

2:50 now I wanna play clarinet (sounds to beautiful)

I’ve been playing clarinet for years now seeing this is glorious

I don’t stop when the conductor tells me because its either I’m in the zone or i wanna finish what i was playing because I’m a protectionist lol

I play the flute, but yet still somehow relate to this

My friend and I were the ones that boogied while we were playing (except during performances) It was epic. Good video.

0:08 Literally the song I played in band like yesterday

The clarinet conductor almost made me snort out my coffee

The dancer is Martin Frost

Us clarinets are on a whole other level. We don’t play the clarinet. we ARE the clarinet.

I'm a clarinet player myself, and I love this video! Keep up the good work!

Hot cross buns was my beginner song when I was learning to play recorder! Amazing job on this vid!!

Literally hilarious. I’ve had the same clarinet for almost 20 years (WOW I’m old) & so is my clarinet. The old girl will barely switch between B & C for me.

I'm a clairnet player and this is deep

i am probably the guy who always blames the reeds.

the guy who won't stop dancing.... guilty as charged

They all apply to the cute dude without glasses

You are so underated!

I have played viola for 15 years and am an avid follower two set violin. Now I want to learn clarinet and am so glad I found your channel!! I can't wait to begin.

i’ve seen someone buy a “yamaer” clarinet thinking it was a yamaha😭😭😭

yeah I'm the memer

SQUIDWARD: Oh hoo I am going to enjoy This! 😎

Wish your channel grows well !

Never stopping with the conductor is exactly what my band does when we are rehearsing songs or just practicing 😂

The reed is classic. I didn’t have much selection as a student and I’m sure mouthpieces are also a factor.

im a reeder, i can never find a good reed to play on and all of them are just too airy (everyone else in my band ,not just clarinets, are the kids who dont stop with the conductor especially the trumpets)

You guys are great, now I'm nostalgic for the times when I went to music school. Those who are not clarinetists will ever understand how cool these jokes are!!!!!!!!!

Me a bass clarinet: sips tea aggressively because i distinctly remember each and every single one of these clarinetists from my beginner class

All of these also apply to saxophone. The Reeder one might be even more accurate

Me being right hand on top clarinet player: 0-0

Clarinet is like the best wind instrument ngl

You forgot that one kid who never learnt how to hold it

I am definitely a reeder

I'm a Reeder and a beginner

Me having never played clarinet: haha..funny...relatable...lol

I like so much your performance, is amzing!

My whole section belongs to the memer category and it's glorious

Hey I am thinking of picking up a clarinet but before i do i want to ask Is it worth the money?

“I can’t find a single good reed” Me ALWAYS breaking reeds and can’t find reeds that I can’t break... pretty relatable

imma reeder, choosing between my five chipped/legit broken ones and finally getting a new one and thinking "woah this is a ton better"

I’m neither good nor bad at playing clarinet, yet I still somehow got into the advanced band at my school.

Thanks for Nicolas the boss :D We've probably seen all of these playing somewhere! XD

I'm "The guy with the cheap instrument, but is actually a god."

I'm planning to start clarinet this summer and this is video pops up

As a clarinet player and a band student, i can confirm all of these are true
