Flight of the Bumble-Bee for two Double Basses 

After all those "Fastest Violinist" videos I didn't know this piece even had a distinct *tune*

I’ve never heard such a high pitched sound come from a double bass

i honestly just think that it’s so cute that he went to change his outfit to do the second part

The end pizzicato was incredibly unexpected by everyone because it was so beautiful and it was so high pitched for a double bass

Is it bad that it took me until the last few seconds to realise that they weren't different people?

THIS IS NOT SACRILEGIOUS! THANK GOODNESS.

2013: the fastest violinist plays flight of the bumblebee! 2016:two double bassist play flight of the bumblebee! 2022: An opera singer sings flight of the bumblebee!

This is a good example of someone who practices 40 hours a day

Oh dang, I didn't know TwoSetViolin's grandparents were here.... THAT'S AWESOME!!!

Red as a rose White as a lily If you can play it slowly You can play it quickly

you know, ever since I first saw this video about 5 years ago, I have been coming back to it every few months. It blows me away each time. You are truly a master of your art

Those harmonics at the enddddd!!!! I'm screaming, so good!

Guy: "omg the double bass is so boring!!!" Lev Weksler: "Hold my beer"

When she asks, "what dat hand do?"

2Cellos, TwoSetViolin, and now this. String section's ready!

Amazingly perfect. For the first time a bumble bee doesn´t sound like an ordinary bee.

**TwoSet Violin Fans have entered the chat**

Ling Ling can play both basses at the same time.

Bravo!!! Bravísimo!!!

That was... unbelievable. Most talent I’ve ever seen on double bass

5% talking about the video 95% talking about TWOSET inside jokes (lingling, sacrilegious, u can play slowly bla bla) HAHAHAHA

This is what bass players do when they get bored during their 60 measure rests.

Wow... A Flight of the Bumblebee that actually has distinctive and accurate notes. Impressed. #ifyoucanplayitslowlyyoucanplayitquickly #twoset

The way you put your ear instead of an eye to the instrument makes me want to cry of joy. Please never stop playing.

This was absolutely brilliant! My mind is blown away!

He probably practices 40 hours a day...

This might unironically be the best rendition I've ever heard of this piece.

I've watched some virtuoso performances this past couple of weeks - Debussy's 'Claire de Lune' played on the guitar, Bach's 'Toccata & Fuge in D minor' played on a bandoneon, Mozart's 'Rondo alla Turca' played on guitar - and now this! Fantastic. Thank you 🙏❤November keeps on getting better & better.

52 people got stung by a bee

Asian parents: now play it backwards.

I am so sorry that the pianists did not believe in your capabilities. As a pianist, I am ashamed that no one agreed to accompany you; however, I cannot say that I am not happy with the results of that. Amazing and artful performance! Thank you for sharing.

Wow that's awesome!!!!!!!!!! The best version I've heard in a very long time ❤

it took me 3 times of watching this to realize ur the same person, lol

So is it a Quadruple Bass?

*_YYOOUU_** played that* *_BBEEAAUUTTIIFFUULLYY!!_* *THANK YOU!* 💖👍

Wow! Never thought FOTB sounded so nice on double bass! Bravo! 👏

This must be the best double bass performance I've ever seen. Amazing.

I didn't know KFC man played the double bass.

Bravo maestro!!!!

Dziękuję serdecznie za " Lot trzmiela", który poznałam na koncercie filharmonii dla szkół podstawowych. Pozdrawiam.😀

oh my god and I thought 16th notes were tiring

Minecraft pros makes their house look like a mansion Art pros make scribbles looks like legend *Music pros make double base sounds like a cello*

I think this piece sounds the best as a duet on double bass like you did. It has this real feeling of a bumblebee with the low tremolo notes without loosing its musicality. Of course it needs to be played by masters like you champs. Bruh I think I just realised that you two are actually just one person

Ridiculously good! My hat is off to you Bro!!! Now let me see if I can pick my jaw up off the floor.

That's awesome if i think in cello that music is hard enough, in bass it's unbelievable congratulations

I thought you were twins

Clappings from Argentina!🇦🇷👏🏻

Beautiful 🙏🏼 ❤

I saw your comment about someone saying that your video was fake. I don't see how it could be. From one string instrumentalist to another, I can tell when playing is real. I can see the pure concentration on your face, and I know how it feels to play fast and advanced songs on a large instrument. No way this is fake. I caught every single note with the movement of your fingers.

he is the first person who could play this piece and didn't go for Guinness world record

I've heard a lot of people who play this piece, even virtuosos, but this was such an amazing and clear take, and it was honestly the most fun to watch being played. Very well done!

Stings like a son of a bee great job guys I JUST LOVED IT!

The first sentence come out from twoset fans when we see the word BUMBLEBEE : If you can play it slowly You can play it quickly

Now thats a solid the flight of the bumble-bee under 1 minute

WOW -- AND it was super in tune! Super Impressive! Bravo!!!

BRAVO!!! BIS! BIS! And that man is his own twin. Super! And ghey both love the double bass! How exyraordinary!

Wow! While the sonority of the double bass is ideally suited for the bumble bee I never thought I'd hear someone playing it on that instrument for the obvious technical reason of playability so... Congratulations! Beautifully done!

This might come off weird, but what stool do you use?

❤❤❤ This sounds so lovely! Much more bumblebee-style than I ever have heard! Kudos!

Bravo maestro, pozdrav iz Srbije

Dear Classic FM, My name is Lev Weksler, and I would like to respond to the article written about me, entitled: Professional double bassists can't work out if *that* Flight of the Bumblebee video is fake By Daniel Ross, 19th January 2016, 11:01 This is not about making excuses, or the need prove anything to anyone, but I just merely feel the need to defend myself against untrue and unjust accusations. I feel that I owe it to those people [my supporters] who listen to, and appreciate my musical performances. and to those whom I have inspired to once again, take their instrument out of the closet, and start playing once again. My musical playing style and techniques are self taught and obviously different than those who have been taught by traditional methods (not that there’s anything wrong with traditional methods), I just developed my own style through years of playing and performing the music that I love. A few years ago, I was introduced to recording on a computer, as I found out, most everyone else did as well. I then realized that I was behind the times. I quickly discovered that it was a more efficient, faster and convenient than recording onto tape. But I am not a keyboard player and do not use any Synthesizers or MIDI to create my music. I do not use auto-tune. I play everything myself, live into a microphone. Some of my songs require two Bass parts, so I record one track at a time. Yes, I do “Punch in” or re-record some parts that need to be fixed. I then shoot the video to the music that I myself have played and recorded, but I am not trying to fool anyone into thinking, that I am playing live during the video shoot. otherwise I would place headphones on my head and a microphone in front of me for more realism. I am simply accompanying myself for the purpose of the video. I am not doing a “Mimmic” act as some have suggested. I am playing together with my own musical recording…besides, If I had such great Mimmic abilities, I would join the circus instead. Sadly, one of my critics, (with the sole purpose of humiliating me) repeatidly insisted that I post a real live performance of myself. So I will grant him his wish. It is also sad to see that other fellow musicians have concentrated on the technical editing rather than the musical performance itself. I can understand how some people don’t believe that its recorded on a Double Bass because of the unconventional bass sound. Even a friend of mine, by the name of Evgeny Shatsky, who is a Double Bass player with the “Tel-Aviv Symphony Orchestra” couldn’t believe that what he heard was done on a double Bass, until he heard me play it personally. In conclusion, I would like to thank all of my supporters and youtube subscribers that follow me and continue to do so with positive encouragement. I would like to especially thank a great Double Bassist, Lauren Pierce who has open mindedly, supported. In my opinion, she is the future of the Double Bass. It would be an honor for me to share with her, some of my technical abilities that I have developed through out the years.

Meanwhile I'm still figuring out the keynotes on my double bass, often forget which string is C.

You are a Great Musician! Great Soul to See!

I love it! Sounds so menacing when bumblebees are anything but. 🥰

Fenomenal!Acest om cred ca a băut un bax de energizante la ce energie și viteza are😂😂😂.E super!!!👍

Jesus fucking christ my fingers burn while watching this

IDK what I was expecting but it wasn’t this.. holy crap! 😮

Mind. Blown. ❤️❤️❤️

This was absolutely incredible. What a technique.. what sound. I really dont have enough words to express how great this was. Congratulations !!

Man, I instantly subscribed. I don't play Double Bass (I play violin), but you seriously impressed me.

Incredibly awesome and super stellar.

Perfection at its finest ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Confirmed best double bassist in history and forever

Double George Carlins on double double basses

Absolutely marvellous !!

❤wow simply wow!❤

Sounded like two bees were dancing around my ears. Awesome stuff keep up the good work. 💛

no way! this is imposible!! you are the best !! this is sickness! :)) i like that you are trying the hardest song (i have ever seen). i want to see your next video!

Beautiful!!!

This is enough to entertain me for an hour

still in shock :) Fantastico maestro

I don't often comment but I love Flight of the Bumble Bee and this is the first time I watched a RU-vid video 3x in a row! The sound of the bumble bees were so realistic that if I didn't know it was an instrument being played, I would be running for my life! Really enjoyed watching your movement too as well as the music. You are an amazing bass player. And for the first ever time in my life, I considered learning this instrument that is bigger than me!

my mouth was open the entire 1 minute i was watching this to balance the pressure coming from my mind being blown. 🤯

Bravo! After you, the bumble-bee has never been the same!

Didn't know George Carlin was so talented at the bass!

I thought this was impossible on the cello! (I'm a cellist) I wouldn't even think of trying it on the bass! You are an amazing musician!

Glorious! Marvelous! What an encouragement!

Fantastisch - unglaublich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*AaMaaAAaAzIiinG*

You're a master. You have such a wonderful tone and god knows how hard it is on the double bass.... Thank you for sharing this with us

Wonderful! Not finding a piano accompaniment was a good thing for it made you produce this, which is much better than a bass/piano collaboration.

That was so good😀👍👍

“His fingers move so smoothly”

Sir, you are amazing. That was beautiful

Utterly glorious!!!

Very enjoyable experience, brilliant

I fear the day the double bassists take over our whole world :( they are just too powerful.

I can not wait to hear the live performance. That will be truly entertaining.

Great video! I love this kinds of videos!

this is freaking awesome!
