Professional Musicians Rate Youtubers’ Instrument Skills 

Omg wowwwwww!

Damn the guy got exposed

😂😂😂😅🤣🤣

Yooooo-

bruh 😂😭

Fatneek tho

Yes✨

Ikr

Imagine it was a knock-off, and they just bought it cause it looked nice.

@@White-tq3si lol

He′s still a good violinist.

@@MyLittleMagneton True, but . . . uh . . .

clout is a deadly disease

what happened?

@@chopsticks7623 Well to summarize it: When the guy started with RU-vid he was I believe still a professional violinist and he made food videos accompanied by his pet parrot. Back then he ate pretty healthy and he was also vegan. In his videos he seemed nice and genuine. Just look at older videos of him. Then eventually he really started with that Mukbang bullshit, he quit being vegan and started to eat unhealthy amounts of food. People seemed to enjoy that so he did more and more for clout, he started acting childish as well. He is always screaming and making a scene. He also has/had (not sure) a boyfriend who is in a lot of videos and there is always drama. Nick now just becomes fatter and fatter while his health keeps deteriorating until it will eventually kill him. He seems to be somewhat aware of this, yet he also doesn't quit. It is just very sad to see. If you look at older Videos, you almost can't believe it. A guy with quite some talent ending up like this. He is to blame for this but ofc also the audience who actually encourages it and thinks it is somehow funny to see someone slowly kill themselves is partly responsible.

Will he hit the gym someday? Or is he completely lost? I don't watch him... that's why I'm asking

@@andrewmathematician7443 chances are he's never gonna reform. he says it's a character he puts up. but the more he's on youtube, the less i believe in that

@@CinnamonFudge2229bro could’ve been the same level as ling ling but never reached his full potential

@@Scrub_Lord-en7cq muk-bang got to him first

Depression destroys people. I would know.

Show up with bubble tea to improve your chances

Omg yessss

PLEASE I WOULD DIE

It made me so happy to see you in this vid 😄

The colab we didn’t know we needed, but definitely need

"YouTuniverse" I love it 😂

@@TwoSetPlaylists No one's going to check it out, stop plugging. Get outta here with your snarky eyeroll emoji too. ain't nobody got time for that.

Do you mean Youniverse?

@@Kycilak That's a good one too.

@TwoSet Playlists, keep doing what you do, thanks.

saxophone is a woodwind instrument.

@@Raffael-Tausend Trombone isn't.

As a trumpettist who now plays other brass instruments as well: very true! The breath support that I learnt on the trumpet even helps on the saxophone as well

As a trumpet player can confirm

I think he said in the video that he can play most brass instruments but he chose trombone bc it has the least transferable skills

yes

Sax gang confirms here

Yeah - the AGT judges would probably think he’s great 😱 They often pick losers...

has to have a sad back story like "mountain bike riding and hurt wrist" or something

@@longnguyenkimhoang4858 aye me too

12 OUT OF 18 NOOO IT GOT BETTER

I KNOOOOOOWWWW IT KILLED ME! idk how no one else mentioned it in the comments 😂 12/18😂😂😂

Omg I’m only just getting it now after reading your comment and doing a double take

I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT AHAHAA

@@judahunderwood8433 Can someone explain to me?

yes and hes very proud of it

That would be so much fun to watch!

Yeah, Twoset should do "Learn the French Horn in one hour" video with Keith 😂🤣

@@darthbee18 problem is Keith is in LA and theyre in Australia

@@maurice1987 I know! But here's hoping that they would do it one day... 🤞🤞🤞

same here!!

same!! i grinned so wide oh my god

Same! I love Dan so much

Our precious is so good at so many things

YES!

He still plays very good

@@sasukeuchiha1320 ok, that's not the point tho

@@satirics7701 ye I mean I get it

he's ok 👍 loo

@@downundabrotha I wish him the best

Talent wasted :(

If he released a classical album that'd actually probably do great.

@@redbarchettta it’s actually skill not talent,and he can still play but he chose not to make it his main thing.

@@crescent4294 whatever, does it matter?

@@redbarchettta yes

I'm a professional trombonist and I think if I was given 30 days to learn French Horn I could play it as well as he did trombone. The try guys video kinda gave an inaccurate representation of learning trombone which is a shame. Trust me, I've taught beginners 😄

@@brassholio horn is a very picky instrument but if you are good enough you should

@@brassholio The Try Guys video wasn't about showing a total newbie picking up the instrument (if that was meant to be the case it would have been with Zach, Ned or Eugene, not Keith), it was about Keith -an already known player of the French horn for the audience- stepping into trombone cause he wanted to give it a try.

Yeah thats bout why he could do it easier than absolute newbies to brass. Ive learned a bit of trumpet in about an hour and a half worth of practice cause it was the absolute most familiar thing to my trombone playing (i enjoy higher register too much)

@@brassholio Without a doubt, you could. I am an amateur high school trombonist and in the first hour of picking up the french horn, I was able to play at least to the competency level of how Keith was on trombone.

Fingers crossed!! 🤞

I hope they do end up making a video together!!

Hope to see a Collab!

His Trombone playing was actually SO spot on! I played the Trombone from junior high all the way to senior year high school, and his phrasing exceeded my own abilities.

@@lincolnrussell8463 He originally had a scholarship to university on the French Horn before changing his major - I'd imagine many skills transfer quite well.

Having a base in the French horn makes a huuuuge difference. You cant even call that learning the trombone in 30 days. Total fraud 👎

@@deezashmeeza3062 While some skills translate, I wouldn't call it a "total fraud" at all. Just look at TwoSet trying to learn Cello and Double Bass if you think instrument skills translate that easily.

@@elissahunt Tbf, majority of the problems that come from brass instruments is the sound production. If you already know how to make a sound with the french horn, it would be easier to translate to another brass instrument. Rather than comparing TwoSet learning the cello and bass where the technique is different, check how they were almost immediately able to play the viola. After all, bow hold from violin/viola is different from cello and bass.

@@derais_music I agree that some skills do translate, but my point was that it wasn't a "total fraud". Trombone and French Horn are pretty far apart despite them both being brass instruments. Note: Both Brett and Eddy played viola long before TwoSet even started. We really have no idea how hard that was for them. (It probably was much easier than going from valves to a slide though.)

@@elissahunt Ah no, I wasn't disagreeing with you. I was just pointing out that he already basically has the gist of the sound production.

Seeing that video of him play so beautifully was really sad because chances are he'll be dead in a couple years or so.

@@atlussy69 and even if he live a long life it will be a very painful and full of limitations when he get older.

Help why he's not taking care of himself? Idk anything about him 🥺

@@Ca-yr2rz maybe the mukbang?

I know, right? Iirc he did go into music performance and performed here and there, but quit due to him not making enough money; so then he decided to do mukbang. :/ I mean he could’ve considered other paths with his musical skills like teaching, such a shame to see him go like this.

C major

DAAAAMN

LMAO

I don't get this joke...

@@camenmythyr the joke is that he has done things with minors, he shouldn’t have done

This would be amazing!

LMAO

*cries in ex-pianist that quit due to panic attacks and depression*

It's ok J.P., they have a pill for that.

@@mosaic-mind your mental health is far more important than music.

@@mounikakulkarni119 Music is what keeps us sane

feels bad tbh, i genuinely hope he tries to get better

@@kateulinaa people shouldnt be so judgmental. People who do that tend to have some underlying mental health issues

@@lexdraws1729 Niko is literally risking his health just to make video's. You have some weird issues if you're going to throw around "people like that have mental issues" I would even say you're more judgemental if you're gonna talk that way.

Fr I come back every once in awhile to see if anything changes, hope that man sticks to a better lifestyle and get healthier + be happier soon. Wishing him the best 💔

poor guy

at least it was probably one of the amazon "pro" saxes tho

as a fellow saxophonist i was also happy also I love ur pfp 💅

Love ur profile pic!!!

As a fellow saxophonist, I was happy the sax got some recognition, but was a little upset that it was sacrilegious. Love ur pfp!

i was scarred despite not being a saxophonist lmao

ayy! congrats

There will be more.

Now you have to go to Facebook and find the early vlogs and livestreams….

Mad respect

Congrats!!

Partially. He got lessons before the tour. *Triggered in classical musician*

Which one is Dan?

@@JazminGarcia14 de bussy

didnt he mention that he had piano lessons when he was younger or something? and then self taught when he moved out from his family home? might be wrong tho, its been a long time since i’ve rewatched his content 😅

Cracked me up omg

"12/18" fuckin LOL!

That was truly fire

Just out of curiosity, what does the 12/10 or 12/18 mean?

@@erikavaldez9414 James Charles has been accused of pursuing minors sexually. So, 12 years old out of 18 years old

@@TheFertoledowii shop theme,but Tommy played it right with the Bb,eddy thought it was wrong

“A Thousand Miles” is like the Sonata Facile of pop music - it’s a song that pretty much every pop pianist learns within five years

@@andrewbuchan2232 nice to know

@@andrewbuchan2232 I know some people who don't even play piano, but can play that song and that song alone.

Yeah jazz and low brass is essentially "let's see how long it takes for the conductor to notice we're not even playing this song"

it’s not wrong note, there’re are theories

There are no wrong notes, only butter notes. - some jazz sage, probably

@@chizhang2765 "Jason stop eating the FUCKING rosin" -the same wise jazz sage

it still hurts so much though

@@panicatamericaspoliticalsc4225 It shouldn’t. Wooden instruments would take this really badly, but even cleaning a brass instrument involves putting it into a water bath and using ultrasonics. I just hope that his sax doc get’s paid decently...

@@TheVoitel well i know that brass can go in water but they don’t have pads and corks and whatnot. even if they can be replaced and even though ksi certainly has the money to do it it hurts to watch him dunk the sax while knowing all the unnecessary time and money that will have to be spent replacing everything when he simply could have not dunked the sax

I'd be more worried about chlorine from the pool destroying the lacquer tbh

"There is no real problem with putting a sax underwater" Dude a repad for what KSI did probably costs $300-500 😑. Are you a sax player? Because you're talking about the sax like you don't own/play one. The pads ARE the saxophone. Sure they're replaceable but they're almost as important as the body. Saying "the sax is fine only the pads and parts need to be replaced" makes no sense have you ever seen any saxophone ever be made and sold without the pads? Saying the sax is fine because the pads are broken is like saying dropping it on concrete is fine because you can just get the tube reshaped. This probably is an overreaction but it grinds my gears so badly when people try to talk about something they don't know much about like they do and then try to teach that misinformation to others.

ONGGGGG love jacksepticeye

yeah not the covers ofc but maybe get one of the clips from when hes freestyling after he got the drums all set up

while watching this i REALLY thought they’d react to jacksepticeye too, like i was waiting for him towards the end, especially since it also had pewdiepie

They very rarely ever reviewed drummer. If they ever did.

Yuh I was bouta say there’s a lack of percussion here😭

That's Freddie Wong!

@@Checkmate1138 Yes it is! Corridor crew all the way :)

Freddie Wong doing his DN-dad character justice. Rock bard dad can truly rock out

he plays guitar too

💀💀💀

Saamee, I was hoping for Dan and I'm glad they said he was good. I knew he could play, but I don't know anything about music xD

SAMEEEEE

@@Roozyj impressive rubato, and tone isn't bad, but I'd expect something lighter for this piece. Still very good already though.

@@cziffra-eg9st If the piece isn't light enough, I guess he put a bit too much personality in it xD

I need this in my life

I imagine chaos🤣🤣🤣 Good chaos...

HAHAHAA HELPP

I mean, we have some internal memes, like interesting, sacrilegious, ling ling, etc

So what if they only know one year old memes? It's hard to keep up to date on these sort of things!

So?

@@usageunit Nothing, just making a light-hearted observation.

What tweet?

WHAT TWEET???

Twoset qrt Dan’s original tweet, just check Twoset twitter

@@ajchandra7735 THANK YOU

Yeah. I'd like to see them play some fiddle music. Or do a devil went down to Georgia cover. That would be cool to see

👆YES! More likes on this please!

anytime fiddle music comes up they write it off entirely, unfortunately. and when they "imitate" fiddle music they just play extremely badly on purpose, nothing like an accomplished fiddler. i think I already know their opinions, sadly.

And also folk music. My mother was a pretty-much-professional folk violinist who learned how to play the traditional way of not only reading existing notes, but copying the more experienced violinist. She did tours and such, but she was born eith two proggressive illnesses that have made her even more deaf and blind. So she can't hear a violin anymore, but can replicate pretty much anything if you give her a violin.

God Dungeons and Daddies (the dnd podcast he’s a part of) is so funny; for anyone who hasn’t listened before, you should check it out

Gosh this is make me curious, thank u so much for recommendation. Gotta check them up!

@blahblahblah1312 imagine trying to shut down someone for being excited about something positive.

@blahblahblah1312 Lol

I am sure Dan is very glad to accomodate Eddie's request.

You're right

The whole OST is actually fantastic. Also lol at Freddie Wong just being the "editing tutorials" guy.

Tf are you on about, modern jazz is fucking sick.

watch legend of 1900 yall its such a good movie with such amazing piano pieces

never expected a freddie/twoset crossover, pleasantly surprised also knew freddie was a talented guitarist but didn't know he played piano as well! what a talented multiinstrumentalist

Honestly i still wish they could collab and have nick change his mind maybe

Niko is actually a pretty acclaimed musician himself. He performed a Mendelssohn violin concerto in carnage hall, and was a concertmaster of a upperclass symphony when he was in his early 20’s.
