It was more interesting than your paraphrasing.
@@Mike-lx9qn My paraphrasing is definitely more interesting than someone who put effort into editing their (very) short comment but still failed to make that comment funny. Build a bridge and get over it kid.
@@Lina321_
All the things wrong with your comment: I don't care about being funny -- all I care about is the truth; attacking me instead of addressint that truth doesn't change it; you called me kid, and the only ones who do that are kids, which fits with the anime pfp; and then you liked your own comment. And that last part is the least important one (and it could be someone else), but I've never seen someone try so hard, just to be funny, and failing so miserably, that it's the saddest part. And is me editing my comment for spelling mistakes what you _really_ focus on? Because that's petty. And before you think of it, don't respond with a, "your face is petty!" Better yet, don't respond at all. It would be too much to ask for you to delete it, and neither of us care enough -- or maybe you get off on clicks.
@@Mike-lx9qn you wrote a paragraph, obviously liked your own comment, again edited your comment and you gave not even one coherent argument. All I can see is that you came asking for a fight and attention, grow up kid.
@Domine Non Es Dignus how does that matter?
"Nice overtones!" is one of the sickest backhanded compliments I've ever heard, I can't believe Eddy didn't just fall out of his chair dead
i'm somewhat upset that i don't know enough about music to be able to at all understand what the roast is.
Eddy had just played a wrong note that was higher than what he was supposed to be playing-that’s what the “overtone” was
@@jamaluddinkhalifa8371 Overtones in this context are unintentional harmonics that result from improper technique. Press the middle of a string against the fingerboard and vibrate it, two notes will be produced. The lower/main note is called the fundamental, the overtone is a much higher note that comes from the upper section of the string. When these produce undesirable sounds you can prevent the overtone from sounding by muting the upper section of the string, but they were new to this instrument and were just focusing on even making any notes at all. So she was basically saying he had bad form.
it was such a sick burn i need some cold water after that
why are none of these answers correct. she said that because he didnt put enought pressure on the string.

As a bassist who started out as a violinist, I can speak on behalf of all of these comments about how difficult it really is. Glad to see fellow bass support.
same I started out as a violin.
As someone that doesn't play it, Bass is the hardest of the four main orchestra instruments.

One could argue that.
so in my seventh grade orchestra (the place I started learning bass), I was the only bass, so when my teacher would guide me through the bass part, everyone would just stare at me. Multiple times throughout the year, I'd hear some random violin say "bass looks so easy" and then turn around and see them turning their head away trying not to look like they'd said anything. I take a lot of pleasure in seeing these violinists suffer.
“I can’t even see my feet”

Yeahh
who else feels so bad for the poor teacher who had to deal with two whiny violinists for an entire hour?
Nah, she was enjoying their misery, make them feel the tortures of playing her instrument.
Listening to two whiny violinists complain about how difficult the bass is isn't a trial, it's a pleasure.
Caster Jr
Practice.
Well since you watched it, you clearly enjoyed watching two whiny violinists suffer, why do you assume that she did not? :D
Rena Li kind to assume that you think band/orchestra kids don’t secretly wish for another sections misery
As a bassist, it's nice seeing people struggle to lift up a surprisingly light instrument, not sure if it's because I play the french bass which doesnt have a B string so that may be the reason
Those are some pretty fat basses so I don’t doubt they are heavy. They’re also picking them up really wrong so that’s probably why it’s heavy to them
Finally, muster enough courage to watch this episode at the end of 2021.
Just want to say thank you to Twoset and Phoebe, this video means so much to me as an ex-bassist.
I have learnt the double bass for nearly a decade, but I remember I played really poorly. I don't have much strength, can't even hold the bow properly (I was doing the french bow). The music education I received was very exam-oriented so I was really bad at sight-reading and felt like I could only play the three pieces from the ABRSM and still played it badly.
Also, I didn't practice enough, partly because I was lazy and also partly due to other factors in life. Even my teacher once suggested I should quit learning when I was preparing for my Grade 8 exam. I cried a lot and told her I wish to just stop it after I passed grade 8 because we have already spent so much time on it. I literally just passed the exam, still believed the examiner took pity on a little girl (I looked younger than my actual age)and just give me the pass when my playing didn't justify it.
Then I never once touched my bass and it has been 8 years since. I thought it meant I didn't like double bass that much and it doesn't matter. And later I just locked away some of my memories...for example, If you asked me at the start of this year, I don't even remember how to read bass clef but can at least read treble and tenor clef given the time.
However, I found your channel in the middle of this year and you guys bring me so much joy. Slowly but surely, I started to remember stuff related to double bass. The exam pieces I used to play, the beautiful harmonic sound when I go beyond 5th position, some funny stories when I was playing in the orchestra. And there's suddenly one day I realize I actually can read the bass clef, it just clicked in my head.
And I have been tempted to start learning an instrument since I joined this community. I've always wanted to learn piano, and the tone of cello/flute is very lovely, but I realize if I am ever going to start playing any instrument again, I would still pick double bass. (But double teachers are so rare in where I live and I can't even find any double bass sheet music in music stores that are NOT syllabus of ABRSM LOL) I guess this means deep down I am still very fond of double bass and thank you for letting me make little peace with my past self.
Back to the video, it was hilarious to see you guys now understand what it was like to play the bass! And even better when Phoebe just roasted you. I remembered the pain from playing but I don't remember I ever complained so much XD It is also funny to see Brett did a finger vibrato on the bass and Eddy whined about the pinky when you were not even pressing on the thickest string. Definitely give me a confidence boost when I think back to my experience of playing! Thank you so much.
2022 is approaching whilst I am typing this, once again thank you Brett and Eddy for the love and passion of classical music you shared with me and many others in the world.
Wish you a happy new year from the bottom of my heart!
Aww ❤ I hope you're doing great now and that you can still play every now and then 😊
@@anadd6195 Wow, Thank you so much for your kind words. Didn't expect anyone to check the comments of an old video. I don't think I am mentally ready for playing at the moment, but I do hope I can play again someday!
yeh
That's an amazing story! I know Twoset encourages all kinds of people to listen to new music and pick up instruments (either for the first time, or after a long break), but the change you seem to have gone through is at a deeper level. I also hope you can continue to play when you're ready. Take it easy, enjoy it, and good luck ❤
@@kristinam4178 Thank you so much for your kind comment! The community has been really supportive...I can already foresee so many obstacles but I also hope I can play again sometimes! ❤
I’m 15, I played the double bass for four years now, and everyone keeps saying it’s so easy, seeing these two violinists suffer was the highlight of my entire day, they finally get it!😌😌
I've was playing the bass for 4 years too!
@@lyssanikayla keep playing the bass it's even worse than cello cuz you're only going to get Harmony try to get lessons where you can do some solo
I’m 15 too, was supposed to receive a double bass from our council 2 months ago after quitting violin to pick up bass 9 months ago but the lower strings teacher doesn’t even come to school. Thanks Corona
The Elephant was the first piece I ever learnt on double bass, and that was 6 years ago, when I was like a third of their age, and I don't remember whining so much. So wonderful to see our pain being acknowledged.

The horrible double bass sounds eeking out as it gets played by someone in a MUSICIAN shirt is peak entertainment.
as a bassist i really appreciate this cuz everyone else is like “bass is so easy” and i’m like “are you ready for hand pain”
@Icee Fire hell yeah we the ones that suffer
I know right were so unappreciated
To be fair after some time we just loose a sense of touch. Jazz bassists in both hands actually.
It's not the hand pain part. More like when you play fast running notes and then it drains ur energy really fast
i play the cello but the strings on the bass are really thick, i couldn’t imagine playing it

When Brett said “You’re losing your tone,” I half expected Eddy to say “I’m losing my mind.”
When he said that I cackled and went “what tone?” Love these guys but as a bassist this was beyond cathartic
Yes my thoughts exactly
I love the moment at the symphony when the music is boring, then we see the scrolls atop of basses come forward all together, and we know that the bass players have stood up, ready to make the music rich and exciting. Hurray for sensei Phoebe.
“Nice overtones”
“Are you trying to play it badly?”

Literally any time any violinist picks up a bass for the first time:
"I didn't realize how big it was!"
"This bow is so heavy!"
"How do you even push down the strings?"
Every time. Without fail. And they wonder why basses can't play 10 notes per second or play across 3 octaves in half a second. Everyone needs to try bass for an hour to appreciate what a monster of an instrument it is.
if it was easy it wouldnt be cool. anyone can tame a shrew but only a real hunter can mount a bear.

In 17 and play the bass for four years, and having been in orchestras and seeing violinists look down at us makes this video sooo satisfying, finally having them understand how hard it is and impressive to play well.
Been playing upright bass for years now, and seeing this was absolutely comical I must say. Seeing these violinists play them for the first time really is how it is for everyone. It hurts the first year or so. But once your finger callus up and gain strength, its great.
As a bassist, this has improved my self esteem greatly
IKR!
You beaten Twosetviolins but you now must face Davie504
“Why are there 5 strings?”
Le gasp
“It’s a sacrilegious bass”
Even Eddy knows.
Very Impressive
Random Bee Its amazing that TwoSet doesn’t know about extension bass
I have a 6 string d-bass
@@arturoromero951 that type of d-bass ....not worth it
We don't do sacreligious
omg that's not a bow, that's a saw
I just remembered that basses aren't light after seeing that, because I got used to the weight of my bass.
Thank you Phoebe Russell, for being the best bass teacher :)
Yes double bass (Pun intended)
awww
would you mind telling the song's name of minute 6? :v
You guys had a lot stacked against you...5 String bass tuned in 4th's...German Bow...They should have at least given you guys a french bow.
Why Does It Have 5 Strings?
Phoebe: Matricia Elephant
Eddy: stumbling baby elephant
Brett: Dying elephant
_éléphant mourant_
Sums up Brett's lofi pretty welll too
Actually Brett started playing better than Eddy, but then his playing died gradually until it was bad lmao
@@angi4912 just like the process of dying
@@joskimengstrom2853 yeah the way I worded it was weird. Sorry
I was a violinist for like three years(I still play it) but in middle I switched to double bass because it seemed cool. It wasn’t that hard and I actually didn’t have to press down hard. I quickly got used to it and has been playing it for 3 years now and I recently started the cello.
Loved watching this! Watching violinists going through what us bass players do through was great
I love her cause she is savage! "how are you vibrating with your shoulder... that's nothing... It's been 15 minutes... are you trying to play that badly... Nice overtones... I think we agreed to stop here... Just give it to me... etc"
I also love her face when they play the piece.
This was priceless.
“Is this the German or the French *inaudible mumble*”
“That is nothing”
Reading this comment I just heard in my head 'German and French grip' in Marthyn Jovanovic' voice lol
I've been watching too many drumming videos lately
I'm exact 100 like lol
“this is so heavy!”
me carrying my double base, music sheets, stand and my backpack up 3 floors every day: *mhm?*
Just learned this piece the other day. It's interesting to come back and watch Twoset attempt it lol
I actually played this piece in an orchestra, but when i first clicked into this video and I skipped to their performance part, I could not tell what they were playing.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I don’t even know if the replaces the soundtrack
Are Brett and Eddy doing these videos so they can learn all of Saint-Saens's Carnival of the Animals?
WonderfulFilms I can’t wait until they try to learn “The Swan.” Learn the harp already!
@@AnnieDHarpie Didn't they already do it in their cello video ?
@Annie Driscoll
Well, they did learn "The Swan", but on the cello. ;-)
WonderfulFilms duh...meant “The Aquarium” my brain did a fart. I’ve heard people do the swan on the harp, but I forgot it wasn’t *written* for it
They should do The Aviary on flute next xD
Twoset: This hurts my pinkie!
Phoebe: I literally destroyed my rib cage for this
I think we can all agree editor-san was amazing in this video
Me a bassist: *having a crisis over how much rosin is on Brett’s fingerboard*
Omg yes
Omg I did not even notice until then
I was thinking the same as a violinist 😂
I'm not even a musician, but I noticed it too.
That's what you get from binge-watching TwoSet ! 😁
Jesus u right
'So it's a bit like a pencil'
-> Brett: 'Like a chopstick'
He can't hide his asian side =))
Not an Asian but somehow I also first thought of chopsticks. Maybe because I held them as awkwardly at first as these two holding their bows xD
D S ASSEMBLED
I ccried when eddy was like...
eddy : is that the german or the french or..
Phoebe : That is nothing xD
1:55 love it
Please do a "we try learning saxophone in an hour" or smth like that, I would love to see you trying to play an instrument without strings or keys lol
@Influenzerzwerg
Have you watched their "Pro vs Beginner" series ? They tried many instruments, these videos are hilarious ! 😅
You do realize a Sax has keys right? Not trying to egg on you man I am just saying 😂
@@theyunggip4293 oh damn, I didn't know the button thingies are also called keys lol
I don't speak english as my first language
Thanks for correcting me :)
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia haha yeah I did :D I'm just waiting for them to try a woodwind or a brass instrument though
Influenzerzwerg it’s all good, English is my first language and I can barely speak that 😂
Me: *plays double bass* double bass isn’t hard
TwoSet: this is kinda difficult
Also Me: *tries to learn violin*Man violin is hard
Also TwoSet: Violin isn’t hard
The two instruments are different in many ways.
I don't get this comment
I am confusion
Wait, wah...?
Johnny JayJay see if that makes more sense
Great episode! Always love seeing Phoebe Sensei~
After playing bass for nearly five years, our pain is FINALLY understood
