Hello, everyone!
Look at this! Something's changed!
For the new viewers, you probably don't know.
We're back in the square.
The OG square!
Today we're going to be watching a video.
"Match Instrument to the Person!"
We've actually done a similar idea before,
where we tried to guess who played what instrument.
At that time, we were only asking questions.
I already see here that there are instruments here.
So, it's different.
I'm keen to see how this video goes.
Hello.
I'm Hudson. I'm seventeen.
Yeah, more or less.
All the real prodigies that we've met have never been like,
"Yeah, I'm a prodigy."
But who knows? Maybe she's a prodigy.
- Yeah, maybe she is. - She could be one.
- Yeah, she could be one. - Let's not judge a book by the cover.
- Shouldn't be judging! - Let's not judge a book by the cover.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
I'm in a girl band, play guitar, bass, I sing.
Wassup, I'm V. I classify as a percussionist.
Sorry, I wanted to make a really lame joke.
We "classical-fy" as classical...
Ah, no.
Sorry.
"Classical-fy!" That's a new term.
We need to classical-fy everyone around the world.
So please share this video, I know you haven't watched it yet,
but please share it anyway.
Okay, okay, let's keep going.
I teach high school band and orchestra.
(Eddy) Nice.
Yeah!
Clarinet is like, very studious,
and saxophone is like, a little bit sillier.
- Clarinet is studious... - Studious...
I guess compared to saxophone.
- But definitely in a classical orchestra, - In comparison, yeah.
- clarinet is not the studious one. - Yeah.
I mean, saxophone is like a loose cannon.
- Even the way they practice. Anyway. - Yeah.
Different people who play different instruments
got different swag.
If you come out here playing a oboe,
I don't know what that swag is,
but that's a certain swag.
Y'all look like musicians, I know that's right! Swag!
That's one thing we do have is swag,
'cause we know we can play some music!
Yo, bro!
- We the musician channel, TwoSet Violin! - Hey, hey, yeah!
Where everyone got the SWAG!
- Woo! - Wooo! *Kra pow pow*
- Don't think I've ever seen this before! - Here you go.
These are the bagpipes.
So, I feel like a younger person wouldn't play bagpipes?
I feel like maybe... this guy plays bagpipes?
There's a little wink in his eye, he's like...
He flinched a bit.
Nah, I mean, I could see that. I could see that.
Hmm...
Wait, are they acting it out as well?
- I don't know... - Is he pretending?
- *Bagpipes sounding awkwardly* - Hahaha!
You know, I think I've heard enough!
Hold it like you 'bout to play.
Yeah, I'ma say it's hers. I'ma say it's hers.
Just the way she just kinda... she didn't fidget,
and I fidgeted trying to hold it, so,
(V) I'ma hand it to you!
I mean, it seems like it's a string instrument,
but I don't know what kind of string instrument.
I don't know. I don't wanna say!
I don't wanna say the wrong thing!
I just know it's not American...
Welcome to instrument charades,
we don't want to offend every country...
- *All musicians laughing* - It's not from... HERE!
Can I ask you some questions?
- Will you hold this for me? - Sure.
'Kay.
Wow.
Looks like you know what you're doing.
No. No way.
- Yeah, that's... - That's not how you hold any string instrument.
- Where's she putting her hands? - That's not how you hold any string instrument.
(Brett) On the string?
(Eddy) I feel like she's holding the string. I can't tell, though.
- I can't see... - She's hooking it on something near the neck.
So I'ma pass that to you, like that. Let me see.
Oh, yeah, you know what's up!
- Maybe that's how you hold it. - Oh.
With the fingers like that, 'cause there's like, a hook there...
- Oh there's a hook! Ohh! - Yeah, she's not holding it on a string,
- I thought she was holding the string. - no way. No way to hold the string, yeah.
Interesting, okay.
You look... fun and quirky,
and I think that this is something that... matches that.
Thank you...?
"You look fun and quirky."
I actually have no idea right now.
I'm just going along with it.
Ahh, this brings me so much joy!
*Playing snare rhythm* Okay!
Come on, little one. Come on over here.
I'll bring you up, I'll bring you up.
Name three drums in a normal kit.
Toms, bass, snare.
Okay, that was confident!
I think any musician knows that.
- Tom, bass, snare. - Yeah.
- They're, like, the most basic drums, right? - They're the most basic ones.
Yup, mm-mm. Not at all.
Not at all!
Being a snare drummer
is different from being like, a trap set drummer.
Like, you just know, they posture, how they stand,
how they feet are like this,
(V) with they hands behind they back...
*All laughing*
I wanna see you go:
*Playing paradiddle rhythm*
*Playing rhythm back*
- Yeah. - Yeah, okay. Nah.
- Yeah. - It's too efficient, like...
It's him, it's him! It is. I knew it, I knew it.
I knew it was him.
I think this is a viola.
Viola is a very sophisticated instrument, orchestra...
- ...yes. - Yes.
Very sophisticated...
She's been classica-fied.
Yes. She knows, it's very, um...
...requires a lot of intellect.
You gotta read different clefs.
You've gotta be able to count a lot of rests.
- Takes a lot of sophistication to play the viola. - Yes.
I'm thinking like, cultured...
The prodigy has spoken!
- Yes. - The viola is the most cultured.
So get classica-fied!
I think it belongs to you.
I feel like my viola players are not quite as
intense as my violin players.
...Yeah, I'll give that to her.
- She's right on that one! - Yeah. She's spot-on.
Violas... violas are a bit more docile.
Hahahaha! Just joking...
Okay, yeah, you're totally a viola player.
She popped it up with confidence,
she's got the like, right, the arm... totally right.
I mean, I guess.
It's just not, it's not obscenely wrong.
The bow hold, *chef's kiss* Perfect.
See, it's the prodigy, so let's keep going.
True. The prodigy is right.
Ohhh!
Is this the, um...
Dang, what's it called?
Where you kinda like, blow in,
and it makes like, a really, really cool sound.
It's a didgeridoo!
Do you know what this, instrument this is?
It's a didgeridoo.
Can you hold it for me?
Okay.
Uh, I don't know if that's right or not,
because again, I've never met anyone in person
who has played a didgeridoo!
I think I'ma go with... my man here.
Come on up here, darling.
You think you know what it is?
- I know what it is. - (V) You know what it is? What is it?
A didgeridoo.
A didgeridoo?
I can't help but feel like the way he's holding the didgeridoo,
- feels like he's not a didgeridoo player. - Yeah, I don't think so.
He's just like, "I don't know how to hold this."
I think the Asian guy was confident
- in that he just put it on the ground, like... - Yeah.
Yes, saxophone!
I think this belongs to you.
Do you want me to do a stage entrance?
Yeah! I do.
- *Singing "Careless Whisper" saxophone melody* - Oh, wow! Yes!
- The way she did that looks kind of confident, but... - Yeah, that was pretty confident.
- But... I'm not sure for the hand, I can't remember... - Don't know. I can't think...
We were playing it, right? We had a lesson.
- The thumb has to go on the black thing, right? Yeah. - Yes.
- Where? - (Teacher) At the back.
- How do you know? - Dunno. Intuition.
I can't remember.
Damn! Wish I remembered!
I think saxophone players in high school, from my experience,
tend to be very fun and silly,
and I definitely get that from you.
Oh, she thinks... that guy had a...
- Ahahahaha! Nooo way! - ...saxophone, no way!
He's definitely on the drums.
Okay. I know for sure, for me, I'm confident about the right guy.
- He's on the drums. - Yeah, he's definitely drum.
- I mean, he basically played it. - He basically played it.
Bagpipe? I would believe it's her.
Wait, what made you think it was her again? I forgot.
'Cause the way she just held it was so confident.
- She's still holding it like that. - Ohh, yeah, true true true.
I feel like this instrument is hers.
Why?
Maybe. 'Cause the way that she was holding...
but the way she was holding it was weird as well, though.
I can't tell if that's how you're supposed to hold it.
You would've think naturally you'd wanna hold it by the neck.
Like a guitar, right? But there's no strap,
and with something like that I feel like you would need a strap,
- because there's no fingerboard. - Yeah. Yeah!
It's like the strings are just there.
I wanna see how she holds again.
This is violin detective time.
Oh, yeah, you know what's up.
Is that really how you would play that instrument?
- It looks so awkward! - Looks— yeah!
- I don't think so! - She's like...
I'm not convinced whatever ethnic culture
would design an instrument that looks like a massive...
object with a round base
- protruding from the hip. -And you play it like this, right?
- Okay, yeah, yeah. - Like from there, right?
I, I'm not convinced.
- Maybe...? - But... the way she grabbed those handles...
- (Brett) It looks like she KNEW how to hold it. - Yes.
Okay, anyway, so let's go back.
- She holds the viola the right way. - That is a good...
- It's a resting... yeah. - Under the arm. Okay, she's the violist.
She's the violist. Yeah.
I think the didgeridoo's between the Asian guy or the bearded dude.
Maybe HE plays the saxophone.
- Ohh? Inter—ah? Yep. I could, I could see that. - I think he plays the sax.
But then what would the Asian girl play?
- Well, there's no way the Asian girl plays the didgeridoo. - I don't think so.
Maybe she plays the guitar
and the Asian dude plays the didgeridoo.
He does give me counterculture vibes.
- Yeah, yeah. - Like, the way he's dressing is a bit like,
- alternative indie Asian. - Yeah, I know what you mean.
Not like mainstream studious Asian.
I feel very racist all of a sudden.
Why is this...
- Guys, I'm just trying to—! - We are not a racist channel!
He plays the didgeridoo, she plays the ethnic instrument,
she plays the bagpipes. Done!
- Yeah, and the guy plays the sax? - Yep. I'm locking it in.
Does this Asian guy look like he plays the didgeridoo, though?
I need to zoom in on his face.
He's either the didgeridoo or the ethnic instrument.
- Didgeridoo. - You reckon?!
- Very random, yes. - So the girl's the ethnic...
Yeah.
Okay! Let's just lock that up.
Actually, nooo! That guy's not a sax player.
I don't think he's a sax player, actually.
I changed my mind.
She dresses up more like a sax player.
She looks like she might do some ethnic instrument, too.
Look at her necklace.
- It's alternative, right? - It's like, ethnic-looking necklace. Artistic.
Actually, ethnic instrument, didgeridoo, sax.
But I, I can't see the Asian guy playing sax, that's the problem.
I dunno, I wish I saw him hold the sax, then I would know.
He's got pretty clean hair. Do sax players have clean hair?
- All right. Let's go with that. - All right? Yeah. Okay, fine.
*Playing "Careless Whisper**
Oh, she is sax.
Damn!!
- Beautiful. Beautiful!
*Struggling to play viola*
Uh-uh, no!
Well, I'm glad the camera turned off before what Eddy said!
I was like, "He looks like a hippie," and the camera turned off!
It was like, "Don't get canceled!"
*Playing bagpipe melody*
Is the bagpipe that loud?
- Literally two of them are like, covering their ears. - Yeah.
Not them just shamelessly being like...
And it must be so loud if it's the drummer!
I've never heard a bagpipe close up, now I think about it.
- And, but, I always hear them from far away! - It must be so loud!
Oh yeah, like some parade.
Yeah, no, they're loud.
Yeah, 'cause for musicians to do that,
musicians wouldn't wanna be rude,
- but they're also protective of their hearing, so... - Yeah, so makes sense.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Damn.
*Playing rhythm on edge of snare*
- He's like, "I'm not even gonna hit the center of the snare." - Yeah. "You don't deserve to hear me."
This is an insult.
Oh, you do hold it like that!
Wow, learned something new today.
That's a funny-looking instrument position,
- that's all I've gotta say. - I wanna know what it is!
*Playing kamale ngoni melody*
- It looks so tiring on the fingers. - Yeah.
- There's just two fingers just holding that... - ...holding the whole instrument, yeah.
- Maybe you like, put it on your leg, but it's still pretty tiring. - Yeah.
*Playing viola folk melody*
- The double stops! Nice, nice! - Ooooh!
How long you been playing?
(Violist) I started playing violin at nine...
That's why she could do double stops,
'cause she started on the violin.
*Playing didgeridoo drone*
- Yeah, yeah. - Ooh!
That sounds so cool, oh my gosh!
Do you have any interesting stories with the didgeridoo?
Some of my coworkers wanted me to play the didgeridoo
so I brought it over to work,
played it for like five minutes,
then we went and ate hot pot,
and then when I was driving home,
you know, it didn't really sit right, and then I...
y'know, kinda s*** myself...
- His story had nothing to do with playing the didgeridoo. - I know, it's...
You could've cut out the didgeridoo bit
- and it would've been the same. - It's just...
he happened to play didgeridoo.
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
He just wanted to tell people that he s*** himself.
So did you s*** yourself because of the didgeridoo, or...?
No, it was the food.
No, I just wanted to share the story with everyone!
People need to know the hot pot like...
screwed up my stomach, man!
...I'm hungry.
- Yeah, I'm hungry, too. - I want hot pot.
Yeah, I want hot pot too!
Nice, that was fun!
It's always cool to see, uh...
Violas represented, so...
That's true, that's true.
I have to be honest, I was quite surprised
to see an Asian guy playing the didgeridoo.
Like, having lived in Australia,
I've never, ever seen an Asian guy play didgeridoo.
And I've never, also,
seen someone driving and s*** themselves, so
this guy's pretty unique.
Also realized bagpipes are really loud!
That was shocking to me, to see musicians cover their ears.
- Even the drummer covered his ears! It was like... - Yeah.
Did you guess right? What'd you guess?
Did you learn something like us?
