[failed blowing sounds]
David: Oh—
Did—was it a sound? Jarod: —No
[more blowing sounds from David] Jarod: No, you're fine (x3)
[literally just air]
*tears*
Danny: He's just messing me up!
[too much air no buzz]
[SUCCESSFUL NOISE]
David: could I kiss with you?
Umu: Hello everyone! Welcome to the *collab of the century.* Where—
Hey, I have high hopes. No idea how this is going to carry out,
but I'm sure you all have high hopes too. This is Jarod, he's a trumpet player.
My name is Umu, I'm a French horn player.
And we're gonna teach these amazing people how to play these instruments in under one hour!
So we'll see how it turns out in the end.
Hi, I'm DKDKTV's Danny Kim. I'm David Kim.
Danny: And we make...
K-Pop...
shit.
[laughter!]
Danny: I will meet you! I will dine with you!
David: We will do good to society!
Danny: I will travel with you, man!
Umu: Okay yeah, well what are, like, your two goals of this?
Danny/David: Make a sound.
Danny: Because I know brass is really difficult to play.
Like make a sound,
and then maybe play a song.
David: Yeah, maybe play a K-Pop song.
Umu: And do you guys have any music background?
Danny: I played oboe for like one year, it hurt my cheeks too much.
I played guitar for a while, but no brass, no brass, zero brass experience.
David: I played the clarinet for like, I don't know, two or three years when I was in elementary school because my mom wanted me to.
Umu: So today in this video we're going to be going through a few steps in order to teach them how to play
BEAST's 'Fiction' on French horn and trumpet. (David/Danny: Oooohh)
Umu: So the very first thing that we're going to work on is breath control. Danny: Okay.
Umu: So what I need you guys to do is get to the edge.
So make sure that you know your stomach's in like—
you ate like a friggin six-course meal!
Danny: Okay.
Umu: So, what we've been taught in music school is if we make this
[inhales deeply]
Umu: Put, like you're on here.
And you're going to be breathing from your stomach so
make sure it isn't up in your chest.
This is a full like Santa, HO HO HO HO!
David: Okay... Danny: HO HO HO HO
And there's going to be a nice long intake, like maybe for four counts. I'm gonna count to four.
Ready, set...one, two, three, four.
David: What are we doing?
Umu: You're going to want to hear this [deep inhaling sound]
Like the friction against your hand.
[kirby appears]
Umu: Okay! Danny: Oh so it's supposed to expand?
Umu: Yes, yes you're expanding. You're going to want to see your stomach go out.
Danny: Okay, I got it!
Umu: Yeah, yeah? Danny: I think so?
Jarod: Yeah, so and then as far as like for the exhale, I would really concentrate, at least for the trumpet is just like
Think about just really controlling that exhale so that like so it's not just like a [fast exhale] but more of just—
So you breathe in...
[demonstrates slow, controlled exhale]
Umu: What I've been told for the horn is that you either want your face to look like Yoda or Donald Trump.
David: Oh.
Umu: So you have tight, tight, tight corners. (David: Donald Trump.)
Umu: And like loose, inner lip
['Hail to the Chief' plays]
Umu: Amazing.
Or like a cat's anus.
*meow*
David: I've never seen a cat's anus
Danny: specifically a cat's anus now
Umu: So what we're gonna do next is make sure that you know where your stream of air is going.
So we're going to...just, you can go—
At any speed breathing in,
and then [blows on paper]
Make sure you can get the paper to float (Danny: Oh okay, okay)
So we'll take turns
Strong, strong, strong, strong! Yeahhhh
Yay!
Umu: Yeah!
Jarod: Like think of like, in this case as far as where the breath should be pocketed, try breathing in through your nose and as,
like my teacher says, like "Smell the roses."
Jarod: it's like smelling your armpit
Jarod: Just how you know— David: That looks weird.
Umu: So now that we know where our air stream is going and we're blowing in,
I think we should concentrate on where our tongue should be.
Umu: No? Okay, we're moving!
Jarod: I want to get my mans on the horn. Danny: Okay
Because the thing is, is like— (Danny: Oh I'm excited!)
Jarod: Emma and I studied with two very different people.
It's like her teacher was very big on understanding the mechanics of everything that's going on here.
Whereas my professor was all about, "Just put the—" he goes, pardon my language,
Next thing I want to do, is just want to hand this to you. (Danny: Okay, and just play?)
Umu: What about this?
Umu: We need to make sure—Yes! Jarod: Nah.
Umu: Yes, yes! No? Oh come on.
Danny: This is a lot of pressure now. Jarod: Nah, don't worry about it (x2)
[Danny making successful trumpet sounds]
Jarod: Yeah!! We made a sound!
Umu: Dammit!!! David: What?!
Jarod: We win! We win! (David: That fast?)
Jarod: Nah you're fine (x3)
Danny: He's just messing me up!
Danny: [laughs] He's just messing me up!
David: Go uh go solo
[Danny blowing but no trumpet sound comes out]
David: Okay, that's good enough. (Jarod: Yeah)
Jarod: My teacher calls them "lip push-ups" where you just take it and just go
[David trying really hard]
Umu: Jarod...
Jarod: Yeah?
Jarod: Alright so the thing that I was telling uh...is just to really focus on the air (David: Yeah?)
And then right now we're talking about keeping the corners firm except you want to take two fingers like—
Let's put the horn down for a second (Umu: We did that.)
Jarod: Oh you did that?
Jarod: Just focusing on keeping these together.
And for the most part, even your front your lips are gonna be closed.
Because the aperture is gonna be pretty small.
Don't even think about the lips just think about the air to the instrument and connecting there.
And then the lips will vibrate in response
And as you slowly start to make sounds, like, remember how that feels—
[Danny successfully playing a note on the trumpet]
Jarod: Just keep rolling with it.
[Danny continues to successfully play]
Jarod: Yeah, exactly!
David: Why are you guys all watching me?
Umu: We're critiquing so we know what to say. *chaos*
Jarod: I'm going to play a note but I'm going to take the instrument off my face—
Jarod: He just played four notes!
Umu: Shut up!!
Umu: My instrument is harder than trumpet, alright?
Danny: Okay, what are we doing?
Umu: Yeah? I was demonstrating (David: I'm observing)
Umu: Observing.
Jarod: You just want him to play horn so he can make a sound!
Danny: I mean, this is not going to be over an hour,
This is not going to get done in an hour. (Umu: No, no)
Umu: If anything, we'll just get you to play notes and we'll call it,
**The Collab of the Century**
Danny: You guys play.
Umu: We play, that's it!!
Umu: Wanna trade?
Jarod: Yes! You just played the first three notes to BEAST!
Danny: This dude still can't play
Umu: Just blow the air and just go like that.
Danny: Oh, oh you made a sound!
Umu: That was my condensation...or that (Danny: That was my phone...it was a phone vibrating.)
*hello darkness my old friend*
Danny: Man, this is...
David: Wow... Umu: Take a rest!
David: This is hard! (Danny: Respect, respect)
Umu: I failed, I failed, I admit it!
Jarod: We'll do long tones
Danny: I'm so sorry, we're so untalented.
Umu: No, no it isn't your fault! David: I'm sorry, I'm sorry at least you did something)
Danny: I get that you guys had high expectations (Jarod: No no no.)
when you were saying like you were going to teach us in an hour.
Umu: *GASP* He made a squeak!!
Jarod: I think that's a W. (Danny: Oh really?)
David: Can you try it with this?
Jarod: Yeah that's it!
My man! My man, my man can make a sound on the French horn.
Pass it to him.
Danny: Can I try, the French horn?
David: could I kiss with you?
David: So I can know the feeling (Danny: The herpes????)
David: Oh you wanna (Danny: Yeah, yeah)
[Danny semi-successfully making French horn sounds]
Danny: Oh this is hard! David: I'm jealous.
David: I need to make a sound.
I mean, how long does it take for an average person?
David: Like how long did it take you? Danny: To make a sound? (Jarod: How long did it take you?)
Danny: 5 minutes Umu: The reason why...
David: Did you guys play before, like all of you?
Umu: Seiji! Try!
Umu: So, you're going to stick your hand through here,
and shelf David: I'll feel better if Seiji doesn't
Seiji: There's no way I'm going to be able to.
Umu: So (David: Please don't play, please don't beat me.) Tight corners, remember? (Danny: Okay, he's not going to play it. I can see it now.)
Umu: Trump face, remember? (Danny: I can see it now.)
[Seiji makes small French horn sounds]
*chaos*
Danny: Yeah!!!!!!!
Danny: Yes! Yes!
David: I am so sorry guys...
Umu: Frank your turn!!
Danny: Yeah, Frank can you, you—
David: Oh my fucking—
[more successful French horn first time soundmaking + chaotic reactions]
Danny: Yes, yes!
Umu: Maybe I shouldn't have taught you at all, just handed it to you and just like that's it.
Danny: Oh yeah, maybe, maybe
David: Maybe I'll just do it, like any way (Umu: You know what, just ignore everything I just said.)
Jarod: Have him sit in the chair, maybe it's the chair.
David: The chair, yeah, definitely the chair.
Danny: Oh the chair, the chair is the issue?
Jarod: It's 200% the chair. (David: Okay, now I'm ready.)
David: Okay, I'm just going to blow in it now.
[blooooooooowing]
David: Oh, wasn't it a sound?
Umu: One two three four one two
[Danny & David suddenly successfully playing 'Fiction']
SIKE
[blowing sounds]
[Umu trying to help and sing along in the background]
[more blowing sounds + Umu and Jarod singing along]
Jarod: Yeah!!
[Umu cheering]
[applause]
Danny: I wanna kill myself
Umu: One, two...one-two-three-four
[please enjoy beautiful trumpet & French horn playing by Jarod and Umu <3]
David: Woooooow!
[applause]
Jarod: No, you good job!! (Umu: Yeah!!)
David: Oh my god...
Umu: So...that was quite an experience, amazing last hour, we learned so much...so much.
Umu: We did so much.
David: I learned that I'm not talented in music so...in instruments.
Maybe that's why I stopped doing clarinet.
Danny: I thought it was easy, like trumpet was easy. I thought that was (David: Really?)
But now I see it's like, holy shit!
You guys are doing a lot
So uh, much respect!
David: Much respect, wow...
Umu: So, yeah, thanks for watching, I hope you found this entertaining!
Again, their socials are in the description if you want to see more goofing around and non-talented—
No I'm just kidding!
(Danny: Nobody going to want to see more untalented pieces of shit!) David: Nobody's going to follow me after this!
They're going to unsubscribe!
Danny: Talk about music, who don't know shit about music.
Umu: Well there are plenty of other people who don't play instruments, so like they'll find it more relatable, right?
David: You should try it yourselves too! Danny: You don't play trumpet too!
David: Before you judge, try it yourself!
(Danny: you're going to learn to play trumpet!) Umu: Yeah, if you don't play French horn or trumpet, you got to subscribe!
(Danny: Yeah, yeah come to DKDKTV!) So yeah, it only makes sense. Band together!
David: Buy a French horn and try it for yourself! It's seriously hard.
Danny: Buy a French horn (Umu: Buy $4,000) when you don't even know how to fucking play it?
Danny: That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard, okay.
Danny: And until next time, bye-bye!
Everyone: Bye-bye!!!!
I'm like-
Umu: Yep! Yeah girl, yeah girl you got it!
You got it! Sorry, David.
David: Ugh.....
Danny: whatever that is
Danny: Sorry
[David finally manages to make a sound!!]
PD: You're just blowing air onto me! *it's late at night so the horn has a practice mute in it*
Umu: Oh, that's something!
PD: Why are you impressed that he can make a sound?
David: Okay, I made a sound though!!
*takes practice mute out* [David continues to make sounds on French horn]
Umu: Dude, I couldn't hit those notes until like...my third year.
David: What?
David: Wow, I did it, okay. That's proof for your video, okay!
Danny: Good job David.
