Sometimes Brett reminds me of the kid at school who doesn't look like he's paying attention but then answers the teacher's question correctly when randomly called upon.
I relate to Brett in this regard
Yup, this was me.
I was actually not listening/day dreaming 😳
Well described.
Maybe hes brett ?😨
brett: *thinks ray is judging his playing* ray: "when did u last cut ur nails??"

WHEN DID HE SAY THAT PLEASE? I couldn't find ir
@@alessiagianinagesite9849 I found it! Thanks for answering ❤❤
😂
no better formulation existing
When Ray started doing his interpretations and Brett instantly got it right just proves that his brain is wired differently 😂😂😂
Fr that was impressive af, especially the second one. Ray really said let me completely change this piece and he still got it after ONE chord.
makes me think of his 'composing' videos.
@@sympostersyndrome I know right, I wouldn't have gotten that Bach gavotte from the first chord the way it was played and I know my Bach, I know that gavotte very well, not from playing it as a violinist, but from videos on musical form and gavottes using it.
@@sympostersyndrome Brett is a Bach violinist

I love the videos with Ray because he just embodies this archetype of the „talented, popular guy who seems intimidating but is actually really funny and nice“, and their group dynamic is very entertaining to watch.
apart from the fantastic playing he seems just like the guy next door to me
This is what love for music and a passion for violin is like. It's nice that they can share that together.
......nail on the head. Excellent
I love all three of them, that said, personality wise, Ray is more charismatic and refined. I would gladly pay to see any of them perform their craft.
I love how Ray’s presence makes Brett and Eddy try even harder. The bar was raised! Bravo everyone.
Yeah, in these games they usually barely try to play it right, they're like "whatever, you know what piece it is". In the presence of Ray, you see them genuinely doing their best to play beautifully, waiting for the approval of their Sensei... 😄
I know right? Like dude, I'm a casual viewer of them and even though I don't know much about how to play musical instruments I can sorta tell that when Brett and Eddy played there were not much faults that I can find in their playing
its probably more like they don't want to insta that nya pose. But yeah seeing them together feels like they are amazing
I love how Eddy doesn't even question if Ray is playing correctly, like both Brett and Eddy are just enjoying his beautiful playing. But when Brett is playing, Eddy so carefully scrutinises the piece 😆😅
I just wanted to ask, where was that pfp taken?? It looks suspiciously similar to the shrine thing thats in my country...

Imagine if an audience at a concert reacted the same way Eddy and Brett react to a wrong note 😭
I would CRY
Anarchist orchestra. The conductor stops the performance and you challenge them to a playoff for their position in the ensemble. No hiring or recruitments, only death matches.
@@kishascapethey gotta make an anime on this
@@kishascape This would be hysterical fun! The shows would sell out!
Ray: "I´ll be gentle" Also Ray: *Procedes to bully Eddy into speechlessness *
Plot twist; They invited ray over just to hear him play. There was never a real competition, they just used Ray's competitive nature to lure him back for another appearance.
Who wouldn't?
It is known. Similar to Hilary Hahn. :)
Things I love: 1. TwoSet feat. Ray videos 2. TwoSet videos longer than 20 min. 3. TwoSet musical competitions 😍
4. Twoset feat. Hillary Hahn Brett is always so hyper and fangirling in those😂😂
5. TwoSet's random cam cutoff moments.

Where's the Violin Charades at!?
YES! YES! More of this pleassseeee
I love how batshit crazy twoset get when Ray makes a mistake.
My favorite part is that Ray's terrible reaction time actually gives Brett and Eddy a fighting chance 😂
Yeah. It's also why I know not to bother trying violin even though I always wanted to learn.
It’s always a great day when you collab with Ray, man’s an absolute legend.
no likes for ur comment? Lmao, thats a first time
@@hermionegranger5084 for real
@@neonladd lol soon its gonna go viral its a must
Great video
True
I never see Brett so competitive in a game. Ray Chen can easy makes Brett and Eddy fly up to another level of competitive with his skill and roast. It's really fun to see three of them together. Thank you Ray!!!
I think he really wanted to avoid the punishment... which he got anyway ! 😄
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia I'd wager it's more likely they wanted Ray to receive the punishment more than to avoid it themselves.
@@Lodinn Well, I personally wouldn't have been against a picture of Ray with cat ears, they could even have drawn him some whiskers... 😅
i think hes pretty competitive sometimes
I love that for the Paganini piece at 21:00 they leap on Ray's one wrong note but while Brett was playing Eddy was like "I got loyalty inside my DNA ✊"
Trueee
He wanted to see ray in cat ears
Ray's Aussie accent coming out is the funniest thing at the end when he goes "NOERRR" 🤣
11:36 I love how Ray can just talk casually while playing a freaking solo.
Yeah, I noticed that too!
To be fair this is the easiest part of the easiest violin concertos (the serious ones a soloist would play)
@@MattB90 bach concertos?
This was not dificult. It´s a slow passage, he is just holding one note as he speaks.
holy shit i actually didnt notice how tf does he do that
Ray fits into the dynamic with these guys so well. He is hilarious ribbing these guys in good fun.
Yea, by himself he's also amazing, a great showman with his concerts as well
As a member of the vocal gang (and a baritone at that), I felt Ray's "that's if you can reach the note" at 8:27 in my BONES. 😭
Vocal gang!
Also felt that
when it hits too close to home 😭
Pain
As a bass I felt this is my soul
I will always be in awe of how much music you guys have memorized.
YES.
Love how Ray's natural accent comes back out when he's hangin around fellow Aussies
Right? The way he says “no!” changes completely!
I also detect a bit of Taiwanese accents when Ray is hanging out with Two Sets
"nawr!" 😂
I'm surprised to see how much Eddy and Ray bully each other XD A dynamic I did not expect but definitely need more of!! Esp the burn at 8:27 had me dyingg laughing. Brett's too nice to roast Eddy but wow Ray does not hesitate🤣🤣
They've known each other for over 10 years, when Ray's here the channel automatically transforms itself into ThreeSet. 😊
We love Threeset❤
@@juniper1059 Yes, we do ! 😆💖
what did he say at 8:27? i'm HoH so sometimes i can't make it all out
but when eddy hit the note and gave that sassy "what now" look. comedy gold
8:29 Ray savage AF ‘that’s if you can reach the note’. A+ trash talking.
Ikrrrr I was laughing my head off 😂😂😂
22:55 ray had the most australian “no” ever
NUŒOERRR
i don't know why but i couldn't stop giggling at ray shaking his hips as he played the "Chinese" Sibelius, love how much fun these guys are having with this 😄
I didn't get the joke on that one. I'm a trombonist, but I'm not a good 'joke getter' in the first place.
@@JeffO- the way brett played it (in one bow) made it sound like a slow chinese piece
@@nicothefae Thanks. White trombone guy didn't understand.
This is my favourite part of the video, I come back to look at it and laugh 🤣
What a crackup, I lost it.
"Ray is who our parents wished we'll be on the violin." Not just your parents... I think everyone wished he/she was Ray...
I guess that since they have a very similar background (born in Taiwan, grew up in Brisbane, same age group), Ray is kind of their personal "Ling Ling", the one whom their parents may have compared them to...
yep
u can just say *they were
I wish I was Ray
It's crazy how Ray can keep eye contact with both Eddy & Brett but they can't even keep eye contact with each other 😂
They know they'll burst out laughing if they do... 😄
the "master of cursed music" title for brett was phenomenal, as always editor-san making me laugh to death loool
This is more like a free concert for us to appreciate/make our lives better instead of just a game! I stan BED (Brett Eddy and Ray) lol!
isn’t it supposed to be BER or something haha
@@hermionegranger5084 lol Because he used D major chord in the video, so Re (Ray).
@@simplytwosetteryup i suppose lol
@@simplytwosetter oh thank you, I was so confused as to why he chose that chord
I would say, BEAR. 😄😅
Ray is now at a professional level of switching between an American accent and an Australian accent 😁
I felt like its a mix of both sometimes and were enjoying it 🤣
You have to do that in the USA, cos otherwise they don't comprehend. Unless you mimic their accent and syntax exactly, it's crickets.
@@MrScrofulous I live in the USA and that’s exactly what I do haha. But it might because I acquired an American accent when I first learned English, also I do hear a lot of foreign ppl around me speaking all kinds of accents and the Americans understand them well so…

Yeah right 😂 also love your profile picture 😉
I'm so impressed by all of them, but I'm also just laughing endlessly at brett squatting in the corner of the frame to play paganini 24 lol 21:15
Seeing the dynamic between Eddy and Ray is honestly so interesting because it's such a stark contrast to how he and Brett behave with one another.
It’s so weird hearing Ray with an Australian accent. Usually his American accent is so strong.
when he said "Noor" at the end it was so prominent
Yeah is accent seems to swap depending on who he's with, I've noticed similar things with Hawaiians who speak pidgin and have their accents come out more when going back to hawaii
@@ethanma3916 its so weird that accents work. I'm from the MN and when I'm around my family (we don't have prominent accents) my accent isn't noticeable, but if we go north and are around others that have heavy accents, all of a sudden I'm speaking like a stereotypical Minnesotan. Its really cool to look into
That's pretty common if you lived in different countries. I have 2 accents and have lived in 2 countries. 😅
@@ethanma3916 Linguists call it code switching. Everyone does it to a certain extent (for example, imagine how you talk to your coworkers differently than with your family), but sometimes it's more obvious than others
Alternative title: Ray Chen roasting Eddy Chen for 23 minutes straight.
I love that they can have normal conversations and trash talk each other whilst playing these beautiful excerpts
Ray's lil dancey dance while playing at 9:29 had me genuinely dying. I have entered my grave now.
22:55 Literally the mostt Australian NAURR I've ever heard 😂 Loved this video! Its always great when you guys collab together. Now will be waiting patiently for Ray's video too!
Lmaoo i just noticed 💀💀
Lol yeah
Ray's "no" at the end is the most Australian thing I have ever heard ❤😂
Having watched his channel I'm so thrown off by the Australian-ness in that NAUR
Man, Ray Chen is just so ridiculously good. Every time he starts playing is just stunning. Great video, and must have been a blast to get to make it! Thanks for sharing :)
I could notice two things: -Ray’s gestures are part of his playing; which I love -Someone has been practicing a lot the Mendelssohn 😻 can’t wait for it!!

Upvote this to the fking max. I need this to reference in the future when I come back to this
would you look at this, all my favorite moments in one comment. thank you
I really love the chemistry between these three; I could easily imagine a universe where he makes it threesetviolin
My favorite musical musketeers on YT
Agree completely. FYI, it's "among," between is only when 2 are considered.😉
Ray: "It's okay, I'll be gentle" caresses the air next to Eddy's head 😭😂 Also Ray: mercilessly roasts Eddy the whole time
This might be my favorite twoset video ever. The natural chemistry between brett and eddy is actually intensified with ray and the game shows off everyone's strengths.
I absolutely LOVE how competitive Ray is. He is an astounding musician and totally was nice to Brett and Eddy when he totally could've schooled them. This was BY FAR one of my favorite videos.
Their skills are so far apart that it's really easy for things to become awkward. Huge props to Ray for carrying himself with grace and giving us such a fun time.
And then for Ray to successfully roast them without coming off as superior is really something!
Ray is a fabulous musician, and also a fabulous person. He did flex on them a little, but all in fun.
These three are like real brothers in life, the oldest always roasts like no others along with being super supportive and encouraging, the middle is basically laughing and having his time in life (and being CUTE Nya), the youngest... em.. that's the vibe of Eddy 🤓
Brett, Eddy, you two guys are astoundingly addictive in a good way. Your demeanor has drawn over 1.5 billion total views of your hard work which sings out to other like minded people to give us pleasure, entertainment, and earnest comedy (which puts your productivity at your coveted Ling-Ling level of success 🎻😱). I'm sure that y'all gain experience and, therefore, syrgenic purpose in your lives. Thank you for sharing what amounts to pleasurable contact with a missed community of violinists and musicians throughout the world, Gary.
Yes I agree with you. They are truly addictive in a good way. wow
But seriously Brett looks so cute with those cat ears 🥺🥺🥺😭
Eddy: “I’m so nervous!” Ray: “Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle.” Fanfic writers: “Write that down! Write that down!”

🤣🤣🤣I definitely write that down for my own amusement
STOOPP-

eddy wouldnt be happy to see this HAHAHAHHAHHAHAHA
When Eddy said the punishment is a maid cat ears selfie, I already know who was the loser😂
Brett waving his bow from the ground gives me pure joy. 21:00 :)
18:35 "You know what, I kind of don't want Brett to lose." 21:29 "I didn't hear a single wrong note. Sounded perfect to me." Aw....
I swear, if they get a copyright claim on this video too, I will not hesitate to scream into a pillow. TwoSet is a amazing and quite frankly, the more you abuse the copyright setting on KZhead, the more you anger the TwoSet fandom!! BUBBLE TEA DRINKERS UNITE!! LETS ALL SCREAM INTO PILLOWS!
yessir!!
yessir!
Why exactly would there be a copyright claim...?
@@liamnevilleviolist1809 great question- classical music isn’t under any copyright laws, is it?
@@Miipmiip I believe it's because random companies like to make claims that they are actually using audio from other people's performances and "covering up" twoset's performance
I like how any musician on this channel has their own "focus face." Ray's is brow together, centre scrunched down. Eddy is brow together, centre pushed up. Brett, I think he has two. The Big Eyes (TM) and closed eyes.
I'm marking 18:40 as my favourite moments of Brett
Ikr, what a cursed genius cutie
That iNtErEsTiNg at 18:30 was so iconic
Rays Australian accent returns when he hangs out with Twoset.
managed to recognise wayy more pieces than I would’ve before watching twoset and starting to listen to more pieces. thank you brett and eddy for introducing us to the world of classical music :D
I'm surprised I was able to tell "it's Scheherazade" when I don't even know how to spell Scheherazade 😅
facts.
Truly an educational experience!
I love it when eddie goes chimpanzee mode at 21:44 HAHAHAHAH
Imagine knowing a piece so well you could play it perfectly from memory at a moment's notice. I know it's something we're all used to by now but it's still amazing. Props to TwoSet and Ray.
I love how competitive Eddy gets it's so funny hahah! His sheer joy at catching Ray playing a wrong note is brilliant. Lovely video as always!
Ahh Ray Chen's playing against the married couple again.
When Ray said "It's okay I'll be gentle." uwu
Remember girls , find a man that looks at you like Ray looks at Eddy 22:12
Brett's full anxiety when Ray is watching him play the first time. You can see the fear in his eyes. Ray makes me nervous and I don't even play anymore. Everyone did a good job.
This just made my six-year-old pick up his violin and want to practice to be like you guys, it was awesome.
They inspire SO many - of all ages!
Aw, that's so sweet... Kids are definitely more motivated when they see how much fun you can have with an instrument. Best wishes to the little guy, hopes he keeps this mindset ! 😊💕
Mission accomplished.
14:27: that was one of the most Australian "Noes" ever
I love how Ray always looks like surprised by what his fingers are doing.
Oh, this is epic! I love big brother Ray being merciless to his younger siblings. The sledging… Eddy’s air violin… and of course, the nya!
nya 😡

17:56 It isn't editor san if she doesn't remind us she exists.
I really love at 22:55 ray’s reaction towards brett plea. Shooting it from the back and that angle really looks like hes scolding and torturing brett deep into his soul HAHAH
Brett's laughs fom 17:07 carried so much innocence😂❤️
It’s been a while since we have seen Ray! Glad to see the relationships are still strong as usual! Hopefully more collabs come soon. :)
Ray boosts Brett's and Eddy's expressiveness just by being in the room. Thank you for this hilarious episode!
Brett, if you are watching this bro, this kind of mushroom hairstyle really suits you
"WHO DOES THAT IN ONE BOW??!!" HAHAHA love Ray
I love how they start to chaotically laugh when Ray misses one note 😂
19:42 Brett = "master of cursed music" XD
I love the Ray + Twoset collabs. Hillary's are great too but Ray and them have so much chemistry. Not to mention that they can keep up with one like THE best soloists of the millennial generation. So much fun.
The reason why Brett let down Ray Chen's offer to play instead of him is he wanted to enjoy Ray's playing.
Brett has achieved 'Piece Perfect' with those interpretations from Ray, insane how fast he got them.
It's like a masterclass with trash talk. I think this should be the new standard for masterclasses. lol
😍 Aww he looks so cute with the cat ears.
Ray: Can you even reach the note? Eddy: 😮 too stunned to speak… Brett losing it on the floor: maybe if let them fight it out, I can win. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
