What being a percussionist is REALLY like... (Classical Percussionist Reacts To @twosetviolin )

How do you make money as a percussionist? how does it pay? I dream of making a living being a performing percussionist but idk if its possible

This takes me back to Suite of Old American Dances where I had to wait over 100 measures just to play Octave C's on the xylophone. I mean seriously, if you're going to make me wait that long for just one note, just cut the part.

My HS band played this song twice...

Flew over her from TwoSet. Great video! I love learning about all the different instruments.
Huge respect to your marimba playing dude! Wow 🤩

Ahhhh how i love being both a percussionist and a violinist (and a pianist and i play drum set) but its literally best of both worlds (and worst too ig)

Why do Asians radiate so much cheerfulness? I immediately subscribed

This was a fun video! You were very clear and pleasant to listen to and I enjoyed hearing about the percussionist point of view 😊
Was brought into the classical world by Twoset as well and I'm really having fun learning more about it 😆

Dynamics on percussion? I mean let's face it, brass are the ones needing roasted on dynamics! Ever hear a trumpet playing pp?

I am thinking about being a symphonic composer, what difficulties i will have if i chose this carrer?

I thought this was Two Set attempting to be percussionists.

I was about to watch very "high-brow-percussionly." LOL

Interessttrring....😄

That triangle playing always hurt my soul

I don't think 2 set knows that the VIBRAPHONE exists

He did not got angry at the video, he actually commented and laughed at The Two set jokes.......you have earned the subscription, the like and the views.

Ooh ooooh ooooh you got me at the interesting

Just found your channel, loved the video, super funny haha :) Subscribed!

I found your channel the other day and I'm loving it! (I'm an oboist but I briefly joined my school's percussion ensemble on vibes and I miss it)

So surprise to know waving and scraping triangle are legit things lol. I thought it was just for roasting. Wow I'm educated!

Hey Adam! I'm a music educator in training and really want to make education videos but am not sure how to do it. Do you have any advice for me, if so it will be much appreciated. I'm really enjoying all of your content from the mallet reviews to the marching arts reaction videos to the vlogs, btw you should totally start making those once this pandemic is over. Please keep up the amazing work and I hope you have a great day!!!

I once played an Opera where we pretty much only had one really big place to play, but of course some smaller percussion places. And there was literally no place for chairs, there was barely space for us to even play. So after a while, those of us who were playing the melodical percussion parts just started sitting like underneath the marimba & xylophone on the floor, whilst the snare player sat on the stairs that lead up to the side of the stage xD

Wait you guys getting chairs? In mine only the drummer and the timpani player get chairs

I double checked that my playback speed is not 2x. That said, I like this video.

I'm arranging for a percussion section in one of my orchestras and i always feel super bad when i give them tacet lmao

Twoset has been very kind to the percussionists so far...I’m very grateful for that 😂

Don’t take them seriously

in highschool over the summer, I wanted to pick up an instrument and I was glad my high school band instructor would come in, even though it was just 2 or 3 students. I have no idea why he would come in for such a small class. Anyway, he tried to teach me to play the snare drum and lord have mery. i had no sense of rhythm or time. my left wrist would not listen..im like sorry not this instrument. I have deep respect for the precussion. I ended up playing clarinet for marching band and concert band.

UwU

Waiting for the collabb😏😏

Hi came across your channel. you make well informed videos! Subbing

Randomly pop up on my recommendation video but I love it 😆🤣🤣

hehe... TwoSet is from Brisbane! =P but great stuff. feel like I learn more when people react to TwoSet videos.

I love their Bruckner video loool it’s hilarious

You should watch EMCproductions, he does this sort of thing a lot

this man is the nicest peroson evere😙

My favorite subset of Twoset videos are watching other musicians react to them. I really wish they'd do more collabs!

Great video! TwoSet should invite you as an expert.

Can I just say your video is awesome! That editing is so hilarious!

So cool to learn about more instruments thanks dude

This was an interesting video, but I would have enjoyed it far more if you had actually demonstrated some of the techniques you talked about.

Could please you do a review of the jet percussion rubber mallets for the marimba and xylophone.

I played field battery, front ensemble, and then saxophone during concert season. I played orchestral percussion once ... ONCE!

THE CROSSOVER I HAVE DREAMED OF

How are you not a MASSIVE channel yet!? Consider me a new fan!

percussionists are a different kind of breed

The collab we've all been waiting for

Hi! Nice video, il follow both of you. I was asking myself if you could told me a little about how it is the orchestral world in australia, I dont know any australian orchestra. There are plenty of then? They make percussion auditions often? Which its in your opinion the best orchestra of australia?

Thanks a lot for all your content!

Ps: Im a venezuelan percussion student in france

Adam as you probably already know I’m a timpanist, and from us timpanists we want to say sorry for not getting a chair!!!!!
