"i thought you guys go everywhere together" FINALLY WE HAVE THE SEQUEL TO "playing with you guys is like playing with a couple...who's been married"
OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN RAY
I NEED TO KNOW WHICH VIDEO IT IS IN OMG
@@pequenayalegreseta8779 Yeah it’s impersonating famous violinists

Uncle Ray just casually sipping his tea while chatting and not caring how this "game" supposed to be.
HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA
He's too old to stick to the gimmick of the video 🤣
Maybe the tea was really good
May be you know backgrounds music?
You mean NEPHEW Ray Chen
Love how Ray's accent really comes out when he's with other Australians.
I noticed that, too.
I'm glad he's back to his Aussie accent, I was disappointed to hear him with an American accent lol.
@@yukiefromoz2573 is there a link to his american accent?
@@tor13128 He has a CZcams channel where you can clearly hear his American accent. I was kinda surprised to hear him speak with an Australian accent here and the previous video, I'm used to his American one loll
He grew up in Australia but moved to America at like 15 or something so he can have either accent.
I love Ray, he's so chatty. It feels like watching a happy family together.
He's that chill, fun older cousin😎
May be you know backgrounds music?
Yess he's so chill with Twoset that I keep forgetting hes a world class soloist
Tao :0
TAO
Love how these guys just casually have a world-class soloist as a friend of theirs 😂
(and of course Hilary, Benny, Chloe, Kavakos, Augustin, Lang Lang, James, Vengerov, Janine and many other more XD)
because they are old friends!
Correction: multiple world class soloists lol😂can’t forget Hilary
@@saflanix And Benny!
@@saflanix Maxim Vengerov was pretty friendly with them, too
@@saflanix yeah!😂😂
While Ray was telling the story about the broken bow/him dropping it, every time he said something I thought it couldn't get worse- and then it did
yes, it sounded reeeally bad. like when he was thinking about how many concerts he'd have to play until it would be paid off 😭 i wish they'd have elaborated a little bit on that bow though. can someone explain the story of this particular bow, please?
@@MK-ro4ff its a Peccatte (super expensive antique french bow) once used by Arthur Grumiaux. You know the version of Gavotte En Rondeau that's on the Voyager leaving the solar system? Arthur Grumiaux played it and there's a high probability it might have been played using that bow. A piece of history gone like that.
@@MK-ro4ff The bow was owned by Arthur Grumiaux, who was a great Belgian violinist, now best known for his recordings of Bach, Mozart, etc. The maker of the bow is Dominique Peccatte, who is considered one of the best of all time, so you can imagine the value of that bow ...
@@fireplace2330 thanks a lot, fireplace and brandon lee! man, that must have felt terrible for ray even though it wasn't his fault 😳😟
May be you know backgrounds music?
9:46 “have you went to a concert alone?”
brett & eddy “i think i have”
ray: “oh i thought u guys go everywhere together”
honestly ray, same 😂 loll
He's the captain of the ship. If you know what I mean-
If one is performing and another is in the audience, does it count as going alone or together, hm...?🤔
May be you know backgrounds music?
this is so creepy, that EXACT PART just played as soon as i read the comment..WHAT-
brett: "nah I've been to a concert alone, yea, I have"
eddy: "WHO? Whose concert?!"
Must be an honor for Ray to be able to work with these two legendary violinists
@Liebesträume it’s a joke ok. Get some humor
@Liebesträume r/whoosh
May be you know backgrounds music?
yes
@@conscribe838 He didnt say that the commenter was wrong lmao
ray's mom's tactic is EXACTLY how my mom used to get me to play piano. she would always be like "you don't want to practice? okay. fine. you can quit. you can quit piano." and i'd be like "... wait... i didn't mean it like that......"
asian moms have mastered reverse psychology
And apparently Ray's mom used exactly the same tactic on his sister and his sister promptly quit playing.
My mum does this too 😭😭
I just told my daughter that 5 minutes ago.
That would have never worked on me since she was the person to make me start playing in the first place LOL
Would not have worked on me, I wanted to quit for years, I would have peaced out at once. I know I would, cause my coach said I may as well quite gymnastics cause I’ll never be in the olympics, so I never turned up again cause I wanted to quit anyway
Eddy: knocked Brett’s bow to the ground in one video
Also Eddy: Not taking a sip
Video:how violin techniques were invented
@@Arcenmh7718 Bingo!
It wasn't Eddy, it was Tiger Mom... 😆
brett：memory slip for Tchaikovsky 2mil
Also Brett: seems like didn’t remember this at all
@@daisy-yz5rw another memory slip 😆
Ray's mum needs to write a book on parenting.... for future reference.
May be you know backgrounds music?
I think she genuinely wanted him to quit, since she didn’t approve his musical career
@@mohammadbayazid5064 I'm Asian, I know how it works, but her methods produced a hard worker. Reverse psychology is a thing.
Years ago a friend was trying to get her little kid to perform violin for a group of us, and she was being shy. My Mom smiled and said, "Ok, put it away then", and certain folk in the room thought this was a terrible thing to say, but lo and behold, suddenly the little girl's shyness disappeared and she played. My mom winked at us and said, "I didn't have all my kids for nothing!"
That’s so sweet! She just gave the little girl the agency to say ‘no’ and in doing so encouraged her to say ‘actually, yes!’.
I think part of Ray's cool/chill personality is from his mom!! Such a straightforward and cool mom!! Lots of respect to Ray's mom and ofc to Ray!!
It's nearly impossible to NOT find u in a twoset violin comment section. Reply if u agree.
@@pietroanimates533 if u agree
@@pietroanimates533 yeah I sorta comment on all their videos cause I'm a fan lol
@@pietroanimates533 with “lots of respect” 😂
@@simplytwosetter I can see that lol
I love how Brett reacts with the same enthusiasm to Eddy's stories even though he already shared them before. Peak BFF behavior right there folks.
Yes I love their relationship! They're so lucky to have found each other
ray's accent becomes SO australian when he's with brett and eddy

@@alexandraoganova1195 Fauré's Pavane
Eddy is so traumatized by that conductor and for the rest of the video he’s just leaning on the wall and looks like he’s dead inside 😂
Emotional damage. 😐
I know, I felt so sorry for him. 😔
@@LingLingWannabe-bx5ud me too
Yeah I may be kind of outskirts on this opinion but, no conductor no matter how world class has a valid excuse to demean musicians. Not one.
@@nocontender6409 Agree. Personal insult in any form should be a taboo.
Imagine if Brett and Eddy had bubble tea instead of tea and Ray was the only one with tea because he is an aged senior. Ray would've been so jealous.
I like how "aged senior" Ray is only 3 years older than Brett... 😅

@@alexandraoganova1195 There are several pieces as BGM in this video. Do you want to know the music at a specific timestamp ?
Thank you so much! Just in begging. I already got it! List Hungarian rupsody 2

"I thought you two go everywhere together"
Once again, ladies and gents, Ray Chen: President of BrEddy Fanclub XD
Captain of the breddy ship ------ Ray Chen
We salute you Captain Ray!!!!
I mean they really do make it look like that sometimes haha
But it was funny none could remember what they went to or when 😂
Ray Chen: "this is not a presentation of who I am"
Also Ray Chen: spilled the tea about how he got to play his teacher's violin, how he got to play with his crush, how he was being so sassy at age 12 in a youth orchestra 😂
I need more content like this XD
I love that Ray has a pretty neutral American accent for the first part, but he hangs out with Twoset and they bring out his Aussie Accent lol
Never have I ever seen Ray blush so hard as he did when talking about his experience in youth orchestra when he was 12. 😊
No but I did a similar thing when I was that age because I was mad at my sister and I am so ashamed of it now! I wouldn't dream of making a comment like that because it's so rude to the rest of the orchestra and the conductor. But you don't think of this when you're 12, lol!
Imagine if they did a collab with Ray AND Hilary... that'd be epic
yes. we need that. please!!!
wheeeeeeeeee!🙂
They should just get all their world class friends for an epic collab
That would seriously be the best! Both Ray and Hilary are in Australia rn so I'm really hoping that it does happen!!!
They should go out to eat and talk.
I'm just in the first minute of watching this and I'm already smiling! It's like having the three of them casually chatting in a coffee(tea)shop and we are eavesdropping at the other table 😆😆😆
May be you know backgrounds music?
That's the way it is with B&E - like we're in the same room together and they're just casually sharing stuff. Love how they're so natural and unpretentious...
So he played his teacher's violin, got his crush to play an ensemble with him and actually had he balls to make suggestions on how an expert should play when he was 12
Is Ray the most badass Violinist of modern era 😎
Not only he's badass! He's funy and adorable from my eyes!!!
"I thought you guys go everywhere together" yep, Thank you Ray.
As a tall lanky 6'3" conductor with long arms, I've learned to be SUPER careful walking thru an orchestra to get to the podium, especially in the pit (I do mostly opera.) It's a mine field of disasters waiting to happen if your arm or leg brushes an instrument. I've never knocked anything over, thank God. But once when I was a newbie conductor, the baton did fly out of my hand and landed in the second violin section. No damage was inflicted and we could all laugh about it later. And I made sure it never ever happened again. We conductors can be dangerous, musically and physically HAHA!
I'm just picturing you, your arms alongside your body, making little steps and brushing the wall to get to the podium in fear of getting close to any instrument, and for some reason I find it hilarious... 😅
I'm not a conductor but i feel you when walking thru the glassware aisle, make sure to wrap my hand SO TIGHT lolll
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia HAHA! It is. the problem is that most pit entrances are in the back behind the whole brass section near one corner....so you are forced to walk thru the brass, then whatever strings and winds are next to get to that podium. Usually the players are really good about making a pathway for you if they know it's tight, and if so, I always talk to them (especially string players) to let them know I'll be walking by them to get in and out each performance.
Is there some sort of rope that ties the baton to the wrist, like a camera? Why isn’t that a thing? I feel like flying baton is common enough to warrant such a contraption.
@@notepadpowersnail1860 I'm sorry but I find that idea hilarious (although not stupid) because all I can think of is that it would look like a Wiimote.
I love how threeset casually just chatting about the questions lol! Love Rays chatty personality
May be you know backgrounds music?
@@alexandraoganova1195 sorry I don’t so sorry!
I like how Ray is just drinking tea to drink tea 😂
At 5:18 I thought Ray was gonna say “Really? You guys didn’t practice before lessons?” But instead he said “Your parents didn’t make you practice?” and I laughed so hard lmaooo that’s so Asian of them
Ray being his Australian self with these two
The comparison between Unis beggining from 4:20 is pure GOLD. Then Ray goes "that's primitive" and I am DEAD.
Brett: No Ive been to concerts alone.
Eddy: Who, whos concert?
Eddy being the concerned wife of the two.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THAT POINT 😂
I had a super-human perception of Ray, i thought he was always perfect and never made mistakes during perfomances etc...
Now i'm a little relieved to see that even the world class soloists had their hard times and made mistakes but they kept going and worked even harder! Thanks guys=)❤
May be you know backgrounds music?
15:46 Legend says that Eddy is still maintaining that position and thinking about his life lol /jk. I feel bad for Eddy tbh, I was also traumatized by my mom's attitude every time I finished my piano recital, and I eventually quit and never want to get back to learning piano again. I know Eddy may not see this, but if you do, you know you are doing great now, right, and you are not the one who should suffer. You are awesome!
It took me years to get back to playing the piano. Too much emotional damage. I hope you will too, some day.
I was looking for this comment. Eddy looks really pensive at the end. I really wonder what he was thinking.
Don't force yourself to get back into it but if you ever stop feel like trying it again, you should give it a go:)
Ray is such a cool person to hang out with
May be you know backgrounds music?
eddy telling the same joke or story for the a hundredth time:
Brett: ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
Yeah! 😆 That's pure friendship right there 🥰
It's so cute
💀💀💀💀💀
I love them
Imagine- The next video with Ray Chen: "Hello guys, welcome to ThreeSetViolin"
We can hope
@@foxjacket hope deez nuts
Okay,imagine that...then hilary just pops out of nowhere and says "Foursetviolin!!!!"
@@12christopher25 That gonna be a freaking full of *entertainment* video right there! ☆⌒(ゝ。∂)
The funny thing is, when I go to school, no one there really knows TwoSet. But I just got back from a NCO music residential and basically everyone there has like a TwoSet sticker, merch or whatever. And we talk about you guys sooo much. This is like an under 13's camp, so I just wanted to let you know just how much you inspire young musicians :) Everyone loves you guys in NCO!
This is so wholesome🥺 Thank you for sharing!!!
Aaww nice. And what does NCO stand for?
@@susanbryant6516 Nco stands for National Children's Orchestra (in the UK).
The people in your school know Twoset, it is just that they are violists.
Can I just say that I've only ever met two TwoSet fans (that I knew were fans) and it turned out NONE of us play any instruments xD Perhaps I don't see many visible fans with merch on because having stuff shipped here from Australia is insanely expensive and before you know it, your t-shirt costs you 200% more than the actual price in customs fees and VAT ;_;
I like what Ray says at 8:17
Accountability
Praise and encouragement
Friendly competition
That is a perfect brew of learning👌🏽
Did we just… get two videos in a row of ray chen with twoset?
Am I dreaming or something?
that’s what i’m saying :0
It was a great weekend😌
eddy at the end of the video was still thinking about that traumatizing conductor experience ... his soul evacuated the premises
I love how Ray's accent comes back lol
Ray was quite cheeky when he was a kid. 😂 And his mom is so powerful with her reverse psychology! 😳 His EQ is so good too; asking if it's okay to laugh about the 💩 story. He was also sensitive like that when Brett imitated Eddy's playing (shaky bow, dancing) in that Guess the Violinist video and he didn't want to guess the violinist. I would love to hear more of Ray's music journey and stories, e.g. when he was a kid, in Curtis, etc.
Do you know what Ray said at 9:24 because i couldn't make out what he said.
@@sinchi7741He said, it was the concert master. After that, I don't know what he said. I guess he was pretty cheeky to tell the concert master how to play. 😆
@@sinchi7741 "he was the concert master of our old orchestra," then Eddy says his name which is why it bleeps
@@sinchi7741 "The concertmaster...*censored name*"
I believe it was just a joke between the three of them since they mentioned the concertmaster as someone they knew--like "THAT guy said that to you?!" kind of thing🤷
I like how they just called ray ‘an aged senior’😂😂
(Sorry ray we still love you!)
Especially since he's only 3 years older than Brett ! 😄
Ray has such a fitting name. He is really is a big fat ray of sunshine 😊
Eddy is so cute without glasses leaning on the wall and got patted on belly by Ray hahaha.
Thank God it was Ray and not Brett. The shippers would have exploded.
Ray & Eddy, also an iNtEreSTING shipping😏 (jk
@@jywang8637 Hmm. There was some video I saw (I think it was on some social of Ray's) where he's going down a corridor towards a group of people. Brett and Eddy are among the group, but not actually together. Eddy runs forward and greets Ray with a big hug. 🤔😂
@@elissahunt hmmm🤔That's sus lol
I love how we've all heared the airport story thousand times now and ray is just learning it now
I rarely hear Ray sounding so Australian and I'm living for that
their videos could be hours long and they would still feel too short aaaashjdkf i love them sm
0:27
Eddy: we already have bubble tea today
Auto-generated subtitle: we already have vodka today
When Eddy said his 17 yo self lost to a 14 yo girl in a competition, my heart pained hard 😭😂
I checked and Ray won this competition when he was 13. I better understand why Brett and Eddy describe him as "what our parents wish we were"...
Rookies... Whenever I have a crush on a musician, I compose a piece for their instrument accompanied by piano (my instrument) and play it with them.
OK, you win the game... 😄
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia I've had a crush on a flutist, a clarinetist and a singer. Now I have pieces for piano and flute, piano and clarinet, and piano and voice. No success so far, but I'm gonna keep trying. 🙃
@@late8641 LOL, at least you're improving your composing skills. 😅
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia That's true, so I feel like I can't lose with this technique.
I really live their friendship, they‘re actually like the ultimate violin squad 😂😂😂
Ray be finishing that tea while the chat goes on regardless of the game😂
3 incredible musicians in one frame
2:44 this story gets worse and worse with every word 😂😂😂
I love how Ray has achieved a balance between roasting them and just being a violin god while still seeming genuinely humble and self aware
1:10
eddy : i forgot my violin when i was like 13 .
editor-san : so , no improvement in 16 years .
i laughed so hard🤣
Thank you Twoset for helping us to get to know Ray better.
12:21 The way Brett's voice jumps 2 octaves when he says "hold it in" 🤣🤣🤣
Haha
We need a reaction-video to conductors hitting the soloists!
Another “try not to cringe” video!
I'm so glad ThreeSetViolin is back-
"who?? whose concert?? 😡" 9:53"
They sound like middle aged moms who were friends in collage, meeting up and talking about “fun stories” drinking wine
Never have I ever dropped my instruments.
Pianists: 👀
ngl Ray patting Eddy's stomach as a gesture of saying sorry was very cute
I’ve only watched the intro and know this is going to be hilarious 😂
Edit: It was! I love this trio
0:41 yeah I think so. Lol
more Ray content lamfjsjjg 👁 also the fact that Eddy called him an aged senior or smth 😭😭
9:46 The Golden Moment: "I thought you guys go everywhere together." :D
Ray is soooo cheeky! I love it!
I'm not ready to let twoset and ray go yet 😭😭 i'm gonna miss this collab. Who knows when's the next one 😭😭😭
Listening to their stories is very interesting! We need more three set violin!!😆
Imagine Ray dropping the Strad XD...
Edit: but dropping that Arthur Grumiaux bow is not really less shocking.
Ray's face when Eddy calls him an aged senior 🤭🤭
This was absolutely brilliant! I LOVE when these three are together. It would be great just to spend several hours with them listening to their stories.
Very concerning how the bit where the question was “ever have I ever played the violin to get my crush’s attention”, became the most replayed.
brett's soul leaving his body when ray talked about the bow
what i learned: ray is smooth in whatever he does 🙌
Damn im just finding out how sassy/smooth/ and sly Ray Chen is, purposely forgets his violin to play his teachers, entices the celloist by asking to play chamber music and makes smart remarks to his concert master haha
12:27 that is a genuine WHAT?!
Haha
0:16
"Aged senior's" expression
Wow. Ray is just born a savage then.
4:01
I want a "most romantic pieces to get your crush's attention"list 😂😭
You can check their video "How to serenade a girl with the violin", there are quite good recommendations. 😊
this video is my comfort video ray is such a lil schemer
2:56 i love how shocked brett is , he is so pure
11:03 - It's funny, because everytime he says "doctor" he goes chinese-ier
*You can't just not love threesetviolin* 💜 this was so funny and wholesome to watch, i couldn't stop laughing and smiling!
I was there when Ray broke his bow! It was in Belgium! I remember this like it was yesterday. That was so hurtfull to watch.
Who was the conductor?
@@Casutama I've been wrecking my brain about this. It was in 2009 in Ghent at the laureat concert of the Queen Elisabeth competition. I think it was Jaap van Zweeden. But I'm not sure.
@@TheLookylook thanks!
"am i allowed to laugh" he's so nice 😭
rays way of playing with his crush is amazing
eddy in the end just gave up everything and stood still, literally EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
Haha my little sister was one of the ones who beat Ray Chen in the NYCC…. We still have the results letter from August 2000 to prove it 😂😂😂 (She’s now a lawyer, and I’m a doctor ….. beating Ray Chen in a concerto competition was not enough to convince our Asian parents that music was a good career 🤣🤣🤣)
Wow! What type of law does she practice?
Dayum what a driven family
@@luf4rall regular Asian family 😅
This episode is so good! I can clearly see that Ray is different, he is a freaking leader of his life, not with flow type of guy. Straightforward and courageous. He just does what he wants, naturally confident.
if I practiced the same amount of time that I see Twoset I would be a prodigy
This was epic! I love "Threeset violin!" All 3 of you seem like genuinely nice young men! (Ray included! Lol!🤣) I can get away with saying that because I'm a genuine senior at 68! 🤣
I muted my class in uni to watch the upload lmaoo
Eddy’s forgetting problems get much better as he could remember that’s his sister brought the violin to the airport.
I thought exactly the same !! 😅
Ray chen colabs are so good
11:50 When I was performing in a choir in my first year of junior high school, I wanted to cough shortly after singing the first song (it was the rainy season, so my throat was uncomfortable in those days), but I was close to the microphone, so I could only force myself not to cough and start lip-synch.
I hold back my cough for about 3 minutes until the end of the second song, and my tears came out because my throat was soooooooo uncomfortable.
The principal and school directors sat at the front, and I'm sure they saw my tears, because after the performance, the principal commented that although the choir was very low volume, but there was someone who sang very emotionally, and he was very happy that someone could understand the story behind the song.
The Yang & Chen (both Chen's)families must be so proud....their kids are all professional musicians and doctors!
I keep forgetting Ray switches on his Australian accent with certain people 😂
