Level 1: Not counting
...
Level 8: Not counting
umarth this comment needs more upvotes
😂
Not Counting because you already now what to do.
volbeat: still counting
I can't even imagine living as a counter
Level 1: Guessing
Level 8: Guessing with some skill
Noob and Pro both go by intuition. The difference is that it works for the pro.
Intuition isn't guessing though.
Brave words for the Donald original
@@TheDcraft it kinda is
AmazinChannel not really, a guess is you don't know so you just pick one. Intuition is understanding on a subconscious level. You know the right answer you just don't know how you know it's the right answer.
Being a percussionist was basically "enjoy some music, and every 10 mins or so hit a drum really loud"
The bass in this one piece we are playin has 47 bars of rest out of the 64 bars. Its fun watching him suffer for 30 straight measures.
ThatPersonYouKnow That one time I played the bass drum and had an 164 measure rest
i just remember how the song goes come in when i remember (basically never).
What hurts the most is when you miss it and your teacher just gives you the death glare, despite knowing how dreadful it is counting for 50 measures lmao I just started taking the death glare, but noting what I heard the others playing, so that I would know without counting because it's just so bad... Smh.
@@joshcheee8659 I wish I read your response before commenting...
Level -2, Opera singer: don't count and just come in whenever you feel cause the orchestra has to follow you anyways
I feel attacked, but not fully unwarranted
i think Orchestra don't care. Opera singers follow them.
How do you know when you have a singer at your door? She can't find the key and doesn't know when to come in.
As a vocalist I feel this but as a bassist, call me Dracula because I AM THE COUNT 😅😂
I just memorise what the accompaniment plays before my entry, so I don’t have to count
Eddy: “The orchestra is not a child’s playground.
IT’S A BATTLE FIELD.”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
AMA Art this needs to be another t shirt
I felt that 🤣
@@janedonovanjdocleaning35 It sure does.
Jane Donovan Yessss🔥
AMA Art oooh then what does that make the conductor?
level 8: it's like when you fall asleep on the bus, but somehow wake up right before your stop.
XD weird but can relate
I dont know how ppl do this. Ive seen ppl literally get up as the doors were closing. Somehow their brains woke them up just in time!? How the fuck
Yup I do this on trains lol
I did this for almost 3 years every morning on the way to uni haha. Had quite a long train ride, so I had to get up very early and slept on the train, but I never once missed my stop
@@noneisallminussome371 When you do the same thing everyday for months, it's just instinctive. I used to do this when I was in college with a one hour trip every morning and night, you just end up knowing.
1. Rachmaninov Symphony No. 2 Mvt 2 I think?
2+3: Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 Mvt 3
4: Mahler Symphony No. 1 Mvt 3
5+6: Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 Mvt 3
7. Rachmaninov Symphony No. 2 Mvt 3
8. Rachmaninov Symphony No. 2 Mvt 2
Thank you so much
omg THANK YOU
4 is haunting me. Sounds so familiar.I'm thinking tchaikovsky or Saint Saens since I often listen to them when I'm working. That Mahler piece is basically Frere Jacques in a minor key, but this doesn't sound like that.
@@paulgush it is Mahler 1 movement 3, the end of the development part
@@mexicanmayo3450 thank you! I will listen to it again
then there’s like knowing the piece so well because you’ve played this show a million times and you can walk out and have a sandwich and come back in the right spot.
our concert band is like this, one of our bass drums literally ate chips during rests and no one noticed
@@welchsgum7195 Oh that's a whole different level of counting.... Percussionist counting 🙅🏻♂️
In some orchestral music you might literally only have a few notes in a 2 hour long symphony.
Not to mention setting down instruments, leaving your sheet music, walking halfway across the room, picking up another instrument and coming in on time. 🤦🏻♂️
Then there’s even just knowing the piece so you can adjust the changes your conductor makes to tempo so you can just count measures and then the few beats till you come in
@@kvngcasim7712 Then there's knowing the piece so well you can play it with .5 second latency with other musicians
@jedbeetle or taking a mental break and coming back in cause you forgot for a second what you were supposed to be doing 🤣🤣
Level Percussion: Rest all you want, if you miss that one single note you have, no one will notice or care.
YES!!!
YESSSSSS HAHAHA BUT THE CRASH CYMBAL...
Noooo! Percussion is so important! And I'm not a percussionist. Think about the impact that symbols have right at the end of a phrase or timpanis building the suspense of a piece. Come on, you've got to agree. 😆
@@monoymono9 as a percussionist, I am touched **tears**
Katie Papp in my experience the only time anyone notices the one percussion note is when they come in at the wrong time (or knock it over)
“The orchestra is not a child’s playground. It’s a battle field”
Me, a beginning orchestra cello player: aight imma head out.
it’s ok being a beginning orchestra cello player tho because all of the music is so simple
Me!
mE but violin
Yulz W nah, we play tough pieces. We moved through the easy stuff pretty fast. We just don’t have the experience the chamber group had.
I'm also a beginner cellist but after following the 40 hour ling ling schedule I'm progressing rapidly. Also to the person saying we get simple pieces, baka🤦.
level 9: memorizing everyone else's part so you creepily know precisely *when* it's your time to shine.
Level 9b: memorizing the entire piece and patiently waiting for your 1 measure percussion accompaniment + 40 bars of rest
I do this to help me play my part if the rhythm is exactly the same as mine and I use it for resting as well
Yep! That's pretty much how I roll!
Honestly that’s what I do, I count mentally for the first few times playing the piece and am listening for sounds that the whole band plays so that I can take a nap. LAZINESS FOR THE WIN
God this used to be me cause i didnt know how to count at all 💀
eddy found the chance to make use of the viola he bought for brett 🤣🤣
😂😂😂 Brett better not waste that viola.
Who is your prof pic??
@@thlee3 ah thats the japanese model yuka mannami !
I always count professionally because i’m a percussionist
ditto. Then the counting somehow transforms into feeling the groove of the music, allowing us to zone out during rests and come back in time to "add some percussion here because it feels right" a.k.a. it is on the bloody score.
I always count professionally too because I am a classical trumpet player #1000barsofrest
I always count professionally three, because I am a piccolo player~
As a trumpet player can relate
As a trumpet player can relate
I usually memorize everyone else’s parts, so I know when to come in after them. It’s my own weird way of doing it

Same
Same
for me i’m usually listening to cellos for their notes and come in at my own time, i’m usually first chair so i can see them 24/7
Same
level: high trust
waiting for the first chair to put up their instrument while they wait for the conductor to cue them in
The first chair of the viola section in my school orchestra used to deliberately put his viola up at the wrong time to confuse us cause he realised the rest of us just followed him and didn't count for ourselves.
That taught me a lesson.
onepackviola LMFAOOOO
@@nim9183 thats just pure evil
Eddy's evil grin like "Some musicians just wanna watch the world burn..."
How about the one who counts by bobbing his/her head?

“Orchestra is not a children’s playground, it’s a battlefield.”
-Eddy
I felt that!
Me in band:
Wise words
yeaaaaa that’s crazyyyyy
yes lmao
The counting mentally one is a big mood and is why I get lost so frequently. "Wait, did I start counting when I stopped playing or when the actual first measure of rest started? Do I need to adjust my counting? Where tf am I?"

What is the second piece
Thank you!!!!
“The orchestra is not a child’s playground, it’s a battlefield” oof😂
0:20 without that animation we can actually tell that Brett is thinking about boba.
Oh yes HAHA
Level children's choir: knowing the entire piece by heart anyway because you had to practice it for 200 hours until the kids could remember how it works.
The best piece is the one where you don't have to play: eternal rest.
3'44 😂😂😂
That sounds like a fighting video game finisher
There is actually something like that somewhere. A pianist who composed a piece of music entirely out of rests.
This is what being a percussionist is like half the time 😂
@@Chockitkat I think you mean 4:33?
I’m a flute player and I FEEL level four. That intense math while counting, it feels so good to come in perfectly on time after screwing up
The way I, and my entire class(it was a school orchestra) was taught was to listen. The teacher, instead of conducting normally, taught us by having us listen to him playing piano and learning when to pick up with him. We all learned to not count, but listen for the correct time. I guess its a combination of the listening for musical queues and experience since it required both, we weren't going based on one of those alone.
Wonderful.
I'm that kind of dance teacher who don't teach my students to count but listen to and know the music to know when to come in.😊
Lol i was in band in highschool and was playing a rather interesting part as the clatinet part i was playing in the piece was actually keeping tempo for the entire piece...the band directors and I however had a falling out during marching season because i can not march per doctor's orders -ever- unless i want to shatter my ankle...well because of the falling out i wound up not being in for the marching competitions and the entire band fell apart...although i had known because of the others telling me, the band directors had no idea, that the entire band was listening for my part while they were playing/waiting to play so they knew when to come in and when to stop, as wether we were in concert or on the field i was more or less in a centralized location, and with the octave of my part i wound up being easy for everyone to hear...when i had left i did suggest for another clarinet player to be set to practice the part and take my place, but apparently the band directors did not listen to my suggestion...the band lost the competition because of no one being able to be on time...it was a cacophony of noise by the end of the performance. 😂
Level 9: (Brass and percussion only) designate the last chair to count, go for a coffee during your rest, return 128 bars later and blast the rest of the orchestra away.
(or read a book, or go to the bathroom, or finish a theory assignment)
(yes I have done all of these)
Trombones to the fore!
OMG I love this. Trombone rest that lasts an entire movement of a piece, dont worry we have to be there for part 1 and 3, but part 2 is all rest, just take a bloody nap no need to count. We come in 2 bars after the next movement starts.
For some reasons, watching your videos always motivates me to practise even though the video is meant to be entertaining. Just a casual cellist myself but your videos never fail to remind me of how much classical musicians have to practise in order to be proficient.
Also, entertaining video as always. Thanks!
Same feeling here. 🙂
Gavin Heng - Same here, coming from a casual violinist walking off to practice now! 😊
Yeah watching them play makes me go’ I wanna be able to play like that’
I've actually stopped playing in an orchestra since 4 years (double bass). And I just got back right in the middle of it, with bigger feelings than when we were playing Tchaikovsky opening 1812...
Especially as double bass players, counting is... All of our orchestra life.
Thanks for having me back into it.
The foot thumping is especially great on stage where the sound is amplified by the hollow space beneath lol
3:33 What?! Enjoy a Viola solo?!
me and my desky/stand partner (whatever you call them) at my last concert band, if we were playing a piece that was really
fast or had weird rest counts, we should put our hands on our thighs and hold out our fingers for the counts since we couldn’t count our loud. Really saved me a couple times!!
oh my god the starting counting on the next empty bar hits hard
Level 10000+: being a choir kid and having your music memorized
Cady Blanchard level 100000000000000+ being a theatre kid singing with music memorized, dancing, and acting.
@@albinofrog3140 level 100000000000000000000000000+ being in marching band and having music memorized, drill memorized, visuals memorized, guard work memorized all while marching and keeping horn angles and watching the drum major and while counting.
Cady Blanchard being in a huge dance number in theatre is ridiculous and harder than it looks, but honestly i respect marching band so much that shit looks difficult

At level 7 I think there was a slight jab at us violas... claiming we don’t know when to come in for our SOLOS....
I feel attacked
Well at least my strings aren’t high pitched enough so that only dogs can hear them
AND AT 4:38 YOU BAS-
The jab is imagining violas get solos.
Level 9: counting with your fingers and dropping your bow (I may or may not have done that. A few times. Okay 4. But that’s it.)
Emily Is Away xx one time i dropped my bow while doing pizz and i’m a bassist, so i leaned over to grab it and i almost kicked my stand over...
Someone was playing in our assembly and they were playing a bit too viciously and their bow went flying...
Calico's World my conductors baton went flying once too lol
@@gloriayaneui3307 I'm clearly too tired for this... I read that you dropped your bow doing a piss. My brain should not be allowed to imagine such things.
percussionists with one bar in an entire piece cannot relate
i love another instruments cue !!!! i just memorise where i’m supposed to start and i know where it is in the others music, to try and get better at intuition 😭
i think ive been almost all of those at least once over the years and i love it

Mega pro, not counting at all, knowing from other parts (uncied/unwritten) when to come in (trust me its a useful to skill to have.)
i only count when i have lots of bars rest but then get nervous before i start playing again or just use the other parts to know my cue XD
@@fizz8912 anything over 10 bars in 3/4 or more, and i dont count, more than 15 in 2/4 and i dont count, after playing a while, as the trumpets normally play in my rests, and mess up so... no hate to trumpets but they dumb from my area
@@fewgrain4245 haha🤣🤣🤣
That's level 8, as covered in the video.
@@AndyZach u sure? Intuition isnt knowing other parts when you havent seen them, on the off chance the conductor ignores the trumpets and carries on.
Literally every brass and percussion player has mastered level 8. Like we don’t count we just know
I'm a second chair clarinet and the section leader and he does 2:30 to me all the time. I should probably just learn to count.
Well now I’m first chair and I now do it right back to him😂

Level 10: knowing how the piece goes already because it's the score for one of your favourite films
level 10: knowing the whole song and knowing the cue based on whats being played
1:15 Eddy use his bow to bit Brett hhhhh

Dang...
Then stop procrastinating and go study. Jk, good luck!
me..
Gosh, how many do you play, then? ;-)
the last one is the best attempt from the two as sometimes, people have different count and rhythm inside their head, and as the two is playing without any sound/visual cues that's basically just the two of them timing it together.
“the orchestra is not a childs playground its a battlefield”
indeed it is lol
Level 3 and 6... Brett's facial expression is so '🍁'
I liked how sync are Brett and Eddy even when moving their heads (level 8) 🍁
Mix of 4, 7, and 8. Count in my head and keep track of how many measures with my fingers. Once I know a piece, I listen to the other parts while still keeping track of where the beat is, often times watching the conductor and looking at my sheet music.
I memorize the part of whoever’s playing and I just sit back and relax until one measure before I play
Level 9: memorising the entire piece so you know when you should come in after other instruments. Just a tip from an oboe player
2:22 what piece is this? :(
and this piece 4:27?
and 0:04?
@@wobblyorbee279 why you ask me. I only know those I've played. And I've played none of those

this works for piccolo too!
“The conductor said he’ll give a cue...”
Aka the biggest lie in history
Tbh who even looks at the conductor?
My conduct cues in every section but always forgets about us violas
My conductor forgets about the flutes cues and does the rest of the band. She’s done it before and I was off, but not by much. Good thing it was at rehearsal and not concert.
You ain't just whistlin' Dixie.
Did some one knows that piece was Unfinished symphony from schubert 2nd muvement
In high school, we did homework during 40 bar rests. Those were the days.
Thanks for the laughter!
One time I missed coming in after about a fifty bar rest (bassoonist here) and the conductor looked up to see I was busy reading Pride and Prejudice for English next period. I made that guy mad a lot, but that one took the cake. Sorry, Mr. Allred!
da hell did you play? trumbone?
@@emily_nelson😭😭
Only fifty bars? Also bassoon here i had 120. And the violin didn't get their notes so we wen for a coffee and cake to the Café next door.
Level 17: It doesn’t matter. Nobody’s counting at the same pace. The cellos are hitting each other. The flute is on a solo. The clarinet is crying. The conductor is napping. Chaos reigns
As a clarinet... God you are so right.
OH MY STARS THE FRENCH HORN IS OUT OF TUNE
Gold Star Of Venus ikr?! The clarinet is always crying. What is wrong with us
The tubas are eating a buffet in the back
Level 18: you don’t have any rests
When two musicians sitting next to each other are both thinking that they can follow their desky 😂
that is so true
Typical.
*after ~9 of 17 bars rest*
"Hey, uh.. have you been counting?"
"Nah, you?"
Oh WELL
My conductor told me and my desk partner when I was front desk to just copy each others bowing and assume the other person was right if we were ever different but that never worked...
I just follow my concert master 😂😂😂
LUL
me internally: *knows that i have to start playing after the trumpets do that doodidooty thing*
Delfina Leonardini I immediately thought of a part of my show as soon as you said the “doodidooty thing”
Our ONLY doodidooty thing, cause composers really under use the brass section. IMHO as a trumpet player.....;-)
MEEEEE
Ur a pro then
dooidooty thing XD
Level 12 - Become a horn player. I once had 101 bars of rest. I've totally forgotten the piece of music, but I remember that 101 bars of rest
So you went for lunch in the meantime?
@Dion van Oene should've!
I counted one piece. Five hundred and forty seven. 547. The life of a bassoon.
Or a percussionist.
Bass clarinet. Sympathy 😭😂
Level 9: Composing your own music and messing up the entrance anyways
This would be me...😂
@Dreaming of music lol me too. Btw do u actually dream about music
As a composer who tries to play everything I write, I shall give my feedback and say that this is extremely true.

0:52 why is no one talking about how cleanly they played that, it’s in Db which is literally one of the worst keys on violin

Pitfall of level 4: when you count 40 bars of rest, only for the conductor to cut off right before you play
So relatable.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this :) I recognise loads of music but I am very bad at linking words to things. So I can only remember one or two names at a time (this also works for celebrities, I hope you two feel honoured that I remember Brett and Eddy and which of you is which, I had to forget my siblings-in-law to learn this XD)
OMG THANK YOU 😍
Level 9: Knowing how the whole piece goes, and being familiar with how the music sounds leading up to each entry, so you can start back up without a cue, independent of any mistakes from other sections, independent of the conductor forgetting a cue, just based on knowledge of the overall piece relative to your own part.
One of my favourite junior orchestra moments: We were all struggling with the timing of a particular section of the music. Finally, the conductor stops us and says, "Alright, as you play it this time, EVERYONE is going to count out loud." It started soft, with people just quietly counting, "One, two, three, four." And then us cellists decided to count a little louder, to drown out the violists. Who counted a little louder in retaliation. Which inspired the first and second violinists to count even louder. By the end of the piece, you couldn't hear the music over the sounds of 45 kids screaming, "ONE TWO THREE FOUR!" We got the timing exactly right, the conductor declared the cellists the winner in our unofficial competition, and I excused myself because I had been yelling so loud that I had killed my throat.
Youth orchestra is the best
Doesn’t work if you happen to play an instrument that you use your mouth for. Us brass players have to just use plain old tapping or counting in head 😕
YESS CELLIST FOR THE WINNN

What’s the level for
“You’ve heard this shit so often that you just know based on the music”
Cause after constant 3 hr practices, you just know what it sounds like
that would be 8
TRUEEE
Bruh...
So true
are you saying you dont practice 40 hours???
Ariana, that works great until someone in the orchestra messes up, and you had to adjust all of a sudden!
I remember middle school and high school band as a percussionist, when we all developed unspoken courtesies and habits like counting with our fingers so our section mates could see and listening for bars six and seven, because those were the easiest to hear when the wind players in front of us counted out loud. I miss grade school percussion.
as a percussionist whenever it was like [ 8 ] [ 8 ] we would make eye contact with each other on the new count to make sure we were all on the same page hehe
As a percussionist, I can confirm that waiting for X instrument to come in is the only way of doing it without going completely insane
What I do is I airplay the guy next to me's part bc we share a sheet but have different parts, then I just come in when my rests are iver
You are totally right
Yea instead of counting out every damm measure I just listen for the main instrument that plays the melody or whatever a few measures before me so I know when to start thinking again
You are right, that's what I do
Yes! I was just saying percussionists have it the worst.
You forgot LingLing level: when the music waits for you to come in

Ah, so you're a musical instrument? :^)
I never know a viola can type:^
if we're being honest here we just don't count period.
But like I count
1:10
We all know Brett wasn't tapping his foot to keep rhythm. He was really getting hyper from drinking too much bubble tea after daydreaming about it in rehearsal.
E C In fact, since Brett is speculated to be Ling Ling, he doesn’t need to even physically drink bubble tea to, well, drink bubble tea.
@@YolandaNiHP Brett must drink 40 bubble teas a day, no wonder why he randomly crashes and looks dead inside😂
Bubble tea with an added dose of caffeine, OMG was he hyper! 😲
Twoset: music is not a competition
Also twoset: the orchestra is a BATTLE FIELD
Lol
Exactly. Hahahaha
It's not a competition, since everybody is a loser (except maybe the conductor)
orchestra =/= all of music
Rew Rose The conductor is the supreme leader who actually sits and listens to the music daily to later conduct it for the orchestra.
As a horn player, I laughed at the "waiting for other players of the same instrument" thing 😂 if only we could do that. That would be so nice 😭
As a trumpet player, _laughs in literally 100 measures of rest_
Lol, trombone rests. 16, 16, 32, 16. Now play. Rest for 25 more measures. Play. Rest for the last four minutes. Last note.
Don’t even talk to me about excessive resting. As a percussionist, I have had to just play one note in the middle of the song, and just count the whole time
As a brass band trumpet player, laughs in literally 1 measures of rest per piece... Oh nooo
This is why I miss wind ensembles
DarkKitten _ just count the first half then
Level 9: listen a few times before the concert and you know when to get in
Ahah
True my god
So true
@Zoey Zeng
Level 11: memorize entries of all music in the world so that you never count
@Zoey Zeng Level 13 You master the flows of the forces within the universe over time and eternity, allowing you to do all previous levels simultaneously. You feel calmness with every piece of music you play, allowing you meditate as a true zen master. You can do levels 2 and 3 completely silently. Also, you figured out how to use your instrument as a cup holder.
At level 14 you can manipulate time to redo you entries into the music (not that you would need to do that at this level with mastery of entering perfectly in time, though having a chance to take a quick break with that new cup holder of yours might be useful).
Eddy’s expressions are gold in this vid Imao I laughed at those the most
Bass Clarinet:
**Laughs in 120 consecutive measures of rest**
Percussionist:
*Laughs in 302 consecutive measures of rest at 60 BPM*
bassoonist:
Can relate-
Harp:
*Laughs in plays gliss once then rest the whole piece*
@@thewronggelato3889 Harp: also gets paid bank for that one glissando they were called in to play.
see now, i'll like a comment that was made by a bass that says they have lots of rest.
but i will *not* like the one that i saw earlier which was made by a tRuMpEt
Viola player here. Can confirm we will always endeavour to trip up the rest of the orchestra as payback for all of the jokes at our expense!
musative yup the only true skill us viola players have is getting revenge on the rest of the orchestra by messing them up
AS A VIOLIST I CAN CONFIRM THIS AS WELL
haha, okay sebastian player
Y. E. P
The viola section in my school is always the best and then when the cellos start rushing they blame us like what
