Our student Fanchen from the other side of the country gave us a call a week ago and told us about the “Rush E” drama that he was part of - this inspired us to take the challenge of arranging and performing the “humanly impossible” original Sheet Music Boss MIDI version for piano 4 hands/piano duet!
So, is this performance mediocre, Fanchen?

I think you just one-upped everyone in this whole meme battle.
yEsssss I know haha
Wait 1 minute ago!!
The legend himself...
OMG! The Boss is here!!! 😮😮😮 *pinching myself* -Clare
The men itself.
YAAAS. Now we need a 8 handed version lol
Meh this was mediocre at best
@@rudy2shoes354 lol
the legend himself, what do you plan on doing in the future in terms of piano pieces? i loved the nier piece you did
or an octopus
@@justinisorange this ^^
you know it's a really good "Rush E" when the pianists use their whole arms
And scream on the “E” vocal part
I'm so glad u included slamming on the keys at 2:22, fanchen and the rest who played this didn't include this and it feels so different
Dare i say. Feels so, mediocre.

Grabbing my popcorn rn and reserving my seat :)
I wanna see how this saga ends.
oh god no oh pls no
Wow
To the people that don’t know, these guys are Fanchen’s piano teachers. The real bosses
holy shit that's actually cool of them lmao
Waiting for their teachers to put out their version

This definitely captured the chaos aspect of the song, which is something most other people decided to do without
EXACTLY
I mean... "most people" dont have more than two hands 😂
@@0pine0 yeah imagine not having four arms! Has Garmadons father I can’t relate
This whole meme is just:
Smb: this piece is literally impossible!
The Internet: no it's not, what about my version that has the same melody but omits a double handed chromatic run playing nearly inaudibly through the background of the last reprise
@@hannahcraig6763 I still don't understand why the double handed chromatic run was inaudible in the original video. You'd think it'd take over the music out of sheer number of keys.
“But fortunately, it fucking slaps.”
Good job on this outstanding performance
Everybody gangsta till sheet boss music shows up and calls it mediocre.

@@owenevilmakings5433 too bad he himself sinned by shitting on fanchen wrongfully
I think Fanchen has inadvertently caused a neverending domino effect of Rush E arrangements that just keep getting better and harder
Sooner or later we will move to a point where there will be 4 people to 1 to 1 rush e
Eventually someone is going to find a way to play rush E
ur pfp scares me
@@jontancena5368 there's going to be 88 people sharing 22 pianos, each allotted one key to play
@@mekalcovic3973 good idea
We're one step closer to getting the full human version of rush E

Yes
As a pianist, I feel a mix of pride and fear while watching this horrendously beautiful masterpiece be expressed on piano keys..
and now i kinda wanna try it ngl
When the villain's parents have a scene
YOOO it's been so long since u uploaded, where have u been?
Haha!
Yo panda I remember watching your videos a lot.
How could anyone dislike this? I don’t see any other duo playing this.
Probably because it was mediocre, no offense

@@fruitanimeonpiano Was it? I’d like to see you try. So come on, give us an awe-inspiring performance.
No! Don't do it!
oh boy you will embarass yourself. i'll show you what a good performance of this piece sounds like
How can you dislike this? I don’t see anyone else actually playing it.
Maybe because they’re just dislike bots
*Good ending*
Probably because its.......no actually it's really good :)
*fanchen memories*
Please... no more...
Probably because it was
They just have big thumbs
Listening this very impressively played more accurate version makes me appreciate just how much better a simplified version is on the ears lol.
Great job, guys
Thanks, and sorry to hurt your ears, haha! 😄😄
Damn, they even included mashing parts.
Definitely necessary for this music!
@@TheMeeksDuo you're amazing
I luv thqt
To the people saying this is cheating due to the fact that’s it’s two of them, first, it’s incredibly hard to coordinate together then play a piece by yourself, and they’re playing a closer version to the impossible version due to having 4 hands, as Fanchen had to adjust and create a modified version to suit two hands, so I would wager this was equally as difficult or even harder then the one Fanchen put out. especially near the end.
Meh, sounds kind of mediocre to me. No offence.
Fanchen didn't create the 2 handed version, SMB created it.
@@mailogivin373 Was it? I’d for sure like to see art thou performance. So please, go ahead. Give us your awe-inspiring performance.

Hahahaha ahah damn now I'm not sure if he's kidding or serious
now I’m just waiting for a whole orchestra to transcribe this into an orchestra-choir arrangement and put it on youtube just to top this.
The fact that we know who fanchen is and what the context of the title was shows that youtube's algorithm did not disappoint us
This is a new era of meme piano
Haha yes!
@HayashiPiano yes! What a time to be alive.
*HayashiPiano* TRUEEEEE
The Duo: We bought the WHOLE piano. We are going to use the WHOLE piano. *Proceeds to elbow drop keys XD*
We tried to use as much of it as we could!
@@TheMeeksDuo well you did it better than I could considering that the last time I touched a piano was a decade ago.
I absolutely love that this Rush E war started because Charlie talked about a random comment thread
This song is so good, im glad it's getting more recognition
1:50 : it's basically all my little brothers when I start playing piano
When you make literally slamming on note clusters sound good nice job
It sounded pretty noisy to us while we were playing though, haha!

That’s just genius
This is a masterpiece. The playable keysmash parts, actually singing the E, the signs to simulate the wacky key pattern parts, this is insane and I love it. I can't wait to see who could possibly one-up this. 8 hands?
Thank you so much! Yes, we are planning something, stay tuned! 😊
The Meeks Duo: Fanchen, is our Rush E mediocre?
Fanchen: YAAAS
I don’t feel like people appreciate enough how difficult it must be to have both of them be on the same exact tempo so perfectly
I mean it was mediocre at best, No offense
@@Redcynical oh no
Because there’s not much to appreciate in that lmao. It’s a common misconception with non-musicians that coordinating in a duet or ensemble takes some kind of godly level of coordination and practice. Maintaining tempo is, by this level, an automatic and innate skill, and it’s very easy to stay in step.
@@minh-khanguyen7209 yeah I don’t play the piano but I am in show choir and I can confirm that it doesn’t take much skill to stay in time with everyone because you don’t worry about the others, you worry about yourself and so does everyone else and you don’t need to coordinate you just need to chill ow the tempo. However. To do something this chaotic is difficult to stay in sync with not because they need to coordinate but because the frickin arm movements and hand movements and everything like that makes staying on the fast tempo very difficult. These people are skilled! I know you never said they weren’t but I’m just gonna double down on that fact
@@nerdthatcantfit1079 duets on piano are still harder, coming from a piano player who has done 7 exams and multiple performances in front of crowds, it feels awkward enough having two players on one piano and if one of you messes up it just feels out of touch
The meeks duo are the old masters coming back in season 2 to stop their old disciple, only to be defeated by the new Fenchen, now blinded by power and ready to destroy every mediocre piano player
Made a whole plot line for this meme 😂😂

This is excellent
Thank you very much!!
Fanchen already showed respect for this, which means this version is the best humanly possible. Can't go better than this. Good job.
Thank you!
What about a trio 🤔
Can't get better than this? I beg to differ... I've just uploaded my one-man performance to my channel >:)
UNLESS THEY ADD ANOTHER PERSON. :D
She was so happy at the end wow a truly amazing duo
Thank you! Yes it was such a relief to finish recording since the ending is pretty difficult 😄😄
Fanchen: Look at what they need to mimic a fraction of my power!
When she danced around the room in joy I smiled so much XD
And I appreciate the 3 different cams. Thank you
Thank you! XD
a student starts a trend, then the smart kid tries to do that trend. the popular kid likes that trend then a normal kid comes along and tells the popular kid he doesnt like what the smart kid did. then the popular kid tells the normal kid to do something better and the normal kid comes along and absolutely destroys the popular kid, then that normal kids parents come and start laughing at the popular kid. thats my rendition of this drama
for anyone who doesnt understand (cause i didnt):
student: rush e creator
smart kid: original person who tried playing it irl
popular kid: commenter who asked how anyone could dislike it
normal kid: fanchen
normal kid’s parents: this duo
@@poopooman9658 normal kid is penguinz0 (moistcritikal) I think
Edit: I meant the parents
@@alixlegend7952 then what would the normal kid's parents be?
*kid* is very accurate
@@poopooman9658 I would have thought moistcritikal was the parent in this scenario since he made a video covering it and bringing it to popularity.
I'd never considered how insanely powerful the _villain's_ sensei would be
How could anyone dislike this? I dont see anyone else doing it?
there are like 40 dislikes only
Probably because it was mediocre, no offense.
This is like when the sensei of the main protagonist gets their moment in the spotlight and absolutely kicks ass
So true. The Meeks Duo individually are actually incredible. They have real prestige in the music industry.
This gotta be one of my favourite spin off youtube series ever. I am a pianist too and I understand the work behind this. Spectacular.
Thank you!!
Is that? Is that Koro Sensei on your pfp?
@@fanyamvs9601 yes sir
@@fanyamvs9601 I WAS GONNA SAY FHAT
At the end, the woman is like "YYYYEAAAAHHHH WWEEEE DID IT!" and the dude is like "CALM DOWN ACT COOL YA FREAK!"
The perfect example of "I paid for the whole piano, I'm gonna use the whole piano"
The main villain masters are surely powerful.
Watch when theres another mastermind behind em and then saga continues
Prepare for trouble
And make it double
So, this are the people who raised a villain? Jokes aside, this is pretty amazing not gonna lie
This is the most accurate, if you dont spam all the keys on the piano your playthrough is wrong
What about this guy?

Dude had the last word in the argument and ended up getting detention
I dont understand how you guys are his teacher when he's already performing a movement from Gaspard de La Nuit. You guys must be incredibly good then?
Yeah they are professional classical musicians! The meeks duo!
Yes! They are incredibly amazing.
Lol he performed Scarbo and Ondine, Scarbo is in the playlists section of his channel.
The beauty of mixing cardboard “RUSH” sign with insane hands coordination of independent players is out of this world.
God bless the Internet for gems like this can be known from another part of the world.
gotta say, one of the most surreal/hilarious/epic things i've seen is someone playing piano with one hand on some notes and their whole goddamn arm up to the elbow, just to hit those final notes, and i've only seen it here, so really, congrats
Happy to hear that! Special Rush-E technique!
the key smashing is extremely unexpected
Any friend of Fanchen is a friend of ours.
My brain just exploded when they just slap the keyboard full open palm.
Mastery at work.
you know its good when the original creator comments twice.
That is some next level coordination and communication
Thanks, it was fun to put together!
EEEEEEEEEE this was so amazing lmaoooooo. 10/10, who said classical musicians cant play meme music? hhahahaha. loved the video, specially the ending xD EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Thanks, Roger! The more we played it, the more it reminded us of Brahms Hungarian Dances or Liszt Hungarian Rhapsodies!
Funnily enough, meme music has always been a thing.
The pride and celebration at the end really did it for me.
Her happiness at the end there was infectious :)
Now that was a stunning performance, very nice job.
Thanks, Fruit!
It was mediocre, no offense

This meme is slowly ascending to the next musical dimension
Your relationship with each other is amazing.
I love how even in the crazy nonsense parts you can still hear the melody and the important parts are never neglected.
Grade S work!
Mad respect for you teachers, you both have amazing talent and even have a student with amazing talent :D
Thank you! :D
Fanchen's masters, they must be so powerful
I’ve seen hundreds of videos of seeing people playing rush e but this one by far is the best
Thanks so much!! We had a lot fun of playing it 😄😄
How much tries did it take you too complete the song? (I’m not saying that in a rude way I’m sure it didn’t take that much tries because you guys are great)
We wrote it in a rush, maybe two days, and then practiced it for another two days for many hours before making the recording 😄😄
Ok
the chaotic smashing absolutely makes this top tier
They seem like a fun couple.
Fanchen is still more powerful he only needed one person
Very true!
It's easier to play in time with yourself than with another person tho
Fanchen simp
Nah he weak af and an asshole
@@thequantumzone6907 he explained that by mediocre he meant that it could have done better, I don’t really see how he was bad
The smashing on the piano is all I wanted but did not dare to ask of somebody who owns a grand piano thank you.
The way they suddenly lean forward to mash is hilarious to me 😂😂😂
I like how everyone turned Fanchen into the final boss of Rush E
It’s incomprehensible talent mixed with humor, what’s not to love?
this rabbit hole is gonna go to the point where the entire original song is gonna be played and I await this day.

What a fun video to watch! The arrangement is full of impressive intricacies, and yet you also captured the craziness of this piece so well. But probably the best part was of course the "EEEEE". Was doubling over in my seat both times. Love to see the deep-fried thumbnail as well. Overflowing with praise rn, but I'll save you the essay. Thoroughly enjoyed it, start to finish. Also, Clare might wanna cut back on the caffeine
Glad you liked it, and can't wait to see yours!!
That EEEEEEEEE was too god, amazing performance!
Yes, we practiced the EEEEEEE a lot 😂
The less sense the Rush makes, the more sense the Rush makes.
That is all.
this is exactly how i imagine rush e should be play, with palm and whole arm on the keyboard. Good shit
YOU ABSOLUTE MADLADS!!!
Hope this finally gets you two the recognition you deserve!!!
Thanks, Andy! 😄😄
I love how you kept the slamming parts of the song. It's sounds awesome.
Thank you! It's no ordinary slamming XD
They go borderline mental by the end and just start banging up the keys
Now the villain's teachers are tossing their hats into the ring...
What a show this is!
I love how they imitate the piano mashing as well
This needs more views tbh. Its amazing
Thank you very much!
If Fanchen is a Lvl. 69 Crook The Meeks are the Lvl. 420 Mafia Boss(es)
This Rush E battle situation is the best thing to happen to the online piano community.
Damn, this really makes me want to start playing the piano again! Been playing since I was 4 and I had to quit lessons right when Rush E has made such a rise.
Your student is very epic, you've taught him well.
Hope you get back into piano playing!
The whole Fanchen/Rush E drama has simply transcended
How can someone dislike this? I don't see anyone else actually playing it.
The drama.... I can't believe it.
Edit: Who realised this gave them at least 2k more subs and well, this is their most liked video
Why would you dislike this? I haven't seen anyone else actually playing it.

These pianists deserve more attention and recognition, they’re so underrated omfg
Now for the entire school where they learned piano to do this in a 50 hand arrangement
When you have an assignment for music theory but there's no description on what to do.
I’ve always dreamt of this moment, that some madlads would actually perform the song as a duo, seems like my wish came true!
