Violin is indeed polyphonic. It just wasn't designed to be played polyphonically as easily as one would play a piano or guitar. Those were built for polyphony in mind.

He performed his own violin concerto (which is basically a very long cadenza) with an orchestra I was a member of a few years ago. UNPAID because of visa issues just to get exposure because he’s basically unknown. He’s developed a ton of his own techniques to play like this and even modified his violin and bow a bit. Forget the details.

For those who are wondering why people claimed paganini sold his soul to the devil this is exactly how people felt about paganini at that time. Imagine this guy performing in 1814 with this amount of skill. People would definitely claim that it's not humanly possible and that's the exact reason people claimed that paganini sold his soul to the devil in order to play like this.
Damn.. If that how it feels, Roman Kim must be insanely good then, I'm non musician but looking at his hand making my hand cramp too like what the heck
Look who he has had as teachers: "He studied under Maxim Vengerov and attended master classes with Midori Goto, Lewis Kaplan, Miriam Fried and Gidon Kremer." He surpassed them all and every other violinist past or present for that matter.
From a non-violinist point of view its like a 2nd dimensional being watching two 3rd dimensional beings trying and failing to comprehend a 5th dimensional being. EDIT: Thank You all for all the likes!
Damn, this guy is the real deal... He studied Paganini's techniques so much that he deeply mastered them to a level that it's hard to accept. What a monster.
@@spadegaming6348 Kim/forced harmonics, thumb work, simultaneous combination of advanced violin techniques, advanced polyphony, ... he's done a lot of new things that haven't been done before
@spadegaming6348 less legacy, since Paganini was literally revolutionary for violin, but definitely more skilled. Like modern mathematicians are probably better than Newton at calculus even though Newton found it
It's funny how ridiculous Roman Kim is that TwoSet's reaction only brushes the surface. There's other videos of him playing his own composed pieces that are harder than God Save The King (although according to Kim himself, the Eine Kleine for Solo Violin that TwoSet showed at the beginning is the hardest piece). In those videos he does crazy things like Devil's Trill + double stopped artificial harmonics + left hand pizz at the same time, special harmonics that sound like a flute, tenths with his ring finger and pinkie, more biting the strings :) Apparently he's working on Beethoven's 5th for Solo Violin next.
@@zoezhang5413 You can find more on his channel, but two of the more virtuosic are: Air for Solo Violin: th-cam.com/video/BgAw93L9gG0/w-d-xo.html I Brindisi: th-cam.com/video/t5kzdf8kUeM/w-d-xo.html The ending of I Brindisi (8m30s onwards) is one of the most incredible displays of technique ever seen on the violin. There's a section that almost no other violinist in history can play given that it's literally impossible without the flute harmonics that Kim developed.
@@JCel Well he did get tired about two setters commenting on his videos on TH-cam, that he need to be review by Two set. You can see it in one of his videos, he's replying comment of a two setter (I forgot which one is the video, and sorry for my bad English). But on that comment, i think he didn't hate two set, he just think that he didn't need two set to review his video. And he didn't need social media approval. Kudos
@@JCel There is actually a reply from Roman Kim in "W.A.Mozart - Eine kleine Nachtmusik - Roman Kim [Violin Solo]" his reply is "I building my Name MYSELF,with EXTREMELY hard work,and i dont need help of some comedian guys!!!". You can find his reply under the comment from The Shadow Dreadlord 8 months ago Twoset needs to see this Edit - I don't disagree with Roman Kim's view TBH, it's probably just a language barrier thing and a bit of agitation that people kept pestering him about TSV. But he definitely did not need to call TSV "some comedian guys". That left a bit of a bad taste.
@@Aznbomb3r haha every insanely talented guy had some temper. It's cool. And I do understand his feelings: imagine you put in countless hours into practice and finally upload the video, but in the comment section it's all about another channel...that could be annoying sometimes.
I assume you’d have to be an experienced violinist to understand the difficulty of what he is playing, but as a complete outsider I appreciate his sound and your reaction. Good stuff.
Roman started playing at age 5 and at age 7 he already won prizes in national competitions in Russia. That's talent. And he's put immense amount of hard work in since.
Well I dug deeper into Roman the past week and my conclusion is that he is an absolute genius of the highest order. Not only he can keep track of up to 4 things at once (there are even videos of him singing, playing cymbals, and playing double stops on violin- all at the same time, not only 4 voices like in Mozart piece) but his own compositions are masterpieces, especially 'Dies Irae' theme where he beautifully marries Bach and Paganini together and his Concerto. But he also invented (!) a new powerful and versatile harmonics technique that makes violin sound like a wind/flute and allows you to play faster than normal because it requires less pressure on strings at the expense of shifting some extra burden to bowing. It's crazy that it took an absolute genius like Roman to uncover this on an instrument that's hundreds of years old and has had many great masters in its rich history - if not his music and playing this feat is a testament on its own. Anyway I don't know what these harmonics technique will be called in the future 'forced' or 'Kim' harmonics but there is a demo and a lesson by someone who bought and studied Roman's sheet music which came with a brief explanation about the technique in preface: 1. demo m.th-cam.com/video/tAJaz4v1jZQ/w-d-xo.html 2. lesson m.th-cam.com/video/gQhQ06kXt0g/w-d-xo.html
Maybe you should pay more attention to comments made by pianists who bought Roman's scores... they say their hands cramping up just by looking at his sheet music
I've honestly been waiting for when they would discover Roman Kim. I've been watching his videos for 1-2 years and they're all equally mind-blowing. He has other videos too where he plays "al dente" and I think he invented a new technique for artificial harmonics that he uses in some of his original pieces. My favourite of his is probably his own composition "Dies irae", though I reserve an honourable mention "Highway Star of Deep Purple" because the video and playing is incredible but the music's a little less my style. And if I'm not mistaken, the glasses he often wears are a special type that, according to science, would narrow his focus.
@@ChiefHerzensCoach @Birthe Here you go. th-cam.com/video/uLnPvPdqPUA/w-d-xo.html It's the latest one he has, it's under a comment by The Shadow Dreadlord.
The crazy part is that he isn't even that old. He was born in 1989. Oh and those glasses he wears, he invented them! How can you accomplish so much in such a short amount of time?
He also invented and perfected a new versatile harmonics technique 'Roman Kim harmonics' which he calls 'forced harmonics' you can hear them ring out crystal clear in contrast in his 'Dies Irae' theme composition at 1:47~ and 6:54~ m.th-cam.com/video/ksATopT-iDI/w-d-xo.html which beautifully marries Bach and Paganini together, this guy is a genius of the highest order
So I searched on Safari on why Roman Kim wear these kind of glasses & I was shocked when I saw it on Reddit that it was his invention in which he calls prioscope. The Reddit user also said that it helps him (Roman Kim) with “his perception of time and helps him concentrate while playing.”
Roman Kim invented more than those goggles... look up 'Roman Kim harmonics' this guy is as innovative as Paganini was during his time. He will set standards and legacy behind that might not surpass for centuries.
Brett & Eddy, my husband has incurable lymphoma, and has a wish only you can fulfill. He simply wants to see you react to the Michael Nyman Band playing "Knowing the Ropes" or "Eye for Optical Theory" or both.

It's wonderful to have a funny musical break in the day. Thank you for that! This is a real request from a loving wife for her dying husband. Please help. Thank you.
@@justina2612 a member of their team suggested I post either here or on subreddit. Since I'm old and don't understand reddit, I chose here. ;) Thanks much for your kind thoughts!
Yessss, roman kim is like one of my fav underappreciate violinist, argurably the best left hand of this era. Listen to his other pieces, this guy is literally pushing the frontier of violin techniques.
He’s a Violinist’s FAV, though he doesn’t have very much public exposure. He can LITERALLY play circles (both technically and musically), around ANY current World-Class Soloist today.
This must be what it feels like being a side character in an anime witnessing the protagonist just waltzing through tests that should take 5000 years of intensive training to finish.
"This training normally takes lifetimes to master. We have 37 seconds so we're using the macguffin that has always existed that we never use for some reason." - anime training arc old man
This guy invented his own technique for playing anything in harmonics, in a flawless way. This is the number 1 argument to show he's not human. Very surprised you didn't talk about that!
We found what the TwoSet anime will be about: Two young men, Brett and Eddy, are trying to become the best violinists they can. But other characters both younger and older come along to to defeat them easily. (such as Roman, Hillary, and other young prodigies) Each time they get defeated, though, they learn a new skill from that person who had defeated them, so they eventually become better as the series progresses. Even though they were defeated by basically everyone they don't have any beef/conflict with anyone afterwards.... except that one Violist in 1st grade. The violist is the one and only antagonist. They keep on demanding a rematch, but he never will give it to them. And filler episodes could include boba dates, attempts to practice 40 hours straight, and obviously there has to be a beach episode. If anyone starts making money off of my idea, I'm suing.
Reminds me of Dimash Kudaibergen. Many trained vocalist who hear him sing for the first time think it's fake until they see more of his performances and learn more about his history. There is simply no other vocalist in the world who can do what he does as well and he does it. It doesn't necessarily make him the greatest singer of all time but he's still a technical master who is great fun to marvel at.
I thought the same while watching this video! Exactly the same comments that a vocal coach makes reacting to Dimash!! I would love to see my favorite youtube channel react to my favorite singer!!!
He is fantastic. Now he has released Beethoven's 5th symphony for solo violin, jeez, it's almost too much. What a talent he is, 41 hours a day of practice.
To understand how impressive this guy is, go check out his Wikipedia page. Apparently Ivry Gitis said Roman Kim was one of the most breathtaking violinists he's ever heard in his life.
I remember watching him live back in 2019. He is LEGIT. He played his violin concerto and some solo piece, can't remember what it was. But when I first saw him with those glasses I was like "wtf is he wearing??" and I was with a friend and she looked just as confused as me. When he started playing though my mind was blown, even as a piano player
This guy is shifting like a cello on the violin. *mind blown* The stretch of his hand is just mind boggling. He obviously practices 80 hours a day. 16 days a week. 12 weeks a month. And 30 months a year.
Attempt no. 9 at trying to get twoset to do this for a video. Eddy has to listen to ten violinists play behind a screen. One of them will be Brett. He has to figure out which one. Once he has made his final guess they swap places. They can do it in rounds like the blind date videos. Please like and comment if you want to see a video like this.
Me who didn’t know who Roman Kim was before: **Plucking the string with teeth** Haha looks like two set just uploaded another roasting video. **Five minutes in** Wait wth
This is like.. The best vid of twoset imo. Roman kim is absolutely surreal, and twoset's reaction/explanation is superb. Im not a musician but with this vid i can really appreciate the awesomeness of violin and roman kim. Kudos to twoset for making this. I hv been replaying this vid more than 20 times and i am still entertained by it.
One of the very under-appreciated violin god in our lifetime. I've been following Mr. Kim for a few years, and every time when TwoSet is amazed by some incredible violinist, I was like... how about Mr.Roman Kim? Finally... Mr.Kim composed quite a few incredible musics as well, and someone did mention his "I Brindisi" piece.. it's literally insane..
Roman Kim is a beast of a player. I highly recommend your viewers to watch his I Brindisi and his Dies Irae, which I loosely patterned my work, Essence, after. He's been called a Paganini reincarnate and pushes the boundaries on creating new sounds on the violin as well as covering other genres. I'm so stoked you guys gave him coverage. Cheers and keep up the awesome work!
His glasses are made of a special lens that helps him focus! Also if u look closely in his last videos u ll see that he has put mini FRETS in the violin...and finally his bow hair is made of special material thats why its black. I ve met him at Greece and hes a cool dude. The guy has made his own techniques and plays at his own league! u should definetly watch his cover on brindisi and u ll get some idea of what im talking about!
Violinist: *Plays the accompaniament for himself along with the solo* Pianist: Does... this mean I'm out of the job? At last, I can start suffering and write that symphony.
I don't know enough about music or the violin to really appreciate what's going on here. But I love seeing the reaction of two people at the height of their profession react with such childlike amazement at someone who does what they do. You really conveyed how impressive this guy is.
The shot during Eine Kleine Nachtmusik when you could see his fingers up close looked more like what you might see with classical guitar. I wonder if he has experience with the guitar or adapted any of those techniques for the violin.
I was thinking the same. However, guitar strings are much easier to pluck than violin strings (since that's what they're made for) so I'd assume his technique has to involve a lot more clamping or maybe even involve the fingernails?
Please do a part 2!! This was so interesting to watch and it was amazing to get the breakdown of why his playing is so difficult for us non-playing viewers. It helps us get better at appreciating amazing playing!
Songs are comprised of many notes. Those notes are made to be played one at a time. If you have multiple notes, they're usually split up for multiple players to play. The song this guy played was split up for four different players to play at the same time. Instead, this guy played it all, at the same time, by himself. And then there is everything his left hand did. Usually, that hand just pushes down on the string to get the different notes. In order to play the multiple parts, this guy was plucking the string with his left hand while also playing different notes with the bow. I imagine a decent analogy is a busy restaurant where you have the hostess at the front, the waiter taking orders inside, and the chef in the back doing the cooking. With smaller food operations like food trucks, this is possible with just a single person. In a busy sit-down restaurant, you'll need multiple people to fill all the roles. Imagine how hard it will be to fill all the roles with just a single person. You'll need special equipment like maybe a wearable stove to cook while seating customers, with a pad of paper to also take orders. Instead of working each task like they're normally done, you'll need to change up each task so you can do them all simultaneously. That's pretty much what this guy just accomplished.
Doubt it will happen because, unfortunately, Roman Kim's ego didn't like being mentioned by Twoset because he says they are the "clowns of Classical music". What a douche. Great talent. Still a douche.
Im gonna say I know that there was a legend that played with his teeth, but did not know his name. Still pretty sick of him to do a reference tho HAHAHAH

I thought im the onky one
and Paganini was aware of these rumours. So to take advantage of them. He also used to practise in the graveyard.
@@ericmacwan5346 Wow FACTS
He got a cool name though. The Devil's violinist. A cool name and awesome skills.
He either practised this for 2 years straight 24/7 or 2 minutes straight. No in between
"How many hours of practice does it take to achieve that?"
This violinist: "Yes"
lmao first time seeing u so early

And we meet once again
Hiiii early in your comment
hello we meet again
When he was showing his teacher his homework, he was showing the mistakes that his *teacher* did.
YES.
That's actually not that uncommon. You've never done that?
that's common and encouraged in orchestra, actually.
Look who he has had as teachers:
"He studied under Maxim Vengerov and attended master classes with Midori Goto, Lewis Kaplan, Miriam Fried and Gidon Kremer."
He surpassed them all and every other violinist past or present for that matter.
From a non-violinist point of view its like a 2nd dimensional being watching two 3rd dimensional beings trying and failing to comprehend a 5th dimensional being.
EDIT: Thank You all for all the likes!
Hahaa. Great Analogy...
I'd say I'm at 2.5D, not to good, but I'm near the middle.
That's an amazing way to look at it! It's exactly how it feels.
Ah, a fellow Flatlander.
Three body realness
Damn, this guy is the real deal... He studied Paganini's techniques so much that he deeply mastered them to a level that it's hard to accept. What a monster.
He surpassed Paganini, he's been setting violin playing standards for the next decades and centuries.
@@LogioTek Less skilled id say but close as hell.
@@spadegaming6348 Kim/forced harmonics, thumb work, simultaneous combination of advanced violin techniques, advanced polyphony, ... he's done a lot of new things that haven't been done before
@spadegaming6348 less legacy, since Paganini was literally revolutionary for violin, but definitely more skilled.
Like modern mathematicians are probably better than Newton at calculus even though Newton found it
@@LogioTek i believe (?) the liszt b minor sonata for solo violin also has polyphony
the rest is all insane though

So relatable xD
It's funny how ridiculous Roman Kim is that TwoSet's reaction only brushes the surface. There's other videos of him playing his own composed pieces that are harder than God Save The King (although according to Kim himself, the Eine Kleine for Solo Violin that TwoSet showed at the beginning is the hardest piece). In those videos he does crazy things like Devil's Trill + double stopped artificial harmonics + left hand pizz at the same time, special harmonics that sound like a flute, tenths with his ring finger and pinkie, more biting the strings :) Apparently he's working on Beethoven's 5th for Solo Violin next.
Dude, a Beethoven symphony? That's insane
OMG This man is clearly modern time Paganini!
He is the Asian Paganini!
@@zoezhang5413 You can find more on his channel, but two of the more virtuosic are:
Air for Solo Violin: th-cam.com/video/BgAw93L9gG0/w-d-xo.html
I Brindisi: th-cam.com/video/t5kzdf8kUeM/w-d-xo.html
The ending of I Brindisi (8m30s onwards) is one of the most incredible displays of technique ever seen on the violin. There's a section that almost no other violinist in history can play given that it's literally impossible without the flute harmonics that Kim developed.
@@seancamil8566 he also used the tooth technique
It’s about time TwoSet reacted to Roman Kim lol
What are you doing here? Hi
yoo u like classical music?
damn didnt knwo u watch twoset
They should react to Chuan Yun Lee no mi sento
Took them forever jeez

He is the final boss of violin. Check out 'Dies Irae', his Ballade

Ask Roman to do the LingLing workout to know if he's human or alien!!
@@ChiefHerzensCoach Are you here, to hate on him? You're under every positive comment about him to talk bad about him.
@@JCel Well he did get tired about two setters commenting on his videos on TH-cam, that he need to be review by Two set. You can see it in one of his videos, he's replying comment of a two setter (I forgot which one is the video, and sorry for my bad English).
But on that comment, i think he didn't hate two set, he just think that he didn't need two set to review his video. And he didn't need social media approval. Kudos
@@JCel Roman Kim actually expressed his dislike over Twoset, I wonder what his reaction will be now that Twoset actually react to him.
@@JCel There is actually a reply from Roman Kim in "W.A.Mozart - Eine kleine Nachtmusik - Roman Kim [Violin Solo]" his reply is "I building my Name MYSELF,with EXTREMELY hard work,and i dont need help of some comedian guys!!!".
You can find his reply under the comment from The Shadow Dreadlord
8 months ago
Twoset needs to see this
Edit - I don't disagree with Roman Kim's view TBH, it's probably just a language barrier thing and a bit of agitation that people kept pestering him about TSV. But he definitely did not need to call TSV "some comedian guys". That left a bit of a bad taste.
@@Aznbomb3r haha every insanely talented guy had some temper. It's cool. And I do understand his feelings: imagine you put in countless hours into practice and finally upload the video, but in the comment section it's all about another channel...that could be annoying sometimes.
I assume you’d have to be an experienced violinist to understand the difficulty of what he is playing, but as a complete outsider I appreciate his sound and your reaction. Good stuff.
I've played violin for 33 years. I've never seen anything like this. Alien confirmed.
to get to this point you got to be born twice and start from prenatal times on both lives.
@@P.Ripper And your learning speed has to be quintuple the average, plus time slows down by half when you focus.
Roman started playing at age 5 and at age 7 he already won prizes in national competitions in Russia. That's talent. And he's put immense amount of hard work in since.
Well I dug deeper into Roman the past week and my conclusion is that he is an absolute genius of the highest order. Not only he can keep track of up to 4 things at once (there are even videos of him singing, playing cymbals, and playing double stops on violin- all at the same time, not only 4 voices like in Mozart piece) but his own compositions are masterpieces, especially 'Dies Irae' theme where he beautifully marries Bach and Paganini together and his Concerto. But he also invented (!) a new powerful and versatile harmonics technique that makes violin sound like a wind/flute and allows you to play faster than normal because it requires less pressure on strings at the expense of shifting some extra burden to bowing. It's crazy that it took an absolute genius like Roman to uncover this on an instrument that's hundreds of years old and has had many great masters in its rich history - if not his music and playing this feat is a testament on its own. Anyway I don't know what these harmonics technique will be called in the future 'forced' or 'Kim' harmonics but there is a demo and a lesson by someone who bought and studied Roman's sheet music which came with a brief explanation about the technique in preface:
1. demo m.th-cam.com/video/tAJaz4v1jZQ/w-d-xo.html

Maybe you should pay more attention to comments made by pianists who bought Roman's scores... they say their hands cramping up just by looking at his sheet music
I've honestly been waiting for when they would discover Roman Kim. I've been watching his videos for 1-2 years and they're all equally mind-blowing. He has other videos too where he plays "al dente" and I think he invented a new technique for artificial harmonics that he uses in some of his original pieces. My favourite of his is probably his own composition "Dies irae", though I reserve an honourable mention "Highway Star of Deep Purple" because the video and playing is incredible but the music's a little less my style. And if I'm not mistaken, the glasses he often wears are a special type that, according to science, would narrow his focus.
Hard agree, the teethicato in I brindisi is insane
@@Suplex479 Yes! I think that was the first video of his I watched and I was honestly a little in shock when I saw that.
I lost all respect for him when he ranted about TwoSet.
@@Linuxield When did he do that? That's the first I hear about that.
@@ChiefHerzensCoach @Birthe Here you go. th-cam.com/video/uLnPvPdqPUA/w-d-xo.html

The crazy part is that he isn't even that old. He was born in 1989. Oh and those glasses he wears, he invented them!
How can you accomplish so much in such a short amount of time?
Who is he?
@@yoips4059 Roman Kim
No TH-cam videos and we can achieve that
he also is a composer too damn
He also invented and perfected a new versatile harmonics technique 'Roman Kim harmonics' which he calls 'forced harmonics' you can hear them ring out crystal clear in contrast in his 'Dies Irae' theme composition at 1:47~ and 6:54~ m.th-cam.com/video/ksATopT-iDI/w-d-xo.html which beautifully marries Bach and Paganini together, this guy is a genius of the highest order
Mozart: Finally, an easy piece that no one can turn into paganini
Roman Kim: no
Mozart: We need a string quartet
The violinist: yk what? I’ll do it myself
lmao
So I searched on Safari on why Roman Kim wear these kind of glasses & I was shocked when I saw it on Reddit that it was his invention in which he calls prioscope. The Reddit user also said that it helps him (Roman Kim) with “his perception of time and helps him concentrate while playing.”
This must be some kind of stereo recording device for special effects.
😶
Wait that's not safety glasses in case he breaks a string with the massive pizzs?
@@mikefung9145 that is probably the real reason, i mean, he is using his teeth...
Roman Kim invented more than those goggles... look up 'Roman Kim harmonics' this guy is as innovative as Paganini was during his time. He will set standards and legacy behind that might not surpass for centuries.
Brett & Eddy, my husband has incurable lymphoma, and has a wish only you can fulfill. He simply wants to see you react to the Michael Nyman Band playing "Knowing the Ropes" or "Eye for Optical Theory" or both. For good or for bad, he wants to know what professional violinists think, and his time to find out is limited. Your videos have brought him much joy during his illness. It's wonderful to have a funny musical break in the day. Thank you for that!

Yessss, roman kim is like one of my fav underappreciate violinist, argurably the best left hand of this era.
Listen to his other pieces, this guy is literally pushing the frontier of violin techniques.
He’s a Violinist’s FAV, though he doesn’t have very much public exposure. He can LITERALLY play circles (both technically and musically), around ANY current World-Class Soloist today.
Yesss, finally Roman Kim gets the attention he deserves!
YES THOUGHT THE SAME THING WHEN I SAW THE TITLE!
Yes! Finally!!!
yay
Legit thought the same thing myself!
I've been asking them in the comments for like 4 years, at least technically he's the best violinist alive today
There is no geekiness quite like Twoset’s geeking over a genius violinist!
This must be what it feels like being a side character in an anime witnessing the protagonist just waltzing through tests that should take 5000 years of intensive training to finish.
"This training normally takes lifetimes to master. We have 37 seconds so we're using the macguffin that has always existed that we never use for some reason." - anime training arc old man
This guy invented his own technique for playing anything in harmonics, in a flawless way. This is the number 1 argument to show he's not human. Very surprised you didn't talk about that!
We found what the TwoSet anime will be about:
Two young men, Brett and Eddy, are trying to become the best violinists they can. But other characters both younger and older come along to to defeat them easily. (such as Roman, Hillary, and other young prodigies) Each time they get defeated, though, they learn a new skill from that person who had defeated them, so they eventually become better as the series progresses. Even though they were defeated by basically everyone they don't have any beef/conflict with anyone afterwards.... except that one Violist in 1st grade. The violist is the one and only antagonist. They keep on demanding a rematch, but he never will give it to them.
And filler episodes could include boba dates, attempts to practice 40 hours straight, and obviously there has to be a beach episode.
If anyone starts making money off of my idea, I'm suing.
Good luck having anyone copy ur idea
And character development episode may include their mental health journey (I.e. the time Eddy was in wheelchair)
@@nanwijanarko1969 ooooooh yes
Holy shit. This must be made!!!!!
Become a manga artist, make this, then get money off of the anime adaptation.
Alternate title: TwoSet's braincells self-destructing over the span of 11 minutes
And 2 seconds
Reminds me of Dimash Kudaibergen. Many trained vocalist who hear him sing for the first time think it's fake until they see more of his performances and learn more about his history. There is simply no other vocalist in the world who can do what he does as well and he does it.
It doesn't necessarily make him the greatest singer of all time but he's still a technical master who is great fun to marvel at.
I love him!!
Twoset should react to his voice.
@@ifujoshiiweeb8991 Agreed, they've done videos on masters of many instruments and dimash is a master of the voice.
I thought the same while watching this video! Exactly the same comments that a vocal coach makes reacting to Dimash!! I would love to see my favorite youtube channel react to my favorite singer!!!
He is fantastic. Now he has released Beethoven's 5th symphony for solo violin, jeez, it's almost too much. What a talent he is, 41 hours a day of practice.
I'm a simple girl. I see Gojo, I click.
To understand how impressive this guy is, go check out his Wikipedia page. Apparently Ivry Gitis said Roman Kim was one of the most breathtaking violinists he's ever heard in his life.
"How many notes can a violin make at the same time?"
This man: "Yes"
dude ngl this guy is like the greatest violinist ever based on just skill, idk why he doesnt do concerts that much
Therapist: Mozart wrote Paganini doesn’t exist it can’t hurt you
Roman Kim: haha how bout no
lmao
If it was fake you wouldn't be able to hear his violin sound resonating in the room around him, but it is.
You think you can't fake resonating sounds?
Not saying that I believe he is fake, I'm just invalidating your argument.
@@Apoz there is a difference in the sound quality between reverb and echo in an empty room. Yes that difference is noticeable.
@@Thetrilingualreader not always tho
@@Thetrilingualreader Yes that difference is noticable, I'm just saying you can simulate resonance. So there wouldn't be any difference.
@@mateuszcielas3362 listen carefully in his eine kleine, it was very obvious even without headphones.
I remember watching him live back in 2019. He is LEGIT. He played his violin concerto and some solo piece, can't remember what it was. But when I first saw him with those glasses I was like "wtf is he wearing??" and I was with a friend and she looked just as confused as me. When he started playing though my mind was blown, even as a piano player
I think the glasses are to protect his eyes if a string breaks
i think the glasses is a camera
The glasses are for focus and concentration. He made them.
This guy is shifting like a cello on the violin. *mind blown* The stretch of his hand is just mind boggling. He obviously practices 80 hours a day. 16 days a week. 12 weeks a month. And 30 months a year.
He doesn't practice everyday😅
Attempt no. 9 at trying to get twoset to do this for a video.
Eddy has to listen to ten violinists play behind a screen. One of them will be Brett. He has to figure out which one. Once he has made his final guess they swap places. They can do it in rounds like the blind date videos.
Please like and comment if you want to see a video like this.
Please can someone put this on Reddit. Thanks
up !!
Oooooooooh👀
Yesss we need thatt
I also have a video idea:
Guess which audio excerpt is a real recording, amd which one is computer generated with VSTs
Eddy: "Maybe he's Paganini's long lost grand love child or something."
He's no alien. He's ROWANINI.
Mha fans be like: "gasp" PAGANINIS SECRET LOVE CHILD😂😂😂

**Plucking the string with teeth**
Haha looks like two set just uploaded another roasting video.
**Five minutes in**
Wait wth
This is like.. The best vid of twoset imo. Roman kim is absolutely surreal, and twoset's reaction/explanation is superb. Im not a musician but with this vid i can really appreciate the awesomeness of violin and roman kim.
Kudos to twoset for making this. I hv been replaying this vid more than 20 times and i am still entertained by it.
One of the very under-appreciated violin god in our lifetime. I've been following Mr. Kim for a few years, and every time when TwoSet is amazed by some incredible violinist, I was like... how about Mr.Roman Kim? Finally...
Mr.Kim composed quite a few incredible musics as well, and someone did mention his "I Brindisi" piece.. it's literally insane..
He controls the bow better than I control my life
I've been waiting for this for so long.

Your reactions are priceless. Well done. Now watch Roman playing Beethoven 5th symphony.

Partition for this!!!
Roman Kim is a beast of a player. I highly recommend your viewers to watch his I Brindisi and his Dies Irae, which I loosely patterned my work, Essence, after.
He's been called a Paganini reincarnate and pushes the boundaries on creating new sounds on the violin as well as covering other genres.
I'm so stoked you guys gave him coverage. Cheers and keep up the awesome work!
Brett: Feel dead inside and outside.
Eddy: Have no word to describe the guy playing.

That's me TwoSet and Gojo from JJK...sign me up
People who knew Roman Kim before TwoSet, ASSEMBLE!
His glasses are made of a special lens that helps him focus! Also if u look closely in his last videos u ll see that he has put mini FRETS in the violin...and finally his bow hair is made of special material thats why its black. I ve met him at Greece and hes a cool dude. The guy has made his own techniques and plays at his own league! u should definetly watch his cover on brindisi and u ll get some idea of what im talking about!

@@eriknystrom5839 u can do that-
My life is a lie
@@abigail40 Well, on cello you can, and he also plays the cello part.
I thought prodigies are the worst nightmare, but I guess not.
Roman Kim will not be surpassed during our lifetime. He's that amazing. He's also an amazing composer so his place in history is secured.
The shot during Eine Kleine Nachtmusik when you could see his fingers up close looked more like what you might see with classical guitar. I wonder if he has experience with the guitar or adapted any of those techniques for the violin.
His reach made me think he probably learnt the piano too 🤷♂️
I was thinking the same. However, guitar strings are much easier to pluck than violin strings (since that's what they're made for) so I'd assume his technique has to involve a lot more clamping or maybe even involve the fingernails?
@@SpaghettiToaster maybe he plays bass
Guitar to violin, sounds like something Paganini could do man
Jimmy Hendrix is one of his inspirations so yeah I'd say so
Please do a part 2!! This was so interesting to watch and it was amazing to get the breakdown of why his playing is so difficult for us non-playing viewers. It helps us get better at appreciating amazing playing!
Songs are comprised of many notes. Those notes are made to be played one at a time. If you have multiple notes, they're usually split up for multiple players to play. The song this guy played was split up for four different players to play at the same time. Instead, this guy played it all, at the same time, by himself.
And then there is everything his left hand did. Usually, that hand just pushes down on the string to get the different notes. In order to play the multiple parts, this guy was plucking the string with his left hand while also playing different notes with the bow.
I imagine a decent analogy is a busy restaurant where you have the hostess at the front, the waiter taking orders inside, and the chef in the back doing the cooking. With smaller food operations like food trucks, this is possible with just a single person. In a busy sit-down restaurant, you'll need multiple people to fill all the roles. Imagine how hard it will be to fill all the roles with just a single person. You'll need special equipment like maybe a wearable stove to cook while seating customers, with a pad of paper to also take orders. Instead of working each task like they're normally done, you'll need to change up each task so you can do them all simultaneously. That's pretty much what this guy just accomplished.
Doubt it will happen because, unfortunately, Roman Kim's ego didn't like being mentioned by Twoset because he says they are the "clowns of Classical music".
What a douche.
Great talent.
Still a douche.
"What planet are you from?"
Alien: "....from 60hrs a day"
