Ok, this is honestly insane. A week ago I was watching The8BitDrummer's Sonic Mania "medley" again and I SWEAR I thought to myself "Why hasn't Carlos made a cover of Studiopolis? That would make so much sense" Did I wish this into existence?
A minute ago I was watching this arrangement, and I SWEAR I thought to myself "Why hasn't there been a drum solo yet? That would make so much sense" Did I wish it into existence?

"Are you gonna have great drumming?" "NO! NO! NO!" "Are you gonna have great sax/EWI?" "NO! NO! NO!" "Are you gonna have both?" "YES, YES, YES, Oh my God..."
I’ve not even listened to this yet and I’ve already added this to my liked videos list, it’s like having your two favourite foods back to back but in this case it’s my two favourite musicians ❤️
Over a year ago I used this version of the song on a IG story, but never ever knew who nor how pulled it out this clean Mad respect to both of you to pay justice to such incredible piece, and very special thanks to TH-cam for recommending it out of nowhere right now
I love that the EWI is getting a bunch of use in recent compositions. Hell, you’re the reason I first learned it existed, so...thanks for showing me this brilliance.
Yeah! It's a wonderful instrument. I'll be using it in situations where it's appropriate, though. These past few videos have had... very many opportune situations haha
insaneintherainmusic Yeah, it’s pretty great. I’m really busy this weekend, but I’ll try and see what I can come up with as a big ol’ review or something more than just the obligatory “Oh hey, this is pretty dang cool.”
Haha thank you! That was actually a mistake honestly, the EWI has a switch that you can turn on to let you hold notes past the first note you play, and that switch is right next to the other switch that turns on octave doubling (which was the one I was _actually_ trying to hit). So that note at the top of the chorus at 2:32 was totally a mistakenly held half step... but I actually really like how it sounds at that spot! Happy accident :)
I know, right? I think the reason I waited so long to cover this song was because I could never find an instrument that could handle that really difficult run at the very beginning of the song. It fits on the EWI PERFECTLY, though!
@@insaneintherainmusic oh cool. I love it so much. 😍😎. Thanks for replying keep up the great content. God bless you. Truly one of a kind. Kudos to the 8bitdrummer as well! Such Superb talent 👌
I'm actually really happy with this video thumbnail - I think it very accurately represents the feelings you'll get when you click on it and watch the video, haha, thank you Morgan!
I love how you can just see 8-bitdrummer enjoying this as if it as just another one of his streams. Also I the editing on these videos I can't remember if you do it or not but its still really good!
@Taycool I'm not Etika in the afterlife, so I can't confirm, but wouldn't he be happier if people remembered him as a happy memory instead of getting sad anytime his name is mentioned?
I’ve never played any video games outside of the Pokémon series but I love the absolute hell out of every single one of these uploads. It’s definitely a testament to the brilliance of video game music, as well as these arrangements. Thanks for another great one.
Fantastic, it definitely feels like a very respectful arrangement to the Sonic funky energy. And of course the happiest drummer alive made it even better
I am finally caught up on your music! I just listened to "Forward" and my God was that an amazing experience (and a great way to begin the work day) and this is pure funk and groove! Today just got better. Thank you again for all the hard work Carlos! Two questions I have for you now: 1. Will we be seeing more of the EWI? 2. Will you be making more original music (of course whenever you have the time, I wouldn't imagine it's easy creating a song from scratch)?
I don't believe I am the eight view of this and I was just thinking of playing this song in my alto saxophone Love this cover The channel and this song
I'm no musician. I just like listening. So I was ultimately amazed when the first shot was a guy blowing into what I presume to be an electric flute. Didn't know we where in the future already. Cool
This was so fun to work on! Thanks for having me on dude! :D
Thanks for lending your funny faces and enthusiasm to the video :^)
This was one of the best covers I've ever seen of one of my favorite songs ever! You guys ROCK!!!
lmao when you made the gesture of playing the instrument with your drumsticks haha
Gentlemen?
Incredible collaboration! Hope to hear more from you two! ^_^
2:08 not sure of that megalovania drop was intended, but I still appreciated it
Oh it was very intentional. I wanted to see what Jerod's reaction would be LOL
@@insaneintherainmusic Thank you for mentioning this, his face is AMAZING there
@@insaneintherainmusic Oh god, I didn't notice it until you mentioned it.
Remember when he Rickrolled us in the Big Blue cover?
I didn't notice that, that's amazing.

Why're talking about 4d chess?

If it WAS you doing, I sincerely thank you for doing so lol
Reality can be whatever I want...
2:08 *casually plays megalovania*
Edit: lmao look at Jerod's face when he realizes what he played
That Megalovania drop and Jerod's face when he hears that always gets me to chuckle.
I HEARD THAT
Aw yeah jazz fusion, just like T Square
Yep, just like Tianemen Square

Absolutely! Amazing arrangement!

2:08 You feel the jazz smoothing down your spine💀🌀
LMAOOO
You've got to respect Jerod's masterful playing at 3:12
10/10
More like his masterful playing all throughout the song hah
I love how it makes it to the end screen too!
Drums are okay, too.
The collab we don't deserve but we needed.
I love bringing fun collabs to this channel - especially with people you might not expect. More crossovers imminent.
@@insaneintherainmusic Just like with Lena Raine collabing with you on pigstep

@@mycrushisachicken ......oops
You are great
thanks a bunch!
0:50 ooooooooh, Jerod that fill was clean!!
Great work both of you, this cover looked like a lot of fun to produce!
Thanks a bunch! It was so so so much fun. Jerod makes anything 10x more fun.
Does that wind synth use saxophone fingerings? Because you just picked it up and flexed on every living organism like an absolute chad.
I love this comment
You can indeed set it to have sax fingerings
And here I was thinking it was impossible to turn Studiopolis Zone's theme into any more of a bop...
All it took was throwing in some 8BitDrummer into the mix!
@@insaneintherainmusic a bop?
More like a frickin skat, this is amazing!
Okay, but can we stop and respect Jerod's radical saxophone skills at 3:12? The mad man absolutely killed it.
OH MY GOD THE MADLAD DID IT
EDIT: 2:08 WAS THAT MEGALOVANIA
Holy fuck didn't even notice this, great catch
@@kerguelen_cabbage oh no I didn't mean it sarcastically my bad, I really did not notice it
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE TO NOTICE THIS!!!
LOL TRUE HAHAHA
followed shortly after with a bit of spider dance !

Haha thank you!

@@insaneintherainmusic Totally a great sound 😍
insaneintherainmusic we don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents
Man, I love the sound of the EWI at the beginning! Fits so perfect, amazing!
I know, right? I think the reason I waited so long to cover this song was because I could never find an instrument that could handle that really difficult run at the very beginning of the song. It fits on the EWI PERFECTLY, though!
I can't wait for you to use the EWI in other covers that would fit very well :D
Can you insert the time at which this happens
Killer! I caught that Megalovania quote at 2:08 you sly dog 😏
All I want is to enjoy drumming as much as 8bit. He looks like he's having the time of his life!
* sees video * oh cool another video game jazz cov-
“Feat. The8bitdrummer”
*P E R F E C T I O N*
hearing a digital instrument pulling off those distinctly analog, jazzy notes that require deft fingering.. it's a joy.
0:58 watching The 8BitDrummer mouth the lines was amazing
Holy crap, this cover is gorgeous! How did it take me 4 years to find this?!
God I’ve been waiting for this crossover for centuries
happy to finally make it real!
Your profile picture fits this comment perfectly.
the drummer mouthing every sound just shows how great this song is
and how much he is into the song!!
Crossover of the century let’s go!
Zoinks Man maybe not century, the insaneintherainmusic and Jonny Atma crossover was only last year. Crossover of the year works though.
There are still more crossovers to be had...
That instrument at the beginning captured the intro superbly
It's an EWI (electronic wind instrument)!

It's video game music's version of The Lick.

Someone should edit Etika's reaction to the stardust speedway track to this video
Oh my god I need to see this meme

@Taycool I'm not Etika in the afterlife, so I can't confirm, but wouldn't he be happier if people remembered him as a happy memory instead of getting sad anytime his name is mentioned?
2:08 I know I didn't just hear megalovania
Another masterpiece for the books! Also, shout-out to the 8-Bit Drummer, he looked like he was having the time of his life on the drums!
He _always_ looks like he's having the time of his life on the drums, it's just a little scary...
3:11 and this is why I love you 8Bit.
YEEEEEESSSSSSS FINALLYYYYYYY! That call and response with Synth and Sax is amazing.
Thanks :D I knew that would be a fun way to orchestrate the song!
What in the funky fresh HECK is that giant grey NES peripheral-looking thing?!
Great job! Both of you crushed it.
Never clicked on a notification so fast in my life. And it's one of my favorite Sonic stage themes. Another awesome cover knocked out of the park!
Thanks a bunch Quentin :D

The big band segment at the end really was the cherry on top

@@insaneintherainmusic Funny thing is I requested this a while back. Kinda ironic huh?
This is so sick and sweet. Watching musicians enjoying the process is such fun

YES! Best track from Mania
At 2:09, you hear the starting notes for Megalovania. Other than that, it's awesome. What an excellent piece. Have a wonderful day!
2:07 Some Megalovania would be nice?)
Nice to know that im not the only one who heard that
