- You need abs like King K Rool to be able to play high notes on trumpet... that's how it works, right?

Pirate-infused jazz is something you never knew you needed until today! I played through DKC as a kid, and I think I do remember beating King K. Rool! I actually knew him from DK64 first (the N64 collectathon game that I grew up), so I was used to seeing him with boxing gloves!
Gangplank Galleon has long been on my list of tunes to cover, and I randomly came up with a cool reharm that I thought would be really useful for writing an arrangement of it. Gangplank Galleon's harmony, at least after the opening march section is pretty limited (mostly just staying in D minor), and while that works well for the original tune, I wanted to spice it up a bit! In a Twitch stream of mine, I spent some time comping up with a couple of different reharms for this tune, using both in this arrangement - one is the "main reharm" that the melody and solos are over, and the other is used at 4:24 underneath the build back to the main melody at the end.
Most notably, this arrangement features the most usage of trumpet yet in any one of my arrangements! I challenged myself with some fanfares during the march section of the video, and a whole trumpet solo. It took a lot of takes to get the parts right (and a lot of what you hear apart from the solo is comping of mulitple takes aided by some Melodyne), but I'm pretty happy with how the brass inclusion shaped up in this video. Sometimes, I find it funny how my channel icon is still the white saxophone on the blue background, when in actuality, that's not so much the focus of the channel anymore, these days! Of course, tenor sax will always be my primary instrument, but bringing in other instruments has really helped me get some additional cool colors!

It's not reharm, it's reharrrrrrm!
my new favorite comment
@@insaneintherainmusic What was your prior favorite comment? :P
@@TMD-2147official apologize
@@roppjonathan409 I agree, that pun was krool and unusual
@Axton Noah shut up
"Babe, wake up. Insaneintherain just dropped a new arrangement."
Jazz gamers
And I’d literally just been about to go to bed. Oh what the hell, a few minutes more won’t kill.
My gf and I actually do that :eyes:
Your profile picture is oddly fitting lol
Insaneintherain: playing Gangplank Galleon
Unused guitars hanging on the wall: *screaming internally*
Someday I'll actually practice guitar enough to use all those guitars on the wall lol
ACK OH NOOOO XD
guitar would be cool......
@@insaneintherainmusic someday you’ll have to make a croc and roll cover
I also see a trombone up there, but I don't think I've ever seen him play it
It’s neat that the arrangement is based on the original and not more like the Smash version.
I figured I'd go my own way, not much point to remaking what's already been done in the Smash version, imo!
@@insaneintherainmusic refreshing to be honest! And SOOOOO JAZZY! So smooth. So.... GOOD!
@@insaneintherainmusicIt's a fantastic take on that theme!
The smash version is faster
It's neat that the arrangement is based
Anyone who doesn't listen to Carlos: sea shanty? You mean like those pirate ones?
Me: now THIS is a real sea shanty
Needs more yo ho ho-ing from me to be a proper Sea Shanty haha
@@insaneintherainmusic That makes me realize how much I would be interested in seeing you cover Rumble with Wendy from Colour Splash. It definitely has a lot of yo ho ho-ing, and I think it's just a fun song in general that you could do a lot with.
No it isn't it's more of a jazz cover not a sea shanty
Never beat this game back in the day, lol. There was one jump in the mine carts.
Those were HARD
It never looks like you can make that one jump! Disadvantages of pseudo-3D...
For me it was the elevator antics level. I think it was in the frozen world. You had to do a roll jump from one lift going down to another going up. Timing that right was insane.
Game needs a remake with actual accessibility choices
Same, but with the "Torchlight Trouble" stage
The one dislike is from someone who got hit by k rool's back air in smash.
Better yet, it spiked. And on the last stock.
and the hitbox was jank but still connected
I mean personally i hate down smash more... spot dodge into down smash is a true combo
@@ronin2447 Skip the spotdodge, down smash IS the spotdodge (he’s in the air on frame 2 or 3)
@@chordalharmony dont forget belly armor
All rise for our national anthem
Hey, look, it's that song that people immediately think of when they hear the words "Smash Ultimate"
Really love this take on -the #1 most popular Smash Ultimate song- an absolutely iconic song, I hope David Wise himself gets to hear this, because listening to this arrangement got me almost as hyped as I was when I saw K. Rool's Smash reveal
Yo when your comment is condensed the strike through crosses out "Read more." That's really cool and I didn't know it could happen until now.
@@michaelvisosky743 Yeah, you’re right!
I don't understand this reference. I've never associated ultimate with any song but lifelight
whats the most popular then?
Those crocs in Louisiana be getting groovy...
Is that a reference to The Princess and the Frog?
@@alexbrooks5676 Yeah, the combo of crocs and jazzade me think of Louis 🐊
All we need now is the Megalovania x Gangplank Galleon full version.
Yes!
Please
My ears would discharge with immense gratitude
I was literally just going to comment that you cheater! But anyway I agree and therefore liked this comment don't @ me
@@THEPurpleEgg
That piano solo was beautiful
Yo, king, let me put some ice on those fingers, that double bass playing was fire! You're a huge inspiration for a bass player like myself, thank you for all these incredible performances.
Thank you! My intonation is not fantastic but I'm always working on it!
@@insaneintherainmusic I love seeing how you've improved and learned more instruments over the last couple years
obvs your sax has always been spot on, but branching into strings, brass and whatever family accordion comes under, is something many struggle with, huge props! Also, great arrangement as always :D
I play classical on double bass but that was pretty cool
This just reminds me of the absolutely amazing mashup with megalovania you did in the video game jazz medley. I could not stop listening to it lol. This is great, thank you!
Lol, I knew I had to do a full version!
@@insaneintherainmusic Out of curiosity, I assume that mashup was a direct reference to that Gangplank Galleon in Smash Ultimate that randomly breaks into Megalovania half way through?
@@niallmullins3398 other way around
This is what goes through a k rool main’s mind when they walk down the street
I can confirm this.
dont forget k rool’s walk
M-Maybe...
Truuuuue
Just like Careless Whisper with crouching DDD’s
You are imagining K K Rool mains as much more complex and intelligent than they actually are.
imagine this song but played by a kazoo and the player eats glue.

1:37 I love this part! its so cool that you learned the accordion just for Kass's theme and now can use it whenever you want for other songs! 🎺🐊
Yeah! That's generally my process for picking up something new - I usually want it to play one particular song, and then I just kinda use it wherever in the future!
Carlos, you need to be arrested under the grounds of making a criminally smooth arrangement of an iconic theme.
I love the inclusion of accordion in a lot of these recent covers!
It's been fun to play around with! I really hate the buttons side though.. lol
I don't think I've ever been so excited for a notification tbh
And for good reason holy SHIT this is good
Glad you like it! :)
I feel like you can always listen to Carlos' arrangements no matter how you are previously attached to the original.
If you're nostalgic, all the emotions swell up before the *jazz* comes in.
If you know it in kind of a meme way, you have a previous theme to hang on to, and it gives you a bridge to get into what makes jazz sound good to you.
If you don't actually know the original to begin with, it makes you discover some video game which you can take an interest in.
Thank you for bringing us all that passion, interest and personnality in all your covers. And don't hesitate to go further or your original concepts as well! They already sound sweet and I'd love to see what you could come up with if you spent more time on your own themes and the multiple solo loops idea.
All in all good job and thank you as always
I know none of the original songs he covers, but I just love his arrangements
Not to mention that even if you both don’t know the original piece and have no interest in video game scores, I’ve seen comments under his videos from people with no knowledge about video games who still appreciate the arrangements as their own piece without knowing or wanting to know the source material
The tone goes from fun, to dark, to jazzy, then to JAZZY! MAN I love this one :D
You think he is skilled by this amazing arrangement and playing all the instruments with such perfection.
But he's true skill was never to go full psycho mode on this song, and keep it jazzy.
Not every woodwind player can play a trumpet and make it sound THAT good - that's an achievement in and of itself. Well done :)
I was initially thrown off by how tonally different this was from the original, but the style grew on me significantly as it progressed. I really like your spin on it!
I definitely get what you mean by tonally different. Carlos does a real good job of that. Every time his Green Hill Zone cover comes up in my Spotify playlist, it takes me forever to recognize that it’s actually GHZ.
That piano section was very nice!
Ah it’s so weird finally hearing all of it put together after watching the streams, but of course it’s fantastic as always!
Here it is boys.
Edit: Geez that piano section is great
i remember thinking this channel was hot stuff when it was just like sax, piano, bass and digital drums... the full multiinstrumentalism era of insaneintherain is a real treat
This is such a cool version of this song, like it was already sick and you just made it like 10x cooler, the solos especially I thought were just so SMOOTH
This was a blast to listen to! Those jazz chords were absolutely fire!!!
I got hyped when I saw the hint yesterday, and I was definitely not disappointed!!
Also that piano solo section was AMAZING 💯💯 (i know a bunch of people have said this already but I WANT TO VOICE MY OPINION TOO)
This song is usually so fanfare but here it’s so elegant with that piano and the slower tempo
He know how to play the accordion now, and damnit he's gonna use it
Carlos, more than half of my jazz playlist is your music. Good job and keep on goin
Interviewer: So- Carlos, yes? What instruments do you play?
InsaneinTheRain: Yes. Yes.
The switch between duple and triple rhythms on the drum kit at 4:13 just blew me away!
I woke up this morning, and it’s my birthday, and it’s a great day, and Carlos uploaded a cover of my favorite video game song!! Life is great! :)
My mouth legit fell open when I saw you uploaded this. I didn't think your next release would be this good. Incredible job, once again.
With all these instruments, Carlos is quickly becoming the James Morrison of video game jazz arrangements
Ohhh baby the actual perfection of this music ohhhhh
Omg the nostalgia! Thank you Carlos! Good to see you're still having fun with the accordion.
Man, I love this! The accordion works so well with the trumpet and the sax.
Certainly an interesting take. Most covers go the bombastic route, with loud and powerful brass, forgoing the piano almost entirely.
This is a much more nuanced experience, and adds a layer of depth I felt was missing from most other versions.
So, thanks
Literally a week ago I was looking for a jazz cover of this song but couldn't find one I was satisfied with. You read my mind!
i love how chill you made it compared to the battles and bosses arrangement. definitely a new favorite!
That intro was the _best_ rendition of it I've heard thus far, it captured the sea shanty feel so well aaaaa
No waaaay. I just spent a half hour looking for covers of this very song and now my favorite music youtuber posts a vidoe of the song. Maybe this year isnt so bad after all
This man has not only one-up me with another instrument but in fitness too??? YOU TRYNA GET BUFF TOO??? LOL
maybe I haven't been paying attention enough as of late, but your bass and drums skills have gotten significantly better. I also very much appreciated the accordion, especially that really fast background melody towards the end
one of my fav themes from donkey kong country and as always you turned it into something even more beautiful than before
You are so consistent at putting out crisp, quality, content and I always come back :)
Acoustic bass + ride cymbal = instant jazz
I won't lie, this is amazing, but it's still only my second-favorite arrangement of the piece you've done. The Battles & Bosses arrangement will always hold a special place in my heat.
I still hear Megalovania in this song from that big gaming medley you did a while back, but this is still a great more chill version! Keep up the good work!
That piano part blew my mind!
dude... the tone on that trumpet is soooooo crisp.... amazing
This arrangement is so much more chill than I expected and I absolutely love it.
Lovjng the sax and trumpet dynamic going on, and the accordion as always
Why you gotta make me cry to a donkey kong country song 😭 nice job man, incredible cover!!
I'm really loving the accordion in your arrangements lately
Long live the king! This is very good. It has just the right amount of energy. Though I'm typing my thoughts as the video goes on. Oh now we're picking up, oh yes this is very good. I was partially expecting you to go full on Ultimate remix of this song, but no, you're keeping the original but also injecting the high energy into it somehow. And we're calm again about halfway through now. Stream of consciousness comment writing is weird, let me tell you. The accordion is adding a whole lot even if it is quieter, it's subtle but very appreciated. Man this is just really good, probably going to be listening to this regularly now.
Wow ... this song just threw me into the past ... like legit down memory lane
Aye that trumpet playing is sounding legit👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
The Jazz boss is back ! always a pleasure to hear you, keep it up :-)
What a great song from DKC2! Probably my second favorite song from the game only behind stickerbush symphony. Interesting arragement too!
I love how this sounds exactly right for a pirate. Good stuff.
Who knew the Timbre of Sax and Accordion could sound so dope! :D
this tune has been stuck in my head all week and now you do this..
works for me ♥
Taking that bass for a WALK!
I'd say well done, but you already know it's killer.
💪
Have NOT been able to stop listening to this for the past 4 days, that reharm is so fresh ⛽🔥
You are undoubtedly my favorite musician!
Oh baby it came out. Was there for the livestream and it lived up to the hype
This is probably one of my favorite covers of yours now. Really nice work!
I remember K rool standing up after credits with this. Genuinely, one of the most terrifying moments of my childhood xD
Aaaaaaaa I fucking love you Carlos. Only you can make me love music from a game I never played. Not the first time, sure won't be the last. :D
you did so much cool stuff in this arrangement, holy smokes. your accordion chord swells (so lush), the walking bass fills during the first sax solo, and the progression on the piano 🥰🥰🥰🥰 it's insane how talented you are, you really did this one justice
A superb cover as per usual Carlos. You continue to blow me away every time. I wish to be half as talented as you one day! - Keep up the amazing work man!
Not to mention, I’m absolutely loving the all-live setup you’ve had for a little while now. It all sounds amazing, especially those drums!!
Very talented to be able to play all 4 of the main instrument family's flawlessly. I know few people that can play a woodwind and a brass instrument nevermind percussion, string, woodwind, and a brass instrument.
Man, it still feels weird to me seeing you playing any brass instrument. I'm definitely glad to still be able to listen to new quality music from you.
This is what I expect to hear on the streets of Munich (with a lot more instruments of course)! This sounds great!
Excellent arrangement as usual! I'm so happy I found this channel and get to enjoy this great music!
ahhhh, this came together so nicely!! seeing parts of it in stream was really fun, and they sounded lovely on their own, but the finished product just ties everything together. and the accordion! wheew. what a banger.
Ay shout outs to the mix! Everything feels so alive, it like I could transcribe every note for every instrument 😌
That's the best compliment I can get on a mix, thank you so much :)
love that bass line, those crescendo Decrescendos hit differently :)
I love seeing you play trumpet! Its so cool to see as a trumpet player myself. Really like the original and this one slaps just as hard!
playlist-worthy as usual.....wonderful job!!
This is so AWSOME dude!!! It was beautiful! I know you typically do Pokemon jazz covers but holly hell man you would make some AMAZING Fire Emblem Covers! This give's me major Premium Arrange vibes from the Fire Emblem series. Keep up the great work man!
Thanks a bunch! I have a few Fire Emblem arrangements from a few years ago, maybe check those out!
One of the best video game songs and I love your take on it
When I arrange for my students (HS band director here), I like the fact that I know exactly who will be playing the parts and they're capabilities. I suppose that phenomenon is even more prevalent for you, when you're arranging for yourself 😁
A lot more jovial then expected don’t know why expected aggressive with a high bpm but that’s not a bad thing it more enjoyable to listen to like this
I’m extremely impressed with how much you’ve improved on trumpet
Well, Carlos. I can only say you're my favorite Loop Hero character, since i'm listening to your covers while i try to unlock achievements with the game muted every afternoon xD
I’ve seen so many covers of this song try to copy the smash version. While those are still good, I love that you made it your own! Great work Carlos!
Agree! I've honestly maybe only listened to the Smash version like... 2 or 3 times - I was more going for something true to the original :)
The piano part around 1:30 gives me mad Chick Corea vibes and I love it
WOO! I was real excited for this one
Wow. I have heard of you before awhile ago, but not actually listened to your work before yesterday. My loss! What a fine load of music you make! Your talents are incredible. Now to marathon everything you ever uploaded. :)
Thank you! There’s a huge backlog, haha, lots to dig around in!
Love the accordion!! Keep up the fabulous work!
Dyngus Day was just a few days ago, and now the trumpets and accordion are here!
YEEEESSSSSS THIS IS AMAZING
THANK YOU, CARLOS
I haven't visited the channel in ages and damn I've missed out on a lot of good stuff. Excuse me as I binge all your videos Carlos
RIP free sheet music. I guess that's the tradeoff we get for a more professional Carlos in a musical and business sense. Great work as always!
