EPIC Adele: Rolling In The Deep

Hey Folks, here is my first ever KZbin video! A big fan of trailer music, this is a re-imagining of Adele's Rolling in the Deep. It's a great tune and one that lends itself to this style of music; not wanting to rely on samples alone I gathered some friends and acquaintances to record and film it live. Hope you enjoy!

One thing I must emphasise is that this is amazing and epic. With that in mind, this doesn’t at all sound like Rolling In The Deep.

[@XandriaRavenheart]

First off, this doesn't sound anything like Adele...but it sounds like Hans Zimmer!!!!!! Which is waaaaay better in my opinion! :D

[@christopherhubberste]

Agree!! Totally Hans Zimmer. Sounds awesome tho.

[@PalestineWillBeFreeee]

Your first epic rendition cover. My favorite epic rendition cover.

[@LandoNati0n]

I am shocked that this has not gotten more views. An absolute masterstroke! Encore!

[@King1Street]

I completely agree. The time it must have taken to create this masterpiece deserves WAY more views and likes

[@PalestineWillBeFreeee]

Happy ten years anniversary of the release of the video that helps me discover my passion, music and orchestra.

[@PloufsPuppet]

This should be used in an epic movie final. Well done!

[@maxime8221]

yes so much, i think to game of thrones for exemple

[@AnthonyLeighDunstan]

Dude, seriously, this is a whole other piece! I mean that as a compliment. You've transformed Adele's original into something else - I barely reconise it. You've effectively "stolen" Adele's song , as Stravinsky would say. And that's saying a lot. It's epic man!

[@FLIPP0P0TAMUS]

I have never heard something this beautiful... I want this song playing 24/7

[@ECHSBACHS]

WOW !

[@0XCherry0X]

Wow, this was amazing. Many people in the comment section obviously don't understand what "epic" really means.

[@Ailyseuh]

It's awesome! I'm waiting for your next video.

[@edgemin220]

You guys are awesome. Looking forward to more videos.

[@eyelidman09]

Wonderful Ross. Truly talented!

[@farheenhussain6022]

Whoaa... Love this. LOTR, The Hobbit and the Harry Potter done this way would be simply incredible. Please make more covers :)

[@TigerRinger]

EPIC indeed. Great effort and commitment by all involved, amazing sound and interpretation, and finally tremendous persuasive and organisational skills to bring it all together. Look forward to the full album!

[@Weinmaste]

it sounds like a batman movie theme song........except much better!! Love the intro, like someone is about to go into battle!!

[@user-xj5wj9zl1m]

Шедеврально, буря эмоций!!!

[@Venteh]

I was not expecting that! *goosebumps*

[@fpham8004]

[@beemer127]

Brilliant & beautiful. I would love an album of more like this.

[@Tullamoreinthemist]

Loved it! Really cool piece of music...however it was very difficult to hear the original tune in this rendition...basically sounded like it's own piece of music.

[@jaredwilson7277]

[@nohamcatherine7624]

[@raphaelhudson]

I don't recognise the original much, but this is top quality movie music

[@pro-hh6bx]

BRAVO

[@cenonjrlee3779]

WOW!

[@korndogpa57]

I loved this! Now, where can we buy it????

[@monchhichifan1715]

Hi,this was very good. I Love play with my bariton.

[@kit-katyshka]

Рвет на куски.. Классная вещь!

[@hoscha72]

Has not really much to do with Adele's song - but VERY VERY VERY MUCH BETTER!!

[@elfberry]

I sadly have to admit I can't hear any semblance to the original song, but this was still pretty cool. You guys should do ”Time” from Inception. Just saying.

[@ahmadalabdaljalil888]

one thing can be said guys.you are really awesome

[@alisonlili6387]

Ça you play "The Hobbit" and How to train your dragon? Please! I love your music! :D

[@agatho876]

This is not rolling in the deep but it is so great!!!

[@mummyboy]

Brilliant. Ok, so now where are the other videos .... ? ;)

[@anastazia64]

Amazing so epic i like it more even though that it no sounds not at all like rolling in the deep

[@SHINPEIVideoGrapher]

やばい！！！

[@aaliyahsmith2114]

Can you play Adele Hello please. I love your music and I'm a Pisces.

[@zadkielrivera8165]

I hear a little bit of Adele and also Linkin Park pretty solid performance

[@SaarGrin]

this is epic, but what does this have to do with adele?

[@Weinmaste]

Sounds like a Batman entrance!!

[@Tkibbs14]

You guys inspired me to make French Horn choirs! I'm new to recording stuff in my home. I use USB microphones... I have 2 room Mics and one bell mic. I'm doing compositions and improv and stuff on SoundCloud... look up Tyler Kimball on SoundCloud.

[@davidmourao7923]

Are you Hans Zimmer???? Personally I think this work doesn't sound like Adele but you did an amazing job! Kepp posting!

[@narytardv6]

I love this. But i also love Adele and i feel kinda robbed because the only part the really comes through is the "we could of had it all" lyrical motif from the chorus. Again, love this, but its so varied from the original its hardly fair to call this an arrangement of Rolling in the Deep. Granted, I havent seen the score to either song and my ears aren't perfect. But just so we're clear, I absolutely love this video.

[@mypetcrow9873]

I am well acquainted with the original. I can’t begin to identify this piece as gorgeous as it is as rolling in the deep by Adele. There’s something to be said for sticking closer to the original.

[@danielchmiel3410]

Hail king Ragnar !

[@sebastianz.773]

it's awesome, but didn't sound at all like adelle :P

[@huntercornwell7233]

This seriously belongs in the BF1 OST.

[@KostisPat257]

This is incredibly awsome, and epic of course, but it has nothing to do with Adele or Rollin in the deep, it's more like Hans Zimmer...

[@tomgxz]

Where can I get the music score for this? (serious question)

[@pianomaker9896]

This a very very amazing ! Looks like Two Steps From Hell, fuck ! :p

[@tomgxz]

Is there a place where i can download this? Because i would really like my orchestra which i play in to do it.

[@andremagalhaes65]

What is the name of that big drum in the beginning of the video?

[@tarondarcy7195]

Fantastic! If i could make a wish - you should do work together with Lindsey Stirling! :-)

[@keyanoronha]

This sounded a lot like the soundtrack for Allegiant

[@martharlloyd]

Duncan Lloyd icon

[@rainbowdaughter5844]

Howard Shore plz

[@tristetheelf]

Rolling in the (Helm's)Deep

[@censored4513]

It's great! But it doesn't sound like adele, rolling in the deep. Is totally diffrient. But it is really great :)

[@thekingsofwarriors5112]

kalau aku ada negara sendiri,aku nak buat music lagu ni jadi lagu negara aku..

[@fbs2070]

Almost a decade.

[@RizRamadhan]

Magnificent arrangement. But can I ask something? I don't mean to be disrespectful but I just wonder why did you use very very bold layered samples over the orchestra? Honestly, it sounds like the samples do play the whole thing rather than the live instruments there.. it's almost like a women with too much make up (sorry to say)... I do aware that the number of your players (especially the strings) might be an issue, that it couldn't reach huge symphonic sound but I think the original instruments sounds can be induced more by themselves I mean like doubling them or rather than covered with samples. I think the sound of chamber format could be maintained as bold or as full as you want with the right partition, dynamics, etc. And there are enough brass players and percussions to make big full sounds even without samples.. Even if samples used, it's better if the aim is to fill the missing instruments such as violas or woodwinds, or simply just to add more volume rather than to overwhelm the whole thing. Once again I didn't mean to be disrespectful to your works. This is simply just a little opinion :) Overall this is a great arrangement.. bravo!!

[@juanignaciorayes6085]

it sounds more like "sweet child o mine" than Adele.... it was amazing anyway.

[@suyashgupta777]

The only semblance of rolling in the deep i heard was after 3:30.. Its good on its own though.. but not at all as the Rolling in the deep.

[@alisonlili6387]

Can you* sorry

[@konradkakonrad895]

Adele is nothing comparing with this...

[@MakeMusic88]

Amazing!

[@danielchmiel3410]

Hail king Ragnar !
