Test Drive - HTTYD - Epic Orchestral Cover [ Kāru ]

[@KnightsofGaming2016]

All rise for our national anthem

[@daviddesko1929]

This is the way

[@lupinsredjacket3191]

This should be Berk's National Anthem, honestly.

[@shilohmagic7173]

Rising now

[@FutureRailProductions]

Agreed!

[@TSkillessB]

Yes this is!

[@Andaisdet]

I swear this guy makes the best orchestral covers, mixing that with the already awesome music of How To Train Your Dragon was the brew for the perfect drink This is amazing!

[@ZakoZeWacko]

This has got to be one of my favourite out of the HTTYD covers hands down. 2:11 this part can speak for its self.

[@craftman780]

Brought a tear to my eye :'3

[@co7814]

Can't listen to this without getting chills or goosebumps... I'm kinda jealous of Hiccup tbh He gets to ride the greatest dragon of all time!!!

[@boombang0418]

For some reason I always see that part as a jet recovering from a flat spin and rocketing back into the sky at the last second.

[@CoolrexAAAAAAA]

Just got chills

[@novaliska8847]

Now this is my most favorite soundtrack in the entire HTTYD trilogy! There's just so much emotion and power put into this piece that you can't help but get a grin as you listen to it and remember every moment Hiccup and Toothless overcame the challenges before them to prove what no one believed they could do. You did a magnificent job capturing that energy again and enhancing it, Kāru! Thank you so much for these amazing versions of these iconic songs! I look forward to what masterpieces you give us next! My guess is like with your previous trilogy, you are covering DreamWorks most iconic movies. How To Train Your Dragon, Kungfu Panda, and possibly Shrek as the last one. If that's the case, I'm sure we are all in for a heck of an emotional ride and a delightful treat of sound for our ears! Till next time, stay healthy and I wish you the best, Kāru!

Thank you! I am possibly doing a Duology, hence the next medley May possibly a fitting next entry after HYTYD 👀

[@Doctor_C_Jack]

@ I thought it was going to be another trilogy. Do I need to change the name of the playlist I made from "Trilogy" to "Duology"?

[@magmafang]

Your orchestrations always have a different yet nonetheless entrancing taste, and I very much enjoy listening to them.

[@kittyqveen3249]

This literally should be the end credits of HTTYD 3 especially this part of the song: 2:23 with this picture would be beautiful ❤️

[@lachocolatchaud]

Time to use this as my ringtone

[@starflight_wof39]

the fact that you post on an almost daily basis is amazing

Oh these are excerpts from my already finished Epic Orchestral Medley! I upload them daily for a few days, but I would actually take a month or two to finish a new soundtrack cover 😁

[@faustinemabellesenoputri8079]

2:10, the greatest nostalgic ever!!!

[@jimmyjonron1553]

I am in actual disbelief. I did not expect for this one piece to bring me so much emotion. This is outstanding work, keep doing what you do because your pieces are only going to sound better. Thank you.

[@Ritbulau]

Best Epic Orchestral Cover of Test Drive. It's not too far removed from the original, but at the same time it stands out for the epicness new to the track.

[@24KMarii]

Who ever created this franchise has my respect for life

[@maxhendrix6846]

This is honestly the best orchestral cover I've headed of this piece

[@elrobotman9856]

Todavía recuerdo cuando ví la primera película hace años, me encantó desde pequeño

[@thataintfalco7106]

también lo conocí, este fue un momento increíble en él!

[@kabirsharma5604]

The French horns!!!

[@thecherrio4513]

The last movie picture, then having one from the fist hit my chest so hard. It's such a beautiful part of the soundtrack, and this really does it so well. It's so beautiful.

[@let_s-play-loona]

I swear I felt like like flying on a dragon over the mountains, this is soooooo amazing!!!

[@ego-lay_atman-bay]

I honestly didn't realize HTTYD stood for How To Train Your Dragon before clicking on this video, I just recognized he ttle of the song, being test drive. Amazing cover though. Love it so much.

[@OrchestraEclipse]

Yes! The best song from the franchise

[@captainostory]

I really like the background you used. Especially the background of how to train your dragon 1 reminds me of the good times when I was a kid watching how to train your dragon 1 with my family, which was the best time ever. Thank you for reminding me of the good times as a child with how to train your dragon.☺ Good Luck .👍 Happy Valentine's Day.💗

[@ckcanadalla]

I Swear This Is The Best Orchestal He Ever Made I Rrally Really Love It

[@multiverse_media2023]

"Okay bud, let’s take this nice and slow. Position 3, no 4."

[@TheHorrorPlant]

Wether it’s Gravity Falls, songs, Owl House, HTTYD, and now PvZ, your incredible with what you can do

[@earystudio]

Your Orchestral covers always inspire me..😍😍😍

Thank you! I am honoured! 😁

[@foxnov4000]

I'm a simple man, I see a magnificent Test Drive cover, I subscribe.

[@death_walker21]

this sounds like one one those songs that Vikings play during ceremonies and the orchestral version makes it better

[@wkblack]

Wow. That bit right after two minutes just started up tears in me... I'm so happy to have found your channel!

[@Somebody-yt1kt]

This dude takes already good songs and makes them 1 trillion times better

[@weirdfantasy00]

I only discovered you today and found all of your work I've listened tothus far so beautiful, each one gave me goosebumps. With Love Comes a Great Waterfall would sound so freaking epic.

[@artielikesthings]

there's only so many times i can proclaim every song my favourite song before people start thinking i can't actually pick a favourite xD

[@azurite_-]

Ain't no way this channel doesn't have 1M+ subs , this is criminally underrated! Your work is professionaly handled and its insane how this doesn't get the attention it deserves. In conclusion I love ur work its so unique!

[@unorthodox1227]

I'm not sure how you made Test Drive epic, but you did, and you did a wonderful job!

[@Hiccup_haddock_IV]

Sometimes I think if berk is real and dragons are still in berk

[@night_suzhou_3753]

This animated movie is my favourite nothing goes in front of it's place in my book I love it!

[@Dookieman1975]

This song still gives me chills and the dopamine and adrenaline rush is more addictive and powerful than what any woman or drug can do to me, every single time. I feel like I’m flying with beasts when this blares through my speakers. And believe me, when I say that when I saw and heard that scene of hiccup and toothless ballin and learning how to fly with Test Drive BOOMING into my soul as a kid for the first time, this scene ruined me and has left a mark that cannot be erased. I am terrified of roller coasters and amusement park rides like that but this makes me want to ride a dragon or fly or even go on a roller coaster and gives me the same feeling people must. This and spiderman swinging have me willing to grow some balls and wanting to do something daring. My biggest regret in life is never seeing the first two movies in theaters cuz this movie and especially the test drive scene and song managed to remain a core memory from the moment I saw it when I was like 5 years old and I can’t even remember what I ate for lunch yesterday. If universal doesn’t have Test Drive BLASTING THROUGH LITERAL SIRENS AND I DONT FEEL LIKE IM RIDING A DRAGON, I will not go on those rides they’re working on for HTTYD land

[@xShadow_MD]

I am so glad i found your channel. Got to listen to this beautiful creation. Love HTTYD till today. Really felt the nostalgia listening to this.

[@kestrel-wylde]

You've done an absolutely phenomenal job of this wonderful peace that I hold so dearly.I wish you the best of luck for the future!

Thank you! 😁✨

[@henryisthere]

2:11 onward, this is magnificent! I can’t help but imagine this in a live action scene. For some reason, a gritty and realistic sword fight comes to mind possibly with Hiccup fighting Drago Bludvist. I’d love for Djimon Hounsou to return to do that.

[@polskizobot7624]

Yours orchestriations have a beautiful nostalgia

[@SpecklesTeeV]

I see what you did here. You used some elements from Once There Were Dragons to also accompany this and during the ending too. Love it

[@fubsus]

Wow... That is so beautiful! Great work..

[@co7814]

A True Masterpiece!!! HTTYD Forever

[@freezzzyyy_4374]

I love it that you put in a part of furies in love it makes it so much BETTERRRR 1:45

[@LazySillyFran]

Goosebumps every single time *cries*

[@ThatSurvivorPony]

Riding on the back of a dragon with the wind blowing is what being free truly means. If someone wants to prove me wrong, go ahead and try. I’d love to see it.

[@pradyumnvashishtha983]

The music of a generation

[@FutureRailProductions]

"Okay there, bud. We're gonna take this nice and slow. Here we go, here we go, position...3..no 4!"

[@Kitomine]

This is definitely one of my favourites from your orchestra. Absolutely breathtaking.

[@co7814]

Chills all over every single time about 2:11

[@forestfires7495]

I've been waiting for this!!!!

[@joe-mama6451]

Brilliant interpretation

[@eliascastellano8075]

T-Rex, Blue, Fang, Toothless (Night Fury) and Light Fury vs. Indominus Rex, Spinosaurus, Indoraptor, Scorpios Rex, Giganotosaurus and Red Death (Jurassic World/Park and How To Train Your Dragon: King Of The Dinosaurs & Dragons)

[@MinecraftWorld1954]

Chills... Just Chills...

[@arty-es7ss]

this is what i was waiting for

[@lexievans5198]

Out of curiosity, and I know I've definitely asked about more HTTYD songs (because you do them so darn masterfully), have you ever seen the Race Towards The Edge series? if you watch S.3 Ep8, Stryke Out, at about 20:18 (and over the span of the last 3 mins of the ep) there's a version of a HTTYD song which has been altered somewhat and I would love to hear your version of that! its so beautiful and the series doesn't have its own soundtrack!!

[@ct7567CaptRex]

My most favorite track.

[@ch4r_]

ngl been waiting on the release of this video on it's own !! time to blast it on loop

[@miguelsantacienciaKT0B]

My mother asked me why I was crying. I'm not crying, mom. It's just Hiccup.

[@theGIR_entertainment]

Long live the king

[@athease]

This is truly spectacular! I've always looked up to pretty much anyone who can compose like this, never mind take a whole orchestrated piece and make it so much bigger, truly a marvel to behold! I have one question though: Do you record all your pieces as actual orchestra or do you use VST's to create these, and if so which? Thank you for these beautiful pieces of wonder :)

Thank you! Everything is made within my beast of a Laptop. I use a Digital Audio Workstation to compose, specifically FL studio. Do note that FL is just the platform I use and the instruments in my arsenal are by third-party. Hence, they do not come with FL studio and are purchased separately. Below is a list of third-party plugins I use in my compositions 😁 - Metropolis ARK 1 (Orchestral Tools) - Metropolis ARK 2 (Orchestral Tools) - Tom Holkenborg's Brass (Orchestra Tools) - Berlin Symphonic Strings (Orchestral Tools) - Berlin Winds (Orchestral Tools) - Berlins Winds Soloists (Orchestral Tools) - Berlin Strings First Chairs (Orchestral Tools) - Nucleus Lite (Audio Imperia) - BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover (Spitfire Audio) - Damage 2 (Heavyocity) - Berlin Inspire (Orchestral Tools) - Majestic Horn (Orchestral Tools) - Phoenix Orchestra (Orchestral Tools) - Eternal Vocals (Orchestral Tools) - Ample Metal Eclipse (Ample Sound) - Project SAM Orchestra (Project SAM) - SSD Drums (Steven Slate) - Patina (Orchestral Tools) - Sanford Reverb - Generdyn SFX - LABS (Spitfire Audio) - SINE Factory (Orchestral Tools) Hope it helps! 😁

[@athease]

​@ Thank you this is actually amazing! I was hoping that it was done through VST's, but here you gave me a full list XD I shall be definitely taking a look at these for future reference (I'm trying to expand my production capabilities currently!) Again, thank you very much both for the list and for this amazing music!!

@@athease I appreciate it! I wish you the best in your musical endevours! 😁

[@willaverynerdyclarinetist6131]

@ If by some chance you got the chance to have a whole live Orchestra record any of your medleys, would you go through with it? Just curious.

[@ipryan5843]

0:50 the trumpet and tuba are the best

[@perynal]

Bravo 👏

[@pabloskyrenshan6068]

I cried

[@Lorenzo-x1w]

Mais q abertura nostalgica😢

[@Zen_Sensai]

OMG.....I have no words...😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@Albin_Kronblad]

this is just so good 👍

[@humanXV]

This song has to be played at my college graduation rn

[@TSkillessB]

OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM! PLEASE RISE!

[@lexievans5198]

So you're telling me that you turned a HTTYD 1 anthem into one that fits with the 2nd and 3rd film ALL BY ITSELF!! WITHOUT SERIOUSLY CHANGING ANYTHING! OMG (I'm talking about from 1:50)

[@1_Hour_Rewinds]

LONG LIVE HTTYD

[@theamazingworldoffow9360]

Wow I felt so many emotions listening to this, good job!

[@hedgehoggamer2188]

this is the type of music that makes you feel good even down to your soul. amazing work. ever thought of doing sonic the hedgehog remixes?

[@chase4679]

This is such a Masterpiece!... I LOVE IT! Keep at it dude!

[@lightningwingdragon973]

Can we get a Casey Jr orchestration (w/ lyrics)? Pleeeeeease! Apparently noone on the internet has done that one yet. It is a niche that must be filled!

[@BeDatAPickle]

Fantastic as always ❤️

Thanks! I appreciate your support! 😁

[@BeDatAPickle]

@ no problem 👍🏾

[@Leahrooney]

2:11 was epic

[@bbqchicken8681]

OOOHHHH MY GGAAAAAAASSSSHHSHSHSHSHS THIS IS AMAZING i dont usually comment likle this but this is so incrdible i might explode AAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHHHH ITS SO GOOOOOD

[@lexievans5198]

man I can't stop listening to your arrangement.... it is stunning!!! There's an epic song called Dragon, by Built by Titan, and someone made a HTTYD video around it... the song fits perfectly, lyrics especially, to the franchise, and I know it would suit being merged with Forbidden Friendship, or Romantic Flight, or some of the HTTYD songs (just without the retro electronica noises, and only with its beautiful instrumental as is.) added to that, and your ability to make anything sound epic... is that something you might consider?

[@Komakazeම]

If I had to give a small critique I would say that your transitions in the beginning ( like 1:04, 1:12 and 1:32) should be smoother that way when you are doing an impactful transition it has more weight to it but overall an awesome job!

Aye thanks for the notes! ✨

[@chloemoran1271]

top tier

[@netheriteking7256]

this is beautiful!!

[@V_CRAFT9334]

Is was really good song epic...

[@winsoncheung294]

Love this!!

[@katingalls8165]

Thank you! Yes they are available on Spotify and other streaming platforms! Spotify Link: open.spotify.com/album/5HpJYAxIE9iPIf2iEirQEn?si=-CQADwu5TWKIvn6GB0kr_Q

[@ForbesStudiosOnline]

0:34 Take it from me, we’re head phones! It’s even better (how is that possible!)

[@thegayapple6247]

I have a suggestion for a show, arcane, it has pretty neat songs, and is 13+ but dont worry no sadness is in it, best episode is episode 3 btw

[@colewesting1234]

This literally made me cry lmao

[@23forestgump]

I'd love to see you do an epic version of the Gears of war 3 theme Gears keep turning

[@janine9482]

New motorcycle music 😇☝

[@collateralanimation5254]

I noticed that in the separate uploads you skipped over your orchestral race to the edge theme, if possible could you upload it on it's own at some point?

[@dragonbrosgaming4922]

Top misic

[@AnubisAscension]

what chior plug-in do you use? I subscribed this is actually very impressive

[@N_The_MD_Pilot]

Can you do With Love Come's a great Waterfall? :D (You don't have to do it if you don't want to)

I’ll take a look into it in the future! Thanks! 😁✨

[@N_The_MD_Pilot]
