The Dark Knight (Cello Cover)

[@seventhSabra]

He's not the Cellist we deserve, but he's the Cellist we need.

Sometimes the original isn't good enough. Sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded.

[@janetuss6496]

my favorite part is at 4:33, this is the part that plays at the end of dark knight when gordon is saying his famous "he's the hero Gotham deserves" monologue.

[@GusWMusic]

sounds so professional I almost believe this is the ACTUAL soundtrack!! 😱

[@KayCan.]

It isnt the actual soundtrack?!😨

[@LunarNebulae]

No way this is a cover.

[@andybear6617]

hmm most the sounds in this cover are just impossible to be reproduced on cello unless it is an electric cello. He's doing a lot of vibrato as shown visually, but it isn't heard at all. Also looking closely into 2:57 there is a clear crescendo in volume but the speed and contact point of the bow is simply not changing at all. Also at exactly 3:00 the audio and video isn't synced. Most times what he's showing visually isn't heard at all also. When there's 6 shots of him playing different parts, only 2-4 of the videos are actually barely heard. Many of his covers are legitimate but this one is very very sketchy. Lots of questionable parts and it honestly seems like he's faking many parts visually and using the real track... Just my take on what I saw from the video from a cellist perspective.

[@GusWMusic]

AndyBear Thanks for your insights! I‘m also a cellist, actually. :) I totally get your point. I think I‘d position my opinion in the middle. As I make covers myself, I know that syncing an already recorded audio with my movements on video is very hard. At least this I can forgive him because I do believe he doesn‘t record audio and video at the same time. What I have to agree on is the sound quality. Hans Zimmer doesn‘t use cheap samples and I guess he’d not just give away the info, too, about what samples exactly he uses. Additionally, I own an electric cello and do very many things with it - I don‘t think these sounds here can be produced on it. It must be VSTi for sure. On the other hand - who says that ThatCelloGuy hasn’t invested in some really expensive orchestra sample libraries? If you have the money, you don’t need Hans Zimmer’s info, you just look up the (expensive!) possibilities that are used by the pros and go for it. And then, although in my case it would be rather unlikely to do so, it is possible to reproduce almost the same sound as in the original. I commented on this video a year ago when I had much less experience in VSTi and music production. Now I see things a little clearlier.

[@WIFIUYH]

plot twist: this is the actual soundtrack kkkkkkkk kidding

[@ty_pruitt9818]

You should do the skyrim theme song.

[@imroztowhid1284]

we want skyrim!!

One can tell, you feel the music! Love it!

[@theturbinedoctor]

How on earth is this guy so talented? This is amazing.

[@EktaShah82]

He performed in real life with Hans zimmer! He’s a professional musician. He’s also performed with Carrie Underwood and with several diff symphonies.

[@pitu72ger]

4:38 - you caught me off guard. those chills.....

[@J2415J]

Yes. Incredible counter melodies.

[@SuPeRoVa98]

That last part is the one we don't deserve, but it's the one we need. Wow! Breathtaking!

[@JerohEnterprizes]

You got some serious talent. You do not ever need to feel intimidated. This was amazing. That last part from 4:33 on was so well done I had to hear it three times. I had tears in my eyes it was so good. Your covers are really good and if I could make a suggestion for future ones. I would love to hear you cover The Last Samurai (A Way of Life, Spectres in the Fog, and Red Warrior definitely). Also if you ever heard of the song Death is the Road to Awe by Clint Marshall, a cover of that be cool too. Can't wait to see more! Now to go listen one more time.

[@cjwetterer9579]

Excellent choices!

[@BrainSane237]

Read this comment while listening to this for the first time. Kept waiting for this part, and I now 100% agree with you. That last part was incredible, jesus! Blown away.

Were I going by sound alone, I'd have sworn an entire orchestra had recorded this. Truly exquisite, enormously evident that your whole heart was engaged in these performance. I'm blown away by your talent!

[@dennista42069]

I like how he doesnt copy the tracks to overlay them but play it multiple times that it sounds more natural! Just shows the work he puts in, great!

You are the biggest reason I have become obsessed with learning how to play a cello. I already play many instruments, but the warm, deep and rich emotional sound of the cello is something that goes straight into my soul. Saving up money to afford to buy a cello next year! Huge thumbs up and respect to you! 😊🙏

“Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.” 5:30 - 6:19
