I think it's time for another UNDERTALE tune! This was a tune that I didn't arrange for my album Live at Grillby's, mainly due to me not really having any interest in the song. As the years passed, though, I realized how fun this song would sound as a jazz klezmer/polka/fast swing kind of tune. Learning to play clarinet was the icing on the cake, and finally enabled me to do this arrangement as I envisioned it! I, like countless others, played UNDERTALE around when it first came out, and fell in love with the characters. I think this song captures Papyrus pompous yet silly nature super well - the melody has a lot of ornaments that you'd find in classical music, and each phrase opens with simple arpeggios, but usually with a silly little turnaround. Fun tune! Bonetrousle, in its original state, has a more of a straight-ahead eighth note rock feel, but I decided to double the time feel and give it a faster jazz feel! This was a great opportunity to work on my double time swing chops on drums and bass. In hindsight, I probably didn't have to right hand pluck every single note on the waking bass part during the double time swing sections, but... it's fine haha. My fingers didn't bleed. I also picked up a Zildjian A Swish Knocker for this video (one of my favorite-sounding cymbals for a classic jazz big band sound) and a Zildjian K splash cymbal! I've been doing a ton of research into drum tuning and cymbal selection... it's a lot more fun doing it in real life than fiddling with settings in Superior Drummer, let me tell you. I'm also proud to say that this cover has no MIDI in it at all - everything is a live instrument! This has been a goal of mine for years now, to be technically proficient at staple instruments in a jazz combo to do a no-MIDI multi-instrumental cover. Now that I have these instruments and the mics to record them successfully, I can make it happen! Can't wait to do it with more songs! Lastly, I want to thank Peter Gillette for editing this video! I mentioned in a Community Tab post a few weeks ago that I'll be bringing in some more people onto the team to help me make videos more consistently - this is the first step in that. Pete did a great job editing, and you can expect to see his work on the channel in the future to hopefully bring up the quality of the videos to another level! ♫ "Bonetrousle" from "UNDERTALE" composed by Toby Fox Video Edited by Peter Gillette https://twitter.com/djsteamypete SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter • • • https://twitter.com/insanerainmusic Facebook • • • https://www.facebook.com/Insaneintherainmusic Instagram • • • https://instagram.com/insaneintherainmusic Patreon • • • http://bit.ly/supportinsane Gear • • • https://www.amazon.com/shop/insaneintherainmusic Discord Server • • • https://discord.gg/Ju97889
