Test Drive [How to Train Your Dragon] (piano cover)

Upon request, here's a performance of the recently-arranged Test Drive, from DreamWork's masterpiece How to Train Your Dragon. The soundtrack was composed by John Powell. This is probably the hardest of all HTTYD arrangements I've done. Unless you count "See You Tomorrow," which is in its final stages of being arranged :)

(Wait for the blooper at the end!)



Your pianist,
Sebastian

and here i am again, 10 years later, still havent forgotten about this.

[LeisaTheGreat]

That ending though!  XD
"Ohh, this is amazing!  The wind in my--"
*Paper falls*
"Cheat sheet...." -__-

[reneec.]

1:47 is my favorite part of the song :)

[starrynight]

I'm gonna learn to play this, see you guys is about 5 years!

[UhOhItsDorian]

I played this for my GCSE music solo! I found it a month and a half before the exam and my (incredible) teacher believed in my ability to learn it in that time. I practiced day and night and got full marks! That was over a year ago now and my fingers have forgotten it but I still love this arrangement and it's still one of my absolute favorite films! Thank you so much for this arrangement, it's wonderful!

[MakoBeauty]

"Wind in my...CHEAT SHEET!" haha love it!

[jameswright]

To this day I have no idea how he does the bass runs at 1:47. Absolutely incredible.

[bookaholic]

This is honestly my favourite thing to listen to ever! I've watched this video about twenty times (I just went back to it on your website and it wasn't there?! Luckily I found it here though!) I've just started learning this piece, and it will take me a while to play it as well as you, you're incredible!! I would just like to say thank you so much for all your transcriptions, they're amazing and I'm so grateful that you release them for free!

[Ddao]

That last
It never gets any less awesome
and how you play omg

[naux_iii]

One of the best piano covers for this song. Hands down

[marrow]

This was 10 years ago. I remember it like it was yesterday...

[chrysopelea]

How do your fingers move that fast?!?!?! I was gaping at this the whole time! You are a piano GENIOUS!

[AstridElphieLovegood]

This is amazing. I can't get over it. Every time I watch these piano covers it makes me wish one could play more than two notes at once on a cello!

[DoubleRD]

that set of notes at 2:02 always makes me shiver, sounds awsome

[shellytan]

I've listened to the soundtrack so many times while studying that I think it's seared into my head, and I can safely say that your adaptations are the most accurate ones I've ever heard.

[TheMemeMachineNowInHD]

You just took my favorite song from that movie, and played it on my favorite instrument. You, good sir, have my deepest admiration.

[omglinachan]

I cannot express how fantastically you did with this piece and how enthralled I am to have come across this video.

[bennettwaisbren]

EXTREMELY beautiful arrangement... You couldn't have possibly done the original any more justice!

[zandermiller]

I'm only in grade 7 and i'm playing it. The ending is incredible. Loved it

[Repoman]

Well, done. Very impressive.

Haha, I like the ending. The intensity of the music being played at the same time was perfect.
