As a kid, I loved playing racing games at the arcade (or in restaurants that had them) more than any other type of game, and one I definitely remember playing was Cruis'n USA, developed in 1994 by Midway. (I also played its sequel, Cruis'n World, quite a lot.) What I've attempted to arrange here is my favorite song from that game, "Deadwood Ride." (The game allows you to change the music by playing the music button, but I usually just let the default track play.) Both USA and World were later ported to the Nintendo 64.
NOTE: the original arcade track has various tempo changes, while the N64 version of the song does not. I used the N64 version to help me do my arrangement, so there are no tempo changes here.
To play it my way, you need:
Sax section (alto, tenor, baritone)
Trombone
Timpani
Glockenspiel
Drum set
Concert percussion (snare drum, bass drum, cymbals)
Auxiliary percussion (timbales, vibra slap)
Electric guitar
Bass guitar
This arrangement © me and me alone
Original music composed by Vince Pontarelli; the N64 version was arranged originally by Orpheus Hanley.
