BothSuper Mario Bros. 2andSuper Mario Bros. 3had incredible percussion and drum tracks for 8-bit NES games. If you’re anything like me, I’m sure you were surprised and impressed when you heard the hand percussion in SMB2 or the timpani work in SMB3. Prepare to be even more impressed when you hear the score ofSuper Mario Bros. 2set ablaze with a full trap set.
DrummerAndrea Vadruccitears up Koji Kondo’s score with some insane drum action in the above video. I’ve heard many a drum track to many a videogame tune, but this video still wows me.
