Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Gumball Machine Bonus Stage Theme sight-read by Tom Brier

YouTube's "SKGScintill" created a ragtime piano arrangement of this tune and sent it to me as a MIDI file. I created a piano score and added a few little touches of my own to the arrangement.

You can download the single-page score Tom is reading here:

Of course, Tom is adding a whole bunch off the top of his head, and plays many more repeats to do so!

This was recorded late at night in mid-September 2010.

Michael jackson as been ocnfirmed to have composed Sonic 3's BSO, but not this theme. This one is from Jun Senoue

[Keeper1st]

@ashthedragon Oops. I had forgotten to remove the note in the video description. I long ago updated the sheet music with Senoue's name. I hadn't heard that Jackson was confirmed though. Neat.

Could you please make a Midi file to download in the description

[Keeper1st]

@MrBobz1998 If you copy the URL in the description and replace "gumballsonic3.pdf" with "gumballsonic.mid" (remove the 3 and change pdf to mid) you'll find a MIDI file of the arrangement (as it appears on the paper -- not as Tom is embellishing it).

Is that a long in the background? O.o

[Keeper1st]

@zZLordGirZz I don't understand the question. If you mean a member of the Long family, no, though I think Stan was there earlier that night. Sitting in the stool is ragtime pianist Will Perkins ("wilscool" on YouTube). The other person video recording is Carl Matts ("verybigrifle" on YouTube).

PBat! You inspired me to watch other's piano videos lol

[Certamaniac]

The rare Youtube video so undeniably impressive that with almost 3000 views, not one person has disliked it. I thought this was only a thing of myth...
