Contra: Nintendo Soundtrack Remix

I recorded my favorite part of the soundtrack from one of the best video games ever made. I added synthesized strings, bass, piano, and of course: live drums.

Credit is due to Hidenori Maezawa, who composed the original soundtrack for the game Contra. It was game soundtracks like this that inspired me to become a musician. More video game remixes are on the way. Requests will be considered.

Additional Info:
Key = F#m
Meter = 3/4
Tempo = 250 bpm

@ned2one Well i cant just change my pedal technique. Heel toe is the only way i can get up to speeds like 250 bpm in this video. Ive worked hard on that and i cant just change techniques. The only real solution if i am going to have 2 hats is to have 2 remotes which may be placed independently of the pedal placement. I know that strain is bad for the body, thats exactly why my pedals are far away. thats the most relaxed position. hands can move easily around the drums so they handle the offset

[ned2one]

@Dreammotive I just realised you said "I need 2 remote hi-hats" I thought it said "you have 2 remote hi-hats" which then means my suggestion on moving your hi-hat to other side of your kit won't work... so yeah I'd just not use 2 hi-hats as its not that necessary ^_^

[ned2one]

@Dreammotive Might I suggest you put one hi-hat somewhere on the otherside of your kit, and maybe try and work out how you can do Heel-Toe technique without moving your pedals to far away. The other thing I'd suggest is maybe only have one hi-hat and don't use heel-toe technique, cuz it all boils down to comfortability. Otherwise it'll cause long term damage to your body :)
