Shinobi 'Ninja Strut'

Certainly not a combination of instruments I’d be expecting to hear. The drums (which I’m not fond of) don’t seem to fit with the lead instruments (which intrigue me.) It sounds well arranged to me, but I just can’t say I care for the drums backing that sort of sound. Also, one question, who the heck is The Sheriff?

Very prominent drum beat, and good backing to it, but somehow it doesn't have that something special that makes me want to listen to a song over and over again. It DOES have some interesting instruments, and the more they pick up, the stronger the percussion becomes. Interesting, but not a hallmark of arrangement skills.

Muito bom. Eu me divirto com esta mistura de conceitos japoneses com ritmos modernos. Aliás eu gosto muito dessas coisas. misturar algo antigo com algo recente é bem legal. Infelizmente este material é curto. Mas em compensação é criativo. Boas batidas.Arranjo legal. Melodia divertida e dinâmica. Bom trabalho!





I say portuguese. It is more amused. :)

Here i'm not sure the elements really mesh that well. There seems to be a disconnect between the drums and synths.
It is pretty clear too that the drum samples do a huge disservice to the very nice programming. The whole thing is like a huge, kick ass drum solo, with some some synths on top. Worth a listen or two, however.

Agreeing with OA, drums are sweet, and they just added some stuff on top. Nothing is really hooking me in, which is unfortunate.

The ending is somewhat ubrupt as well, but I've heard far worse.

Like the previous posters, I hear this as a drum solo with a little layering on top.

It's a heck of a drum solo! If only the sounds were better.. everything except maybe the stringed oriental stuff sounds dull. The frentic drumming is good and the embellishment is not at all bad either. It's a bit similar in my opinion to Weather Report's Teen Town. I like it! It just that the sounds really suck. It doesn't sound as tight as it should (the keyboards might have been played live, since they sound, hmm, underquantized, heh). I'd love to hear a remix of this ReMix..

This reminds me of something from one of the levels of Crash Bandicoot Warped.

The drum solo intro is cool and a great way to start, and I like the Asian groove permeating throughout the mix.

Of course, I agree with and echo what everyone else has said about the drums, which are awesome.

Not one of my favorites but still very nice.

The drums are a great hook at the beginning. The synth line feels like a safe melody, and the samples a a good touch. Nothing feels out of place in the song, but the only thing that really stands out is the great drums.

It's a fun piece.

I liked the groove in this, very funky and the synths give it a unique sound. good work!
