Drums are definitely the highlight of this ReMix from Joe Redifer and The Sheriff - that's not to say the other elements are at all lackluster, but The Sheriff's percussive contribution is very conspicuous, with a lot of very meticulous programming evident even in the first seconds of the track. This is a theme that was used during the bonus stage of the Sega Master System version of Shinobi (my favorite version) but as actual stage music in the arcade iteration. Redifer's timbres are rather subdued, as befits the piece - there are some sounds that have a koto-like attack, but mostly it's electronic textures, with the lovely exception of the little xylophone run that chimes in occassionally. Good stuff - nice piece to choose, and well-executed, plus a productive collaboration.

It's a fun piece.

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.

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..

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

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.

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?
