Ginnsu Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mDuo13 Posted July 28, 2002 Share Posted July 28, 2002 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.

Tex Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceansAndrew Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eino Keskitalo Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 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.. ---Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 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.

Lint Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinj212 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I liked the groove in this, very funky and the synths give it a unique sound. good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 The electronic keyboard sound really doesn't mesh well with the drums - perhaps the drums should've been brought forward more, because as it is, the keyboard stands quite far out and drowning the drums for a weird sounding contrast. It also doesn't sound like it goes anywhere. Just a few loops and a cutoff ending. Definitely kinda bleh for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Level 99 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 This summer....Eddie Murphy encounters his most difficult enemy as a Beverly Hills Cop yet....Chinatown. The drums are quite impressive despite sounding overly mechanical, could do with a touch more wetness in the verb area and maybe a little less volume because it pushes down the other instruments that really deserve more attention. Interesting arrangement ideas but ultimately this was kinda disappointing. Yes, even at times the drums sound like someone threw the drumkit down the stairs. I'm sure in a few years, all of our current mixes will sound aged...uh oh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
