Thanks! I really wanted to play the bass for this one without a pick, but that vamp at the end of the intro was too tough to get up to tempo. The drums were fun to play, just hanging out in the pocket!
This song is so incredibly overdone, but you managed to make it sound a bit fresh. Kudos. This was like THE song that solidified in me when I was a kid that I would need to make covers of vgm someday.
Thanks! That's always the tough thing on some of these tunes that are so heavily covered, is it just a copy of a copy, is it doing anything? Sometimes I just don't think about everything that's out there and I just decide, I've always wanted to play this one, let me just do it the way I want it to sound in my head! Definitely a foundational vg tune for me, I remember borrowing this game as a kid, being stuck on the 2nd stage for what felt like forever, and finally getting to the 3rd stage and hearing this tune with the heavy blue coloring of the stage, it was like, how crazy is this game?!
I didn't do any sidechaining on this one because I didn't feel like it was supposed to be in your face metal, so the double kick performance is overbearing but hopefully the audio isn't!
Like a lot the bass line at the main riff! Great drumming with lots of details! 🤘

@thesosomusician I got two copies of it for my 6th birthday, hehe. Spent a lot of time on stage three cause it was so tough as a kid.
I beat castlevania 2, 3, and 4 before I beat the original! Tough game!
Fantastic
Thank you!!
Sounds great. Really dig the drumming.
Thanks! I tried to channel the feel of the original NES percussion but beef it up on the full kit, fun jam!!
The double bass at the end sounds mean with headphones
