What if the Super Mario theme got slower with every beat?

For long video meetings in which there’s pressure to have your camera on, I’ve started desk drumming. I messed up a bunch here, but at some point in the meeting, things were 🔥 With more practice, I should get more consistent.

I brought this back from my parents’ basement: The Boss HM-3, dubbed “Hyper Metal.” It disappointed me in the ‘90s, and it disappointed everyone else, who thought it fell far short of its predecessor, the legendary HM-2, called the Metal Zone. It was what made bands sound like Entombed, Entombed included There’s a use for everything, though, so I thought why not. It’s not as bad as I remember. It lacks attack definition so, it’s not better for me than the Microcube’s built-in rectifier simulator. It does create a fibrous sound, though. It’s also sort of muddy and band-limited. It was the style at the time. Think about Pantera, with the extreme gating and compression and a lot shaved off, EQ-wise. Intense, but also kinda fake-sounding. Though who’s to say what sounds fake now?Anyway, here’s the same riffs with the pedal off and on. Apologies for the sloppiness.

The left hand part of the Super Mario World Bonus Room theme is starting to happen!
