VGdrum Request VII: Pokémon Gold/Silver “Battle! Trainer (Johto)”

Pokémon! A series I adored as a 4th grader, but then I sort of shunned away from it for a long time before fully appreciating it again in college. While Pokémon Red, Blue & Yellow remain my favorites, playing through some of Heart Gold made me realize that I missed out on the great sequel to those games! Pokémon Gold/Silver’s battle music is just plain epic.

This was a tough song to drum to, but it was also highly enjoyable. I’m all over the place on this one, and it’s more interpretive given that there’s no real drum beat in the original GBC composition. Despite a few minor timing issues I’m really proud of this one. Now who wants to redo this one with me in a heavy metal/prog setting?

The music was requested by Erin M. B.
