Celebrate Pokemon's 20th Anniversary With This Great Drum Cover
Andrew Fleming, or AF Drums on YouTube, has uploaded a drum cover of the opening theme from Pokémon Red and Blue for the original Game Boy. And it's pretty awesome.
Taking the game's original audio, Fleming adds his own style of percussion and even a black-and-white polygonal filter to give the video a more authentic look. Notably, the recording quality is top-notch, mixed in well with the game audio.
Fleming has also done covers for games such as Destiny, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Final Fantasy X. Make sure to check out his YouTube page or follow him on Twitter.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
