I have recently been listening to a lot of combat tracks from the Heroes of Might and Magic games. The drums and percussion in them are fantastic. I was wondering if anyone knew of other combat/battle style music with a lot of drums with similar mood from other games. I’ve listened around a lot but would like to hear more of this unique battle sound.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hmm...I'll have to think a bit about that. Age of Mythology and Pac-Man World 2 are two excellent soundtracks I can think of that are very percussion-heavy/percussion-focused, but I don't think either one of those would fit the battle sound you're talking about. I'll have to listen to some HoMaM stuff, though; perhaps they would.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Thanks Drakken. What is HoMaM?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Heroes of Might and Magic. I meant that I have to listen to Heroes of Might and Magic music so that I know better what you're looking for -- Age of Mythology and Pac-Man World 2 (AoM more likely) might have similar-sounding songs.

Yoshitaka Hirota (Shadow Hearts series) uses a lot of percussion in his battle themes.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Thank you very much! I'll try to check some of these out.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yoko Shimomura did a FANTASTIC job with Legend of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 4), and there's three tracks that really involve heavy drums/guitars/ROCK!! "Pain in the Universe", "The Darkness Nova", and "Irwin on Reflection". Have fun!!!

FELIPE NO

Saga Frontier - Battle 5 has an awesome drum track.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

There are a lot of great "Vagrant Story" boss tracks that have heavy percussion in them.

How ya doing, buddy?

Particulary "Golem".

But yeah, one of the most percussive battle themese I've heard would be the standard battle theme from Legend of Legaia.

Try the battle themes from Magna Carta. Not necessarily heavy with the percussion, but very rhythmic and very catchy.
