Awesome Steel Drums

Multi-instrumentalist Joe Porter is back with another medley of music performed on various percussion instruments. This time, he played rock tunes from bands like Metallica, AC/DC, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Iron Maiden. It’s also likely to be the only time you’ll hear Sweet Child of Mine played on a steel pan drum.

It’s Japan meets Jamaica in this clip from Steeldrumbands, who love to play cover versions of video game music on steel drums and bongos. In fact, they think Nintendo would have been better off using their tropical versions instead of the original instrumentation in some cases. The Mii Channel theme is perfect this way.
