Do you know any epic drum music?

[Gray-Philosophy]

Hello Escapists!

lately I've been trying to find some good war drum type music to really set the mood for some epic battle kind of scenario. While there are indeed several videos with drum music on youtube, I've only managed to amass a grand total of 5 videos with the specific type of drum music that I'm looking for.

So I ask, do any of you know of some epic battledrum sounding music? Here are a few links for reference to what I'm after.

This is the only one I could think of. Pretty decent movie, all things considered.

Ninja Gaiden has exactly what you are looking for, especially the first one.

Zack Hemsey stuff might be what you are after. The non instrumental version where he raps over the top is awesome agressive philosophy angry sage type shit too. But maybe you dont want that because you want pure wardrums.

Spoiler: Zack Hemsey instrumental

Found that stuff because somebody linked it on an escapist thread actually...

Spoiler: non instrumental

After posting the obvious Japanese fighting music, I thought about where I had heard the best battle drums. It then struck me what it was: Vangelis, of course it was him.
I just had to post this as well: The drums of Gaugamela, from "Alexander".

I just want to bury the civilized world under the hobnails of my Macedonian goatherders. Man I feel the urge to play some Hegemony now.

A random list of some songs that I like that are instrumental, for background music, that have drums out the ass (in my opinion).

City of the Fallen does a lot of "trailer music", so it's frequently very epic and drummy. Usually short songs though, so not sure if it will help you.

This song from House of Flying Daggers gives me chills. So much drum! In fact, you might try and just do searches for Tycho Drum performances, if you are looking for drum heavy stuff without dialogue for background purposes.

Also, do what I did for my recent Star Wars tabletop game I ran. Just do a youtube search for "epic drum music" or "creepy ritual drum music", and you would be surprised at the hits you can get. Usually long tracks too, that you can just let run and forget about for like an hour or more.

This may be too vocal, but;

Well, maybe:

Spoiler: Morbid Angel: Hymnos Rituales de Guerra

This might fit, although it doesn't feel as battle-y

Spoiler: more Morbid Angel: Ascent Through the Spheres
