Sorry, the name of the song is Hotrod, not hotwheels... :)

No,no, my point was that you didn't need any extra hardware to make the C64 produce good drums and there are many famous examples. Most people refer to Rob Hubbard's "Skate or Die" intro, but there are much better ones (often overlooked), Jeroen Tel's "Digi-Piece for teleco" and his Hotwheels theme, other famous examples are StormLord. You're forcing me to upload these songs to my youtube account! Grrrrr!!!

Cirtainly the SID chip in the Comodore 64 is well known for what it could do back then. Were there any hardware synth add ons for the Comodore 64 that could enhance the sound and make it more realistic? I know that a lot of games took advantage of the SID chip, and the sound capabilities of the Comodore 64 were far above any IBM PC without a sound card.

The were many digital players on the C64 that did not require any $50 hardware attachments. Look up C64 Demo Sabrina (digitized sound) and some Eurodemos...

Great vid, thanks! The SID still sounds awesome (when used properly).2:24 = More cowbell.And agreed, it only just hit me how outdated MIDI really is.
