Hack description
If you've always had a special vendetta against Seiken Densetsu 3/Trials of Mana's distinctive drum sounds, then here is a hack that does absolutely nothing but replace four of them.
- The snare has been completely replaced with an edited version of the "Ouch Snare" sample from the Roland R-8, the source of the snare used in Secret of Mana.
- The kick has been replaced with FL Studio's "Grv Kick 28", with some of the original kick mixed in, since the same sample is used for different (non-kick) purposes in some songs.
- Similarly, the snare's reverb sample in "Left-Handed Wolf" has been changed to match the new snare sample, but some of the original sample is still mixed in since the same sample is used for different purposes in other songs.
- The tambourine sample has been replaced with a slightly treble boosted version of itself to better compliment the much brighter sounding snare.
- Nothing else in the game has been changed.
Unfortunately these changes are slightly detrimental to some songs, with "The Sacrifice, Part Two" probably sounding most noticeably worse. The readme contains a full list of songs that are improved or worsened by these changes.
Included are patches for the original Japanese ROM and for the officially translated English ROM.
This patch has not been tested with any other hacks, so stack at your own risk.

For those who grew up calling this game Secret of Mana 2, a SoM reminiscent drum set is a suitable nod to the "first" game.
Personally I find the original drum set funny, but that snare may be somewhat tiring at times, so those who want to play the game with a more SoM styled drum set, they can now.
