You really need to have a powerful system with enough bass to fully appreciate this song's drums.

I read or saw a video where Jan explained he made music for every tv show, new music every week to meet the deadline. It's remarkable doing this for 4 seasons. In addition to Jan Hammer's music, Miami Vice also got license to use popular songs by well known artists like Phil Collins and others. The "In the air tonight" episode is great. Rest of the music, in every episode, was made by Jan Hammer.

One of my top favorite tracks by Jan Hammer

That signature Miami Vice electronic drum beat and snare sound ... nothing else like it. Has enough of the Miami Vice theme song for recognition but still a unique piece.
