I Play the Drums of Liberation! | One Piece

The Drums of Liberation with Epic Real Drums! One Piece Gear 5 Monkey D. Luffy feels his heartbeat #gear5 #onepiece #drumsofliberation

One Piece's Gear 5 debut is followed by the incredibly upbeat Drums of Liberation. The drums symbolize not only Luffy's devil fruit awakening but also Joy Boy's return.

This cover of The Drums of Liberation took me around 60 hours over 4 weeks to make since the premiere of Episode 1070. I listened to music track from the episode and transcribed all the drums parts as best I could and arranged them for my own percussion instruments. I hope you enjoy my video of One Piece "The Drums of Liberation"

Luffy becomes the second Joy Boy, and it's marked by the Drums of Liberation. However, although the Gear 5 debut episode plays the drums for the most part, only Zunesha is able to hear it .When Luffy awakens his devil fruit and transforms into Gear 5, he comments about his heartbeat sounding funny. In fact, there are no drums to speak of. It's only a symbolic term to refer to Luffy's heartbeat, which beats in the same musical rhythm as the drums. Since the sound is unique, Zunesha instantly recognizes it and announces Joy Boy's return.
