It's been awhile since I've uploaded anything on the "Tech / Death Metal" end of the spectrum, so I figured why not post an old Conquering Dystopia tune ?! ;) This is one of my favorite songs on the Conquering album, & I always wanted to do a video for it. So here it is - "Inexhaustible Savagery".
Shoutout to my friend Steve, owner of this BEAUTIFUL Tama Starclassic Maple drum kit. He let me borrow it for a few days so I could use something different to track some videos with - it had been awhile since I tracked a Maple kit at home, & let me tell you, it RULED ! Gonna have to get another Maple kit of my own soon... ;) Sizes are as followed (diameter by depth) -

This is also my first drum video where I am using TRICK Pro1-V Bigfoot pedals! I've been playing the Pro1-V's for the last 6 months or so & absolutely love them.
Mixing was done by Adam "Nolly" Getgood, & as always, he was able to get the most out of my home studio setup & make it sound exceptional. Drums are 100% Natural (kick too!), just processing w/ EQ / Compression. For mixing / mastering inquires, contact Nolly here -

Also got some new camera's & gear since my last video(s), stoked to re-introduce the Overhead view w/ my new GoPro. List of all the camera's below -
Overhead View - GoPro Hero5 Black
Front Left View - Canon T3i #1
Front Right View - Canon T3i #2
Back Left View - Canon Rebel T6 (shoutout / thanks to my GF for letting me borrow!)
Back Right View - Sony HDR XR500V
Footcam - Canon HF11
I tracked the song several times, and ended up comp'ing together two takes. The first half of the song is one take, & the second half is from another (the camera's also switch takes to match, not that you'll notice). I'm really not a fan of guys using one camera & playing through a song multiple times to get multiple angles; the miming never looks right to me (& it's wicked lame). So I am fortunate to have accumulated so many camera's over the years.
I proudly endorse Tama Drums, Meinl Cymbals, Remo Drumheads, Vic Firth Drumsticks, Trick Pedals, Vratim Drumshoes, Gator Cases, 64 In-Ears, Tunerfish Luglocks, & Reflexx Practice Pads.

As always everyone, thanks for watching. & stay tuned - I tracked several other videos when I did this one (one of which features some VERY LARGE rack toms), so there will be more to come in the near future ;) !
