[Zer0MT]

@333slayer666 Hey hey, thanks for the compliment! It's a great song, very catchy and headbang-worthy |m|

Just wish I'd done it more justice with my playing...

The kit you see here is a Mapex Horizon HZB 6 piece in Transparent Midnight Black.

Cheers!

hey awesome cover! just a little constructive criticism tho. i think ur hands, esp the left hand is too stiff. mayb invest time in learning the moeller technique? itll help u loosen up:)

[Zer0MT]

@x3xtacYx Hey, thanks for the comment and your input. And I know you're right; I concentrate on staying loose and relaxed but often tense up without realising it. I can see in the video the left hand needs to relax more. I'm working on technique, speed and body posture a lot lately and still class myself as a noob drummer, so unlimted room for improvement here. And I'll be sure to study the Moeller technique!

Thanks for your advice and for not turning this into a 'flaming' =)

hey is your first tom mounted to your cymbal stand?

[Zer0MT]

@harvey288 Indeed it is, it's a mounted 10" tom. Well spotted =)

Hey man! I like your cover too! Good job! Why don't you try to mic your drums in order to get a better sound?

Keep up the good work!

[Zer0MT]

@lgalicki Thanks dude =)

Yeah I agree recording would be easier and higher quality with drum mics. However I'll go ahead and admit that I have very limited knowledge of close mic'ing and sound mixing. I was quite pleased with the sound though considering it was recorded on just an HD camcorder.

Keep your covers going!
