Drum Cover Video - Need feedback!

[heshian46]

Hey gentlemen,
I recently recorded a drum cover video for a friend of mine - its a metal drum cover of a country song, Jason Aldeans "She's Country". I was hoping to get some feedback from you guys regarding both the audio and the video. This is my first time doing this - don't go easy on me, I'd like to improve on my next one. Although even now I already have a few things I would've done differently.

Here's some details.

Mic setup:
Kick - Beta 52a
Snare Top - SM57
Snare Bot - Samson Q-Snare
Tom 1 & 2 - SM57's
Floor Tom - SM58 w/ grill removed
OH's - Samson C01's
Ride - MXL 991
No samples were used (this is actually a first for me).

Video setup:
Cam 1 Front Left - Canon T3i w/ 18-55mm (set at 18mm and aperature at f/3.5)
Cam 2 Overhead - Go Pro Hero3 Black edition
Cam 2 Foot Cam - Go Pro Hero

Also, I had 3 lights setup. They are photography 6500K CFL's in octoganal softboxes w/out the diffusor attached. One was front right, another rear left (next to Cam 2) and another you can see on the floor behind the drummer.

Great job dude! Digging the hybrid Country/Metal style!

Thanks, yea it was a fun little session.

Here is a second revision where the drummer requested the foot cam clips to be displayed as PIP. Also, i'll be adding a quick flash of my studio logo right in the beginning so I put a placeholder in for that.
