i figure if some people from this forum enter the contest, that knocks out the majority of the contestants im interested in seeing how people mix in the video with their shitty audio from their camera to the backing track hahah

 

[Ben Johnson]

99% will use the on-camera mic, I'm sure.

This might be interesting. Probably gonna give this a shot when i'm getting my Audix DP5a set in a month or so. Song isn't hard or anything and i could use a couple of cymbals And boy do i hate how that Grant McFarland dude (never ever heard of him) is twirling and throwing sticks every 2 measures or something.

 

[kernelxsanders]

man, i love grant. his style is sick. partied with him and the band after giggin with them one night and since he also produces music, i learned a lot from him but i would recommend using a similar cymbal setup, seeing as how its judged upon how accurate it is.

also, if you think his stick tricks are insane, watch adam gray's style



^^also a band that was touring with grant's band, theyre from the same city, as well as august burns red, which explains the very similar music style haha.

This guy is the master of stick flips

 

[nezvers]

This is how it should be played!

 

[DeclanWhite]

i'd do it, but i can't be bothered, plus my cymbal collection right now is awesome haha

(there's more behind there too)
