Hey everyone! Matt here...

I thought it was about time to record some high-quality video playthroughs of a few Periphery songs. This one in particular is a song off of our newest release, Juggernaut: Alpha, entitled "22 Faces".

Thank you to my friend and fellow Meinl Cymbals artist, Anup Sastry for allowing me to film in his home studio. We had a blast putting this together, and there are more video playthrough's to come!

Drums engineered by Adam "Nolly" Getgood and Anup Sastry
Mixed by Adam "Nolly" Getgood without the use of sample augmentation or replacement.
Filmed and directed by Alex "PressPlay" Wohleber.

Drums used in this play-through are Mapex Saturn IV models, with the exception of the kick drum, which is a Mapex Saturn model.

I'm also using my Mapex signature Wraith snare drum in this video. If you'd like to purchase one for yourself, go to: http://bit.ly/1AO5uDn
