DESCRIPTION:
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays everyone! Here's another Conquering Dystopia play-through I did awhile back for 'Prelude To Obliteration', the first track on our album.

The drum kit that I'm using here belongs to my good friend Alex Markidies. I just got my own new Tama kit, and new videos will follow with that soon... right after the holidays! Alex's kit sounds and looks beautiful - it's an early model B/B. Sizes 8", 10", 12", 14", 22". The snare is one of mine, 14" by 6" Starphonic Brass. Might be my favorite snare I've recorded with!

Big thanks also goes to Adam 'Nolly' Getgood who did the mixing for this video. He was able to bring out some characteristics that I'm not used to hearing from recording in my basement. Couldn't be happier, sounds great! Alex & Nolly: Two incredibly sick guys!

For anyone that is hearing Conquering Dystopia for the first time, please check out our debut Self-titled album. The project features Keith Merrow, Jeff Loomis & Alex Webster.

This video was all done in one take. I used 5 different HD Camera's. I've gotten a lot of questions about what kind of Cameras I use, so for anyone who is interested here you go -

Canon HF11 - front left angle
Canon T3i - front right angle, camera belongs to good buddy Anup
Canon HV30 - back right angle
Sony HDR XR500V - back left angle
Canon HFR21 - footview

I proudly endorse Tama Drums, Meinl Cymbals, Remo Drumheads, Vic Firth Drumsticks, 2Box Electronics, Gator Cases, & 1964 In-Ears.

For this video I used an array of - mostly - Byzance & MB20 cymbals, Clear Emperors on toms, Coated Controlled Sound on snare, and Clear PS3 on Kick.
