DESCRIPTION:
Degenerate was my favorite Monuments song to play live. Even after doing it everyday for a month I still had just as much fun playing it as I did when I first learned it. Killer tune!

Shout out to Mike Malyan for writing killer parts. It was a privilege filling in for you bro! You'll all be glad to know that he's just about fully recovered and will be back out with the band on their upcoming tours.

This is also my first drum video with my new kit! Tama Starclassic B/B in Smokey Indigo Burst with Black Hardware. Sizes are as followed...

8x7
10x7
14x12
16x14
20x16
14x6 Starphonic Brass Snare

Huge thanks to Adam 'Nolly' Getgood for the mix. Never ceases to amaze me how much he can bring out the sounds I capture here. Incredibly talented guy... not that you all don't already know that! Drums are all natural, kick too! Used a Beta91 inside & an AKG D112 out (though, I think most of the sound is the 91).

This video was done in one take. I used 5 different cameras running simultaneously. For anyone interested they are as followed...

Canon HF11 - Front left angle
Canon T3i with a 28mm f/1.8 lens - Front right angle
Canon HV30 - Back left angle
Canon HFR21 - Foot Cam
Sony HDR XR500V - Overhead Angle

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

In this video I used an array of Byzance & MB20 Cymbals, aside from the stack which is a Byzance 16" China (bottom) & a 13" Soundcaster Fusion Top Hi-Hat (Top). Drum heads are... Clear Emperors on Toms, Coated Powerstroke 77 on the Snare, & a Clear Powerstroke 3 on the kick.
