New video

Hi Everyone.
Just wanted to post my latest video.
I've been creating videos for the latest Trinity College drumming grades. This one is a grade 3 piece called 'Three Line Whip'.
Here is the link.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4ItC2ZSc2E
Its a fairly long process to create one of these videos, and I've set myself the task of completing all grades up to grade 8, so Its going to take me a while!
The playing of the pieces is relatively easy (at this level) as my sight reading is good. But then I have to record it!
This particular piece took at least 10 takes as I would make tiny errors that I wasn't happy with. Then, I had to create a basic piano backing track, add a bass line and other synth sounds. Once the audio recording was finished, I was able to record the video.
Overall, I'm fairly happy with the final result, but I tried to be a bit 'arty' and filmed in sepia. I now think that although the cymbals and drums really shine out, the overall video is too dark. The next one will be much lighter.
Hope this video is of use to drum teachers and students around the world.
