Watch in HD!!! This is a video of me playing a song called 'The Ultimatum' by Jeff Loomis. It's off of an album titled 'Plains of Oblivion'. I really enjoy playing this song live with Jeff, so I decided to do a video play-through for it! Its also one of my favorite tunes off of the album! I plan on doing a few more videos for a couple of tunes off of 'Plains of Oblivion'. This will be the last video I post for some time though seeing that I will be on tour with Jeff for about a month in Europe!

I am using a ride cymbal in this video! Its a 20" Byzance Dark Ride!

I did blend in a kick sample of my own kick drum in this video!

I was receiving some complaints regarding my overheads not being loud enough on my first upload of this video. So I jacked that overhead fader UP, and re-bounced this video for the tube!!!

Enjoy!
