Watch in HD!!! This is a play through for one of my original songs called 'Villain'. This is off of my latest EP titled 'Bloom', which is available on my Bandcamp page (link below) for free.

This song is the 'uglier' one on the EP. I wanted to write a pretty aggressive song that had a bit more grit to it than the others. Some of the parts in this song are really challenging for me, and this was definitely one of the harder songs I've done a video for in a while. There are moments of fast bursts of non sense, really odd placements, etc... Anyways, its one of my favorite 'heavier' songs I've written. So I decided to do a video for it!

Here's what Im using in this video:

Tama Starclassic Birch Bubinga in Lacquered White Oyster

10" x 8" Rack Tom
14" x 14" Floor Tom (left)
16" x 14" Floor Tom (right)
