Hello everyone, I'm finally back with a new video!

This time I covered 'The Abandoned' from Memphis May Fire Off of their album The Hollow. I really like the drum part in this song. The part right before the last chorus really challenged me because I start the kick pattern with my left foot (which is obviously my weak one) and getting this as clean as in the video really took me a while!

I'm well aware of the fact that I didn't manage to get a perfect sound in this video. I just finished setting up my new computer at home. I'm running Cubase 5 now with a whole bunch of different PlugIns, so I'm not used to all the new stuff - I'm sorry for that and I'll keep on learning ;)

I'm very happy that I was able to film 3 angles at the same time! Thanks to my boyfriend and his 2 new GoPro Hero 2 cams - I love doing covers in one take, now it's possible!

If you got my updates on Facebook you should know by now, that I changed my cymbal setup. I'm now working together with DIRL CYMBALS (Germany)! Check their Facebook and give them your Like!

I'm using the Tama Speed Cobra now - I love it! Like I said in the description, all my PlugIns are new so I#m kinda lost in the audio editin process :D Plus my subwoofer has a shitty position at the moment :D

Great cover! Jake is a great drummer, so covering their music is a challenge. My only critiques are to clean up the fills a tad bit and work on the tom and snare sounds. They're a bit thin. Great cover!
