Mike Malyan - "Leviathan" by Monuments - Drum Playthrough

This video was recorded in 1 take.
This week I had lots going on, so I made do with a take with a few fill-blunders. There are 2 fills that are edited in the whole track, everything else is natural.
There are some snare and room samples for added thiccness. Natural tones take the priority in this mix though. Huge thanks to Justin Woodward for such a sick mix, and as always thanks to Joey Aitchison for the Videos. Dream team!

This video was made from 1 single take. I did another take before this one, but I made many mistakes.
All of my other videos over the years feature extensive take-swapping and editing (time correction). I have decided that I'd rather post more honest covers, and encourage my listeners and viewers to hear what is actually being played.

The backing track to this video is made from the original stems that were made at the time of making the album.
