Hi All,
I'm pretty new to this forum so I figured I'd introduce myself with a video. I realize posting this here is throwing myself to the wolves but, in a way, I'm looking for any and all comments, criticisms, and advice.
I got this idea from a Mike Portnoy drum clinic video (which I left at my parents' home in Massachusetts, I'm now in Texas). I know he included a lot of the same bands in his list but I've added some newer songs in here and forgot some of those that he included. I couldn't find any similar videos on youtube so I decided to post it.

I'd love to hear your comments and criticisms about it. It's not perfect in any sense (obvious gaffs in Good Times Bad Times, 6:00 and Honor Thy Father) but overall I'm satisfied with it... for now. Tuning needs some major help- I tried going with the overly muffled approach and it just does not work for me. It sounds decent to my ears from behind the kit but this was the first time I heard it on a recording and it WILL be changed tomorrow.
I appreciate all feedback- positive, negative, and indifferent.
