    I wish the audio production was better. I can't hear the kick drum to save my life and the cymbals are too loud in comparison. This is metal. I should be able to hear the double bass very easily. Also, there are definitely ways to keep non-drummers interested in the video other than making is seem like the viewer is on a rocking ship at sea. A good reference video would be one of Jeremy Tremp's productions on Luke Holland's KZread channel.
