AJ Viana - Cognitive - Abhorrence

I recently picked up a set of Czarcie Kopyto bass drum pedals and filmed a ton of playthroughs to show them off. The pedals are still blowing my mind with how fast, yet powerful they are, and they're built incredibly well. Indestructible even.

Abhorrence was actually the first song I wrote for Cognitive and they loved it enough to put it on the record and even have it be the title track which is kinda wild.
