Congrats to the winners and thanks for your effort.

Do you have any advice as to what could bring me to a 8.5+ level? Aside from more energy/flare (difficult to project into an electronic drum kit), and entertaining video/audio editing (which I personally don't see as realism for an open mic performance), I'm lost as to what else I can do. My last entry was the Super Mario Drum Cover. Feel free to tear it apart.

I don't think there's any significant gap in talent level, and don't need to win anything, but I don't see how I keep missing honorable mention. I want be more successful here and hope your feedback can help others as well. I've seen some frequent past instrumental contributors disappear and maybe a little dialogue could stop that if people are getting discouraged. Thank you.
