"TIGER SHOT" // ALEM BEATBOX
I put all my energy into this video. Pushing my limits.. I called the video "Tiger shot " which refers to the character Kojiro Hyuga in Captain Tsubasa. Tiger shot is the name of his most powerful pulls. Since I was little I love this manga and this character is a great inspiration and motivation. Go to see if you don't know him.. He has a great personality..Follow me on : ►INSTAGRAM : https://www.instagram.com/alem_new_sc... ►FACEBOOK : https://www.facebook.com/AlemNewSchoo... ►TWITTER : https://twitter.com/alemnewschool

This is my first studio song I recorded using them. Double Stroke technique from 2:34 -3:14. Recorded at "Boho" Studio's Salt Lake City,Utah by Bruce Kirby. Jared Johnson-Guitars,Bass.
