Watch previously unreleased drum-cam footage of late MEGADETH drummer Nick Menza playing his own, stripped-down version of the MEGADETH classic "Reckoning Day"

The HD video, shot in a two-camera-angle mix, was filmed in March 2014 at Uberbeatz Studios in Seattle, Washington. The enhanced audio was mixed by Richard Easterling / KRM Studios and is believed to be some of the final studio drum recordings of Menza before he passed away more than two years later.

The footage was supposed to be used for the late drummer's first-ever instructional DVD, "Intense Mega Drumming", that was to feature 10 re-recorded classic MEGADETH drum tracks with tons of tips and tricks from Menza's arsenal to help teach anybody out there become a better player. The DVD, which was produced and directed by Kari Pearson and Menza's manager, Robert Bolger, has since been shelved.

The unreleased video footage from the session will be a featured highlight in the upcoming official Nick Menza documentary film "This Was My Life - The Story of Nick Menza" The film is currently in the post-production phase.

Executive producer, director and editor Holly Mollohan from Screaming Butterfly Entertainment is deep into editing all the awesome interviews she captured, putting all the topics together.

The Menza family: "We are excited for the fans to see the life Nick lived before, during and after MEGADETH. It was quite the journey. Stay tuned for an epic documentary. As Nick would say, 'It's gonna be RAD! "This Was My Life: The Story Of Nick Menza" will arrive In 2023.
