You did a great job! Nice timing and very good sound! 10 from me! Keep up a good work!

Good take mate! It sounds really good. One small comment, you start everything with an upstroke while in general we use to start a group of 8th or 16th notes with a down stroke to make the first beat accentuation more natural. Check this with Ben that is your master now!
Keep on the good job!

No additional comments on my behalf - regarding what Gabe said, I think it's generally good to be able to master both approaches - I once heard John Petrucci stating that he practices his chops both ways: Starting with a down stroke and then with an up stroke!

Good work man!
