Cavalcadence plays Cadence 17: Rifle! (All Zones Mode)
For anybody who's interested in custom Cadences (or other characters), the official NecroDancer FAQ has some info about creating custom characters, and even has a link to the pinned thread on the official forums, where people have posted some of their custom creations:

So... while (unsuccessfully) working on trying to get a sub-15 speedrun, I came across a seed (for v1.05) that gave me a Rifle on 1-1. Since I haven't seen the Rifle that often, I decided to stick with it through the entire run... and actually did pretty well! Well... not from a speedrunning perspective, but I did make it to the Final Boss! =)
Anyway, the Rifle seemed like a pretty useful weapon for Cadence (especially if you get Boots or Armor that negates the knockback effect, but even if you don't), so I wrote down the Seed Number... and used Seeded All Zones Mode to practice with it a bit more. And while the Rifle is still far from my best weapon... I am a lot more comfortable with it now than when I started practicing. =)
So anyway, here's what's probably my best Rifle run so far. I did make some mistakes, of course (especially in Zone 4), but overall, I'm pretty happy with this run. =)
The Zone 1 mini-bosses and boss I encountered during this run were:
- Direbat, Red Dragon, Gray Minotaur, and Death Metal 1.
The Zone 2 mini-bosses and boss I encountered during this run were:
- Red Dragon, Green Banshee, Gray Minotaur, and Coral Riff 2.
The Zone 3 mini-bosses and boss I encountered during this run were:
- Banshee, Blood Nightmare, Gray Minotaur, and King Conga 3.
The Zone 4 mini-bosses and bosses I encountered during this run were:
- The Mommy, Blood Nightmare, Green Banshee, Dead Ringer, and The NecroDancer.

13:19 Reward for Flawless Victory: Ring of Luck (decided to stick with the Ring of Gold, since I already had the Charm of Luck, and even if the effects do stack (I don't know if they do), by this point I basically already had all the items I needed, so...)

16:35 Probably shouldn't have used the Heal Spell here, since the Crown of Thorns was about to heal me anyway... but unfortunately, I didn't notice in time. Ah well. =)
16:59 Mini-boss: Green Banshee
17:14 Zone 4, Boss: Dead Ringer
18:27 Flawless Victory! I actually didn't realize it was a Flawless Victory until I was going into the stairs, and noticed the Reward treasure chests... which is why I didn't open any of the chests. =p
18:30 Zone 4, Final Boss: The NecroDancer.
20:40 Ouch. =( Should've gone left after the second hit against the Blood Nightmare, instead of to the right. If you watch closely, you'll see me hesitate for a tiny moment... before making the wrong decision. =)
20:49 Victory!
