Cavalcadence plays Cadence 18: Speed Demon (4 Zones) (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... as some of you might know, I had quite a bit of trouble getting an 8-minute 3-Zone Speedrun with Cadence (the 3-Zone version of the "Speed Demon" achievement)... though I did manage to accomplish it eventually. ^^; Anyway, I decided to try for a 15-minute 4-Zone Speedrun (the updated version of the "Speed Demon" achievement). As expected, that gave me a lot of trouble as well. =p But after many many tries and failures... I finally managed to accomplish a sub-15... barely! =)
It wasn't the prettiest win... but on the plus side, it did include my fastest victory so far against the NecroDancer. If I calculated right, I actually completed that battle in slightly under a minute! =)
So anyway, here it is... my first ever 4-Zone sub-15 with Cadence... hope you enjoy!
The Zone 1 mini-bosses and boss I encountered during this run were:
- Direbat, Gray Minotaur, Red Dragon, and Death Metal 1.
The Zone 2 mini-bosses and boss I encountered during this run were:
- Red Dragon, Gray Direbat, Green Banshee, and Coral Riff 2.
The Zone 3 mini-bosses and boss I encountered during this run were:
- Nightmare, Green Banshee, Gray Direbat, and King Conga 3.
The Zone 4 mini-bosses and bosses I encountered during this run were:
- Red Dragon, The Mommy, Ogre, Dead Ringer, and The NecroDancer.

4:01 Bombs! Yay, now I can go get that Crown of Thorns! =)
4:15 Crown of Thorns!
4:39 Mini-boss: Red Dragon
4:52 Leprechaun! I actually learned about letting the Leprechaun chase you (so it drops more Gold) from watching The Commander Saxon play. ^^ And maybe I shouldn't have spent the extra time during a Speedrun attempt... but I kind of wanted a little extra Gold, in case I encountered anything useful in later Shops.
5:36 Zone 2, Level 2
5:40 Decided to go straight for the Trapdoor, since I spent entirely too much time on the previous level. =p
5:41 Mini-boss: Gray Direbat
5:41 Zone 2, Level 3
6:28 Potion!
6:46 Mini-boss: Green Banshee
6:46 Zone 2, Boss: Coral Riff 2

10:11 Flawless Victory! I decided to skip the chest, though, since I already had a decent set of equipment, and was pretty far behind where I'd hoped to be, from a Speedrunning perspective. =p
10:15 Zone 4, Level 1
10:55 Explorers Boots! Yep, definitely'll be useful for the Ooze Golems!

13:48 Heh, I accidentally got the Ogre to hit Dead Ringer. =)
14:05 Zone 4, Final Boss: The NecroDancer. I took a bit too much time on the Dead Ringer fight, so I knew I had to rush this fight. Since I had some extra bombs, I thought I'd try bombing the stage (which I'd never tried doing before, but I knew was faster). ^^
15:05 14:53.65!
