Cavalcadence plays Cadence 40: Blunderbuss + Ring of Courage! (Seeded 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 taking a break from Monk and Aria runs, I actually played a Cadence run where I found both a Blunderbuss (1-1) and a Ring of Courage (1-2)! =) I didn't do too well during that run... but given that Rifle + Ring of Courage (Cadence 25) was a lot of fun, I thought Blunderbuss + Ring of Courage might be interesting to come back to... so I made sure to write down the seed. ^^
When I took a closer look at the seed, I noticed that not only was there a Blunderbuss and a Ring of Courage... but there was also a Strength Charm, Heavy Plate, and even Lead Boots (if you couldn't afford the Heavy Plate)! In other words, instead of a 2-damage weapon that pushes you back, you could actually turn the Blunderbuss into a 4-damage weapon that pushes you forward! ^^;;
Anyway, here's my first ever Blunderbuss + Ring of Courage win! I had a lot of fun playing through this... hope you enjoy!
The mini-bosses and bosses I encountered during this run were:
Zone 1: Green Dragon, Gray Direbat, Red Dragon, & Deep Blues 1.
Zone 2: Nightmare, Gray Direbat, Gray Minotaur, & Death Metal 2.
Zone 3: Nightmare, Green Banshee, Gray Minotaur, & Coral Riff 3.
Zone 4: Blood Nightmare, Ogre, Blood Nightmare, Dead Ringer, & The NecroDancer.
