Diamond Spec Op Clips

[Stramm8]

Well, this is my first stab at uploading video clips on youtube or posting them to a forum for that matter so her it goes. I picked up a Diamond Spec Op last week and I think it sounds pretty sweet. All the vidoes I've seen on you tube pretty much suck and are unlistenable so I wanted to try to put up something better. Only problem is I recorded the clips with my blackberry and I'm a little rusty. Oh, I'm really a drummer (check out the vintage Ludwigs in the background) so don't expect too much shredding. In addition, the amp was barely on, I mean baby upstairs sleeping at 10:30pm low Ok, enough excuses take a listen. I'm going to try to really dial it in and post some better video, because I think these amps smoke

The tone on the last one sounds best.

You play better than my drummer and much better than I play drums.

"Nerd Guitarist " - That's new to me.

I wonder if this term may become part of our culture.

Hey Thanks. I just figured out how to record clips to an SD Card on my mini-dv cam corder, so I should be able to put some better sounding stuff up soon. By the way, "Nerd Metal" is a term I coined for a band I was playing with a few years ago here in Atlanta. Everyone in the band looked wierd: I was bald and skinny, the singer/bass player was about 6'5", and the drummer was short and fat. It was a mess, so we decided one day to dress like nerds (busted glasses, pocket protecters...think mid-60's Nasa ground control tech) and it worked!! We got our 15 minutes of fame around town.

Can I take it that is you in your avatar ?

From what you said I think I was in your band around 88
But that was on this coast.

 

[Stramm8]

Yep, that's me. I was in that band between 2000 - 2002. Based on your avatar, you would have fit right in!
