Once again, time has flown by as LT² has been continuing the quest to make awesome videos.
Most recently, LT² got the chance to make some fresh "Ghost Footage" at the world-famous Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
Yes, this is me as both cameraman, rider, and editor ;)
Next up, LT² got personally invited by drummer Chad Smith to get an all-access pass to a Red Hot Chili Pepper show in San Diego, California.
LT² filmed the band during soundcheck, did a backstage interview with Chad, and also filmed from the stage during the concert for drumchannel.com
Here's a taste of the action:
Finally, while continuing to work as Digital Media Manager for "The Drummer's Choice" (and arguably the finest drums in the world) DW Drums a.k.a Drum Workshop, Inc.
LT² put together a series of videos to launch the company's anticipated new drum shell, the Collector's Series Maple/Mahogany Drums.
The Long Beach International Motorcycle Show is just around the corner, and LT² is working with California's leading track day organization motoyard.com to show track day virgins what it's all about. Look for that video posted here soon!

It's been a minute, but just checking in. Suffice to say that LT² has been hard at work with up-and-comming bands, the luxury item distributor GarrisonWorldLux.com,
and the world's finest drum manufacturer dwdrums.com. Particularly with DW Drums, my "9-5+ Day Job", LT² has been "instumental" in starting from scratch their Digital Media Department;
developing facebook.com/dwdrums (40,000 fans), youtube.com/dwdrums (4 million video views), and twitter.com/dwdrums (16,000 followers).
Over the past few years of LT²'s involvement, DW Drums has achieved a global audience of 50,000 people, an
In fact, just last weekend, just minutes before heading off to a motoyard.com track day at Willow Springs, LT² shot and posted this video of future legendary drummers Tony Royster Jr. and David Elitch.
In just 3 days, the video has 5,000 views and 70 comments. It's with extreme pleasure that we work with such talent and premium gear.
Speaking of premium gear, LT² has been shooting a bunch of video at both dwdrums.com and motoyard.com. Expect to see some fun new videos made with them very soon ;)

...A New Logo Marks a New Era for LT²
After "laying low" on the freelance front for a few months, business has picked back up. I am happy to say that a lot of wheels are in motion, and by wheels, I mean things that move ;)
There's not much I can say at the moment, but didn't want to leave the blog negelected.
LT² just won a "Drummie" for Manufacturer Website from Drum! Magazine
for my recent website work with DW Drums
( http://www.drummagazine.com/drummies/post/awards-2011 ).
This was quite an honor, and I am very thankful to all the people who voted. I pour a lot of my life into DW's websites, videos, and social media, and it means a great deal to me to have it so appreciated.
In the works are a website for a sporting goods store, spa, and possibly one of the best drummers in the world,
and the weather is getting warmer whch means more videos for Motoyard Trackdays ( http://www.motoyard.com ).
We'll keep you posted when it's all finished.
In the meantime, a new band is pumping fresh blood into the world of progressive music...no, I'm not plugging the Venturian Space Neighbors...
but rather the dualing 8-string gutarists+drummer trio named Animals As Leaders. They just played a sold out show in Hollywood, CA at the Key Club and LT² was there to capture the light:

What a way to ring in the new year...
Last Friday 1/28, a co-worker of mine @ DW Drums informed me over some Marshall's Bodacious BBQ
That the Foo Fighters and Mariachi El Bronx
were going to play a secret show for less than 300 lucky people at Santa Barbara's intimate club, Velvet Jones.
Supposedly the place to buy the tickets would be revealed via the band's twitter account a couple hours before showtime.
It seemed way too good to be true, and I had made other plans with a handful of people, but this is one of those unreal opportunities/dreams that you just have to explore.
At around 3pm, Dave started texting pictures on @foofighters twitter of the commute to Santa Barbara. It was on.
Suffice to say, me and 3 of my favorite people in the world were able to get in line and see the show of a lifetime. I mean...forget the fact that I grew up on this band and Nirvana.
Forget the fact that Dave Grohl is basically my musical idol and has played on both QOTSA Songs For the Deaf and has a side project with Zeppelin bassist JPJ.
What I got hung up on the most, was that just a few weeks prior, I was watching a DVD of the Foos playing Wembley Stadium to 86,000 people who probably paid more than $40 a ticket.
I just got a wristband to see Dave and his band of rock gods from an arms length away at a tiny club. Not only that, but they would kick off the night by playing their new, unreleased album from soup to nuts.
The opening band was epic as well, El Bronx Mariachi will blow everyone away in a very unexpected way. As far as the new Foo tunes, they are savage and confirm that this album will take no prisoners.
The second half of the Foo's 2+ hour set was all the "moldy oldies" as Dave called them. Unbelieveable. I'm without words. Sooo greatful to stumble on this opportunity.
The lease I could do is share a few pixels with you:
