New strings!

I ordered a set of D'Adario XL drop C strings about a week ago and I got them today. For those of you who aren't guitarists or have no idea what drop C tuning is, well, basically you tune the whole guitar two semitones lower except for the lowest string, which is downtuned 2 semitones further down, reaching a low C. It's pretty common in alternative metal. I think this is the first time I try strings that are actually meant to be played on an alternative tuning. I have to say they sound pretty awesome.

So I couldn't resist and I recorded a little video of myself playing these heavy gauge monsters. Hope you like it! If you're wondering about what I'm  using for the sound, it's a Line 6 POD Studio UX1.
