Dick Diamonde (born Dingeman Ariaan Henry van der Sluijs (in Australia Van der Sluys), on 28 December 1947, in Hilversum, Netherlands)) was the bassist with Australian rock group, The Easybeats.

Van Der Sluys emigrated with his family to Australia when he was four years old.^[1]

Widely regarded as Australia's greatest pop group of the mid-1960s, the Easybeats had their beginnings in Sydney's Villawood Migrant Hostel. Guitarist George Young had migrated from Scotland, singer Stevie Wright and drummer Snowy Fleet were Englishmen and the remaining two band members were Dutch—guitarist Johannes van den Berg, who became Harry Vanda, and bass guitarist Dingeman Van Der Sluys, who called himself Dick Diamonde.
