wasn't someone just joking about that snare buzz plug? yeah, I may hafta do that; my drummer is a minimalist, doesn't keep old stuff, unlike me whose house is, as my daughter says, "like living inna guitar store" It actually works. I've used it on a track where I didn't like what the mic I used und...

I ordered an Eastwood Classic 12 B-stock at 40% off. I've been lusting after one for a while. I wanted a different color, but $449 for a $749 guitar was too good of a deal to pass up. Do you play any other electric 12s? I got a Schecter Ultracure xii awhile back on a similar good deal, but not hist...

This is an interesting topic that I rarely think about... I guess mostly because I'm really a live sound mixer, which has different goals and needs sometimes. In particular I tend to think in terms of the arrangement - what needs to be heard? Obviously in a live show it's hard to leave out the stuf...

I always mic the bottom. If I get tracks from somebody with no mic on the bottom I re-amp the snare track with a snare drum sitting on top of a Fender Pro Jr and mic the snares there. I almost always have an 1176 plug on the bottom snare fast attack/slowest release. now I just needa snare ... :twis...

What is it you're doing with the pencil tool, and what's bothering you?

I went with Mike's suggestions. I'm itching to try the Altec clone, and I just like the idea of MorphVerb

Any Idea of how long the sale is going?

Next the Bison 5x14 mapel 10 lug that was a college graduation present from my folks. That was Number 1 for a lot of years I played blues and rock gigs all over with that one. It even went to CBGB with me in '95 I think. Been in the room with this one. I’m not a drummer and usually don’t know what ...

A couple tidbits from my time using molded earplugs: The fit is critical - if the molds aren't made right, they won't seal, and therefore don't work. For them to be useful, they have to go as deep as a foam earplug would. They have a limited lifespan - the material they're made of hardens as it age...

The Mapex stuff should not be slept on, it's affordable and really well made. The owner of the company seems to be a true drum geek. One of the videos where they compare a bunch of snares had the hammered 14x6.5 brass Mapex and it sounded phenomenal. I went back several times to that vid and others...

MMMmmm Snare drums. I've got around a dozen. I'm not sure how I should categorize them. Age, material, depth, frequency of use, number of lugs? So, My very first snare (and I do still have it) is a Slingerland 6.5x14 3 ply mahogany Student model probably from the 50s, 8 lug with the old "stick chopp...

Here's the JB thing: https://www.instagram.com/p/C0cy_0OMHVl ... BiNWFlZA==

That sounds awesome, I love James Brown and of course the drums sound great.

Thanks, man. It was really fun to do!

First off, I'm NOT a songwriter. I like to do things where I do all or most of the parts. I don't have a clue how MIDI works, so I have to actually play each part. It's easier now then in the 4-track days because I can edit easily between takes (Thank you Playlists). A few months ago I did a really ...
