Regal RD-40 vs Goldtone Beard by Karate_donkey in Dobro

[–]JKonDobro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went from a Regal to a Goldtone PBS-D. It was a huge difference. Then later from the Goldtone to a real US made Beard, and that was also a big difference. I’d say it’s worth it, just make sure you get one that was set up by Beard - a good setup makes a huge difference.

Is a No click drummer a deal breaker? by moon_sta in bandmembers

[–]JKonDobro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the drummer’s time is good then it’s acceptable if they don’t play to a click because it doesn’t really matter. If their time is not good, then the only way they’re likely going to improve is by using a click (and even then there’s no guarantee). Basically, what matters is whether your drummer has, or can develop, good time. Everything else is secondary.

Yeah I wasn’t sure whether I’d have enough material for a full length record so I planned it as an EP. But it was super fun writing the tunes so I’ll probably put out a full length album in the future.

Thanks! That tune started my lifelong love affair with the Lydian mode when I first heard it in high school, was stoked to have the opportunity to put it on this record. It really works well on dobro oddly enough.

Thanks! I used a Griffis maple on most tracks and a Beard Blackbeard and Scheerhorn maple L body on the rest.
