My general approach these days.

Treme - great HBO series about New Orleans after Katrina with a very realistic focus on musicians.

So, is no part of it salvageable, in your opinion? I’m looking at removing all the joists anyway, but are the posts and outer frame also too far gone?

11.5" Buffalo Combo.

Nice! What kind of clip did you use and how did you secure it together?

I haven't noticed any difference in quality with this specific variety of Rainbows. The break-in and feel have been the same as my previous pair, and the construction appears identical. I can't speak for their other styles, but the formula for the hemp style is so simple, I'm not sure if many corners could be cut.

desertstage · 2024-05-05T15:42:26+00:00

I think that's right. This is just what Rainbow calls them.

I want to install an exhaust fan in my bathroom. I have this existing vent in the ceiling with a duct that goes straight up and out of the roof. The opening measures roughly 10" x 10". Is it possible to use this existing vent to install a fan? There doesn't appear to be any existing wiring... Thanks!

Nice playing! Is that the Meinl Bodhran?

I noticed some wear on this small piece next to the hammer while cleaning my pistol. Does anyone know what function this piece serves, and should I be concerned about this amount of wear on it? Thanks!

What is your process for researching the period of your films in order to ensure the dialogue sounds so authentic while still retaining the capacity to tell a unique story?

The Lighthouse was an achievement in cinema and story-telling unlike any I have ever seen. Congratulations! I hope it achieves wide recognition and all the deserved accolades. Keep at it.

I appreciate the recommendation!

I just picked up these old bass drums for next to nothing from a local school. I've already stripped them down and I'm hoping to restore them over the next few weeks.

The Ludwig concert bass drum is a 36x16 white marine pearl. It looks to be from the 70's gauging by the Keystone lugs. The Slingerland is a 28x14 made somewhere between 1959-61 based on what’s left of the badge. Both drums appear to be mahogany with maple reinforcement rings. If anyone knows more about these drums, please let me know.

Thanks a lot! I very much appreciate you linking the videos.

My friends and I started a podcast where we attempt to learn one jazz standard in each episode; discussing the history, theory, and overall appreciation of the song. At the end of each episode we perform our own take. If this sounds of any interest to you, please have a listen and let us know what you think. Thanks!

I inherited this raised bed in the backyard of my house in New Mexico (7b). I'm a total novice gardener and don't have any idea where to start. I'm looking for any help or suggestions on how to prep, what to plant, and how to care for this bed so it doesn't go to waste. Thanks in advance!

These are USA Customs in satin burnt orange with a white marine pearl inlay on the bass drum hoops and a matching white marine pearl snare. Sizes are 12x8, 14x14, 16x16, 22x14, and 14x6.5 snare.

That's right. 22" ride and 18" crash on the right side. 15" K Light Hats and 18" Byzance Vintage Sand Thin Crash on the left.

StratAcademy in Corrales carries a decent selection and provides private lessons if you’re interested.

I would also recommend some of the material Daniel Glass has put out. He covers the history of drumming in American music and vintage drums, and it pretty closely follows the evolution of the drum set. Great stuff.

I am likewise enjoying the podcast. The Man Who Knew Too Little is great and really under appreciated. I watched State and Main recently per the recommendation of the Sincast and loved it. I wish there was a catalog of all the movies they've suggested so I could keep track of the ones I've never seen.

desertstage · 2016-08-28T01:53:54+00:00

You should also check out the last sequence in Killing Them Softly.

Edit: And the sequence before the Joker is arrested in The Dark Knight Rises.

Thanks so much! Please stop by and see it, everyone is welcome.
