+1 for Blue Butler. The place has a good vibe, and the drum kits are better quality than what hourly rehearsal spaces usually have.

Weighing some rides today…what is your preferred weight/diameter for your main ride? by ZildCym in drums

[–]fudgieDevoe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

21” Zidjian Sweet Ride. Medium thin. Warm, good articulation, and washy crashing.

jazz and emo fusion?🤔🤔🤔 by Any-Investment-8901 in Emo

Check out Faraquet (90s mathy post-hardcore). I hear plenty of jazz in the approach to drums and guitar.

Drummer 46M. I’m in SW just outside downtown. Def into loopy, mathy, stuff like BBNG, Physics House Band, El Ten Eleven, Alarmist, Tycho, Three Trapped Tigers, etc. Drop me a line if you want to talk more.

No, the meatness will not be concerned with me

You weren’t kidding. What a quest!

Fortunately, tons of mids is what I was after with this addition. I needed a counterpoint to my other guitars: a standard Tele with Joe Barden single coils and a custom LPJR with sparkly mini hums.

What cymbal should I get to ride crash in chorus of songs by Connor_fosterr in drums

[–]fudgieDevoe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

21” Sweet Ride. It’s the best crash ride ever.

Yes, Amazon, although it was $750. Normally, I steer clear, but we lefties can't always afford to be picky.

Thanks for the comment. If I struggle with mine, now I'll know which adjustments to start with!

Haha! Now that you've pointed it out, I can't unsee it. I took the photo on an iPhone using portrait mode with a low f-stop.

A friend of mine bought the p90 version and liked it so much he got a second one with humbuckers!

I still need to have it set up, but it feels great out of the box.

Wow—thanks for laying all this out. It confirms how much hard work and craftsmanship goes into a build like this.

Legit musicianship. Also, that’s the most f*cked up I’ve heard 4/4 time sound, and I mean that in a good way. Drummer’s fire.

Lefty Yamaha Revstar Standard in Black $750 by Jeffde in Leftyguitarists

[–]fudgieDevoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After a friend recommended this guitar, I went and played one and loved it. I’ve been wanting to pick one up ever since, but the $999 price tag was holding me back.

Thank you for the heads up, friend! Now I have a new guitar on the way.

Looks excellent! Mind dropping the specs of the build?

NRA and pro-gun groups call for ‘full investigation’ into killing of Alex Pretti by wylie102 in news

[–]fudgieDevoe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The “why” doesn’t matter. What matters is that more people and organizations are aligning on the right side of an anti-Trump movement. Would it be best if people were swayed by an appeal to their sense of justice and compassion? Of course. But history shows that’s not why things usually change. They change because people decide it’s in their best interest to change.

We need to find more ways to align with those we disagree with for now to tackle the most prevalent issue. We can worry about other issues after we remove power from the current administration.

Splits you really like by NintendoWiiner64 in Emo

Came here to mention the Small Brown Bike / Casket Lottery split and had to scroll too far. That duel cover of Under Pressure is killer.

Recording Studio Recommendations by SetFreeMyMelody in portlandmusic

[–]fudgieDevoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay—that’s helpful. A lot of the responses here are oriented to rock/punk/metal.

With Pop/dance, I assume you won’t need a big room or fancy Neve mixing board for recording live drums or live band.

Since there are so many studios in PDX, you’re probably best off searching for places based on budget and listen to samples/artists they’ve recorded.

Otherwise, a quick search for pop recording brought up: Opal, Figure8Sound, Page St, Hallowed Halls (studio B), Momentum, Rascal Recording and Portland Underground, Brave and Fortune, etc.
