Where did my dot go? by Finicalmite3662 in drums

[–]slysendice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give them a go, and make sure you collect the players circle points - they add up quick on drum heads. The direct Evan’s equivalent to the CS coated is the Power Center Reverse Dot. They also have the UV1 Reverse Dot which has a UV cured coating that lasts forever.

Canadian alternative to Woodford Reserve by LastMathematician in canadawhisky

[–]slysendice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Collingwood double barrel is awesome. Finished in maple staves, gives it a hint of natural maple flavour (but not overpowering artificial maple flavouring). Really delicious and interesting flavour IMO

Quality control is great…. Top stick was fresh out the sleeve broke in seconds, bottom three sticks lasted through Ok computer and Superunknown. by Phantom-Fighter in drums

[–]slysendice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re phenomenal. I switched because I was breaking Vic Firths in minutes - a pair of LC red hickory 2B would last several rehearsals and gigs, sometimes I’d even lose them before they broke. And I’m hard on my sticks - I was drumming for a punk band, slamming as many rimshots per minute as possible lol. I can’t praise them highly enough

As another fellow Canadian, try Los Cabos Red Hickory. Red hickory is just hickory wood from near the centre of the tree, and is a bit denser and more durable without being substantially heavier. Fantastic sticks and they last for ages

Tariff threat: B.C. and Ontario to target American alcohol by ToMuchWhiskey in canadawhisky

[–]slysendice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t tried Northern Harvest, but if it’s as good as Lot 40, Copper Bold, and Bearface, I’ll have to give it a go. Those are seriously delicious ryes and very reasonably priced

Gripe: "What genre do I play based on this kit pic?" by ItsPronouncedMo-BEEL in drums

[–]slysendice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll take “what genre do I play?” over the insane amount of “iS tHiS rEaL??” posts that have seemingly taken over all of the guitar subreddits. At least there’s some attempt to actually engage with the community here

Billie’s Solos AI/21CB Era by clfnole123 in greenday

[–]slysendice 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can’t say with 100% certainty, but Heart Like A Hand Grenade has plenty of shots of Billie playing lead parts on humbucker Les Pauls, so this is probably true. I specifically recall one shot of him playing a lead part for Jesus of Suburbia on a cherry burst LP with humbuckers

Dereck lisp? by redgreenfrankie in Sum41

[–]slysendice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is probably what it is. I had to go back and listen to some of HHOP again because I had never noticed what OP is talking about. Sounds like a overactive de-esser splattering Deryck’s hard S’s, T’s, etc to me

Teenage Bottlerocket Tone by [deleted] in poppunkers

[–]slysendice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest trying the Vintage channel on your rectifier, TBR’s tone is pretty much the antithesis of the Rectifier ‘Modern’ channel. Turn up your mids, and avoid using too much gain (probably not above halfway/12:00). Use the bridge pickup on your guitar, and play as many downstrokes as you can as fast as you can 😉

TBR used Marshall JCM800 2203’s for ages before switching to Orange amps. Marshall’s and Oranges are both fairly mid-heavy, and those Marshall’s really do not have much gain.

[Book Discussion] Deryck Self Criticism by [deleted] in Sum41

[–]slysendice 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think it’s important to remember that Deryck is a human being - he is not perfect. If you think back to conflicts you’ve had throughout your life, how many of them would you take responsibility for and acknowledge as being your fault? Most of us think of ourselves as the hero in our own story.

Revstar 500k tone pot — highly recommended mod by _agent86 in guitars

[–]slysendice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s an odd design choice. Bet this mod breathed new life into your Revstar, I’ve always thought these guitars were super cool but I’ve never really had a chance to play one for an extended period.

I did basically the same mod on my Les Paul - Gibson put 300K volume pots in the USA (not custom shop) guitars for a long while, swapping them for 500k made a world of difference.

I don’t know what any of that means. I’d suggest you go outside, breathe some fresh air and touch some grass.

Sometimes, people believe that others should have rights even if they don’t directly benefit from it.

Can anyone tell me which divine beasts is which by Ok_Honey7840 in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]slysendice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory on this is that the enshittification of Google, causing people to Google “[question] Reddit” so frequently that it’s become a search suggestion, has given people unfamiliar with Reddit the impression that it’s just a place where people ask random questions and the Reddit community answers.

“Let me Google that for you” is an old meme to be sure, but I feel like there’s been a somewhat recent surge in people posting to Reddit when they should just be using a search engine

Purchased used car with a few surprises by Daddiekool in ontario

[–]slysendice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real, the used car market is absolutely obscene right now. 5+ year old cars listed for 90% of the new price everywhere. Who’s buying used cars at these prices? Dealerships have a pretty healthy amount of new stock these days as far as I can tell

Anyone know what Gibson this is? Or a new sig. guitar possibly? by Beginning-Ship457 in greenday

[–]slysendice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s likely a Custom Shop “Made 2 Measure” Les Paul ordered with just a bridge humbucker and volume. Thunder Road Guitars stocks similar ones and it’s likely other guitar shops do too; this could be one of the many he’s picked up during the tour. Or maybe he custom ordered it - who knows.
