  1. Isn't this just simple every six months 'phone home' scheme in use since BandLab took over?
  2. I gotz a caze of teh fat fingahz
  3. My work day ends at 3:00PM. Typically that is nap time. The Lovely Lady says I cannot start a nap after 4:00PM because I end up keeping her up until midnight. My typical nap time is 1 hour, but occasionally (weekends) I can grab 2 - 2.5 hours especially with a raging migraine.
  4. $63 for me. I already own all but Thematic Horns and Soaring High Strings. So I get the same 35% off on the upgrade cost of $98. Purchased!
  5. I just use the "close enough for jazz" tuning method.
  6. So you are the one who popped bapu's cherry open?
  7. For his impact I'd agree. A plethora of pro drummers love Ringo to be sure. I do too. If it had to be only 5, I would easily drop Charlie for Ringo. Only because Ringo covered more diverse styles than Charlie, IMO, even though Charlies was far more technically competent than Ringo (again JMO).
  8. +0.8 Yeah but.... did he really make classic rock classic? In the top 10 best rock drummers of all time, probably I'd agree.
  9. This popped up in my newsfeed. Back in the 1960s and ’70s, classic rock was big, and the spotlight was usually brightest on the guys with the mics and/or the guitars. We think the ones in the back, sticks in hand, setting the rhythm to every tune should get a lot more attention. The drummers who helped make classic rock, well…classic were so much more than mere background noise; they kept the beat, set the pace, and brought that raw energy that is essential to classic rock. Here are five drummers who didn’t just play the drums—they helped make classic rock classic. 1. John Bonham of Led Zeppelin When you’re talking about classic rock bands, Led Zeppelin belongs at the top of the list. And when you’re talking about classic rock drummers, well, John Bonham is up there too. Bonham was the thunder behind the storm known as Led Zeppelin. Take “When the Levee Breaks,” for example. Is there a more iconic intro than that one? Also, in “Good Times, Bad Times,” Bonham nailed those ridiculously rapid beats with just one bass drum. Go ahead and try that. It’ll take you all of three seconds to realize how talented Bonham was. 2. Keith Moon of The Who When you think of energetic, frantic, absolutely crazy drumming, Keith Moon comes to mind. The man was an absolute whirlwind behind the drums. His playing style was wild, full of life, and full of power. Imagine a song like “My Generation” with a different drummer. It just would not be the same. Sure, he was a bit of a loose cannon offstage, but his drumming was that of a creative genius. 3. Neil Peart of Rush If Moon and Bonham were the fire-breathing dragons of classic rock drummers, Neil Peart was its wizard. He mixed rock and jazz to make Rush that unique entity in music: something that no one, anywhere, ever, could sound like. We suggest listening to “YYZ” as a case study. Peart was also the brains behind Rush’s thought-provoking lyrics. That is something that not a lot of drummers could say. 4. Ginger Baker of Cream How committed was Ginger Baker to expanding his musical horizons? He moved to Nigeria in the ’70s to seek out new styles. Of course, Baker had already reached classic rock bliss as the drummer for Cream. Before Peart, Baker blended jazz and rock drumming to create Cream’s distinct sound. 5. Charlie Watts of The Rolling Stones The endurance award goes to Charlie Watts. The Rolling Stones’ super chill drummer was the steady heartbeat of the band for more than 50 years. And while his style was less showy, his beats in songs like “Start Me Up” fit like a glove. Watts loved jazz, but it’s his legendary impact on classic rock that earned him a spot on our list.
  10. Yesterday I saw sort of the same thing. I had an ad for a legit Hartke 4x10 cab pop up. B&H Photo for $829 but up above that ad were related products from about 12 company names like Dave described above. All from China. Selling their Hartke 4x10 ranging in price from $77 to $99. No, I did not buy any of them. Not even the legit B&H one.
  11. FYI even if in English his Studio One Course is for V4 not V6.
  12. Here comes Albert Einstein, Erwin Schröedinger, and J. Robert Oppenheimer!
  13. I picked SigMod since I already own Aligner, MonoFilter4/Stereoizer3/StereoPlace3. I applied the $100 voucher to ISL2. Not that I need another Limiter but it was just about the only item on offer that I was willing to lay down a U$Grant for.
  14. I was a muso who gravitated to a DAW back in the mid-1980's!
  15. I'd hire the six finger one for guitar and the 3 arm one for drums.
