I like the Peterson clipon Strobe tuner. Handles everything including my upright.
I think there's a newer version out now.
I don't remember
I was not all there during those days. We were on our way to a German studio, (Dieter Dierks, do you know it?) and that was all that was on my mind. Sometime in 1982 I believe.
Carlos, I like it and it seems to do a good job. I keep the clip on at home but use this live. Makes for a nice mute if needed as well. I've not had a problem with either. They both work well and were reasonably priced. I do like how they are easy to see. Some are pretty subdued, but with these you have no problem seeing. The pedal can even detect all strings at once. You can strum a guitar and look to quickly see which string(s) are out of tune.
Some in these parts might say "it needs covers."
I am not among them with this one.
Thought about adding a bridge cover and a center pup cover and a pick guard and a tug bar but realized that none of that would add any sonic value to the bird and would just make it weigh more. It’s just under 9 pounds now so I’m keeping it that way.Some in these parts might say "it needs covers."
The main drummer at church is pretty light footed. I'm kind of to the side of the kick and at times can't hear it well and even have to look instead of listen.
Were you ever in a Cheech and Chong movie?not to upstage but I once went to a party in Birmingham (UK) and woke up in Paris (FR)…..
no joke……
Sounds like he "Flew." But aircraft may not have been involved.
That drives me nuts, I've been in that situation before but to me the drummer is much more than just a timekeeper. I'm not saying I'm always telling them to beat the crap out of the drums, only when it calls for it.
Nothing’s better than a Friday night in Birmingham.not to upstage but I once went to a party in Birmingham (UK) and woke up in Paris (FR)…..

Always wanted to do that. Closest I got was when Sea World had a couple hovercrafts and gave rides around the time it opened in the sixties.
The thing was huge, it transported cars, the ride is not smooth like you think it would be either but it was pretty cool, It took about 45 minutes IIRC.
you implying I enjoyed any of this?...Were you ever in a Cheech and Chong movie?
I kinda wish our(jazz trained)drummer played a little louder. Not all the time, but on some of our more driving numbers.
Yeah, I try to lock in with the drummer and if I can't hear him it's difficult and I only turn down for soundmen.
