Man, you had some intuitive mothers!! and I bet they cooked the best food too to give you the strength. Wish we had pix of you all when you were boys with your instruments when you had just started the journey you are on. Are there any pictures with you in your first performances or bands you started with?? I'm telling you - students, fans etc. would LOVE TO SEE THIS. YES, we really love you guys for developing yourselves through your lives & we know from listening to music of all kinds how much you have worked your hearts & energy continuously blood sweat & tears. How grateful you feel for the musicians that you loved/love maybe might have behooved you to be that yourselves but we are your loyal "awaiting more, reviewing what you already created" very grateful audience!! just like the older mainliner artists who hired you loved & were inspired by your new fresh ambition to love to learn & play for them. AND THANK GD FOR KZfaq SO WE CAN SEE YOU & that you have decided to make vinyl records also!!! we pray for your good health, protection & continuous success in achieving your dreams come true!! thank you thank you!!

Gretsch drum shells are great but I love the die-cast hoops. I had Gretsch drums but I used a Ludwig Black Beauty snare. I ordered a pair of Gretsch die-cast hoops and put those on it and it improved the sound noticeably.

I saw you at Yoshi's, Robben, awesome set. I told you afterwards that I wondered which guitar you would use. You said that you did too! The Telecaster served you well. (Though I must admit, I was also hoping to hear that incredible Les Paul tone. But it was immensely satisfying anyway. ) Wish I'd seen Jing Chi, maybe next time.

Robben used both amps on the entire project, switching back and forth between them. The Roland was always miced up, off camera to Robben’s right side.

@jensenbell 5 жыл бұрын

@@sweetwatersound1043 LOL. now now. The Roland was featured ON CAMERA... because this video expertly shows the viewer great products of the sponsors and how on top of it Sweetwater is in terms of getting us what we need. (Please stop calling me to "check in" I already love you and order from you). The Dumble was mostly hidden... and that's ok. We know it's there. We know it would cost $100,000.00 to buy one. I like knowing that Robben has a fondness for the people behind Roland. That makes it more human. I love that Vinnie bonded with "Mr. and Mrs. Gretsch") I understand that these players are going to sound good. But I also understand that if they were recording at the Record Plant or Village, they would be using vintage Neumann, Shepps, Sennheiser... real rack mounted UA outboard compressors, maybe Massenberg... because of tradition. This video excels in showing us that you don't have to be fully traditional to get a great sound, and boy does this stuff sound great. This video also doesn't hide the fact that, whatever the gear, you need great ears... like your engineer Mark Hornsby has. This video is a "musical lesson," in how creativity is captured WELL. ...and again... I already love Sweetwater and buy regularly... so I don't need to be sold. Haha... I am glad new buyers will get a good vibe about Sweetwater from watching this. (reading the comments... it seems to be working!)

@Corporations8MyBaby 5 жыл бұрын

@@jensenbell I was thinking a lot of the same things except unlike the rest of you folks, I don't think this music sounds that great. Maybe its just how sparse it is, but it sounds like background music that characters talk over. It needs melodies. It's just not going anywhere. I agree about Sweetwater.

He's a leftie but plays a standard right-handed bass, but completely up-side-down. This probably means he couldn't find proper left handed basses when he started learning and it's too late to relearn now!
