Verbose not working with the Epochs.drop_bad method

Describe the bug

The verbose argument in not working in the drop_bad() method.

Steps to reproduce

import os
import mne


sample_data_folder = mne.datasets.sample.data_path()
sample_data_raw_file = os.path.join(sample_data_folder, 'MEG', 'sample',
                                    'sample_audvis_raw.fif')
raw = mne.io.read_raw_fif(sample_data_raw_file, verbose=False).crop(tmax=60)
events = mne.find_events(raw, stim_channel='STI 014')
epochs = mne.Epochs(raw, events, tmin=-0.3, tmax=0.7)

epochs.verbose = False

epochs.drop_bad(verbose=True)

Expected results

The verbose argument set to True overwrites the Epochs.verbose attribute and prints the number of bad epochs dropped.

86 events found
Event IDs: [ 1  2  3  4  5 32]
Not setting metadata
Not setting metadata
86 matching events found
Applying baseline correction (mode: mean)
Created an SSP operator (subspace dimension = 3)
3 projection items activated
Loading data for 86 events and 601 original time points ...
1 bad epochs dropped

Actual results

The number of bad epochs dropped is not printed.

Event IDs: [ 1  2  3  4  5 32]

Additional information

It seems that in the source code of drop_bad() the argument verbose which defaults to None is not used.

Also this following code doesn’t print info:

That one at least shouldn’t based on how the code is designed. The precedence/order is meant to be:

• verbose arg is used if not None
• verbose attribute of a class is used if not None
• global verbose level is used

And in that last example, the raw gets initialized with verbose=False, so raw.load_data() should always be in non-verbose mode regardless of set_log_level.

(I can take a look at fixing the verbose decorator if it would help, since it does seem like the first/top-comment example is problematic)

Thanks @larsoner, that would be nice if you have time as I’m not very familiar with it and it appears to be used as a decorator for a lot of functions/methods in MNE. Please let me know if I can help.
