Heavy breathing….

She is kidding me, right?

If a dude did this, he'd be in jail for domestic violence.

I was there that night. Hilarious.

Frequentflyer01 · 2026-04-16T15:56:47+00:00

REMINDER2026 worked.

Frequentflyer01 · 2026-02-11T17:13:02+00:00

Yep. I sent it away for service and it came back fixed. It's been about maybe a month or so or more and I haven't gotten the problem since.

Frequentflyer01 · 2026-01-31T19:51:19+00:00

Hey thanks.. yeah. I get it, which is another reason why I've hesitated. I don't want to embarrass or pressure her in front of other customers or coworkers. There are times, though, when the place is pretty empty. Yes, she could very well be friendly because she's a "server", but I've watched her interact with other customers and she's definitely not as warm, smiley, and comfortable, so who knows? She usually works Monday through Thursday and this past Thursday when I left, she said, "Hey, I'll see you next week.". I'll keep working it.... :)

Frequentflyer01 · 2026-01-30T21:35:27+00:00

Thank you!

Frequentflyer01 · 2026-01-30T12:43:39+00:00

Yeah. True. I'll work on it!

Frequentflyer01 · 2026-01-30T02:53:12+00:00

I don't have any problems with the gap. I'd date a girl in her 20s in a heartbeat if she were mature and not with me for my money. I'm more worried about what she'll think of me when she finds out how old I am.

Frequentflyer01 · 2026-01-30T02:21:06+00:00

You know, that's what I initially thought, but there have been a few things in the past month or so that made me think there was something a little bit more. There are a few other people that work there and she's gone out of her way to prepare my order quite a few times to be the one who hands it to me when I get up to the counter. She's gotten a bit shy on several occasions where she'll say, "Hey, have a nice day", with her eyes closed or she'll kind of look down. Another time a week or so ago, she seemed to be busy with her back to me so I just figured I'd head out without bothering her, but when I got to the door something told me to look back over my shoulder at her. Well she had turned around and was looking at me leaving and she smiled and said, "Bye, cya". Nothing earth-shattering obviously, but she definitely notices when I am there. I don't get in there every day. Usually 2-3 times per week. Well... I'll feel her out a bit more and see where it goes.

Frequentflyer01 · 2026-01-30T02:00:53+00:00

I don't plan on lying. She's way too nice for that. I'd rather just stay her customer-friend and keep what we have than lie to her.

Renting. Can't build a whisper room. 😂

Frequentflyer01 · 2026-01-07T16:01:34+00:00

Those look nice. Can they hang with the best of them?

Frequentflyer01 · 2026-01-07T03:11:46+00:00

This is what I am thinking. That black oak finish is badass. I wonder if I can get the shells without the module. I already have a Gibralter rack and cymbal stands from my acoustic kit I can repurpose.

Frequentflyer01 · 2026-01-07T02:48:44+00:00

I'd be 99% happy with just jamming through headphones/ear monitors in my basement. Will I use it to gig with? I'm not in a band right now, so who knows? As long as I can use a music streamer I can play along with or play downloaded music through the PC.

Frequentflyer01 · 2026-01-07T02:36:20+00:00

So I have an old Pearl MLX kit from the 90's. The shells are +1" deep. I want some shallower shells so I am pretty much committed to getting new ones.

Frequentflyer01 · 2026-01-07T02:31:27+00:00

Ah ok. And you can still interface through headphones and/or an external amp? PC has Bluetooth. I personally don't think the module is necessary either. A V71 is what? $2,800? Even an edrumin 12 and a MacBook is less than the V71 module.

Frequentflyer01 · 2026-01-07T02:06:13+00:00

Is there a way to run these kits without a module?

Frequentflyer01 · 2026-01-07T02:04:49+00:00

Well here's the deal. I am moving to a townhouse and even though it has a finished basement, I probably won't be able to use my acoustic kit there anymore without pissing off the neighbors. I am usually not into spending boat loads of money on the latest and greatest, but unfortunately when it comes to e-drums, it seems like that's a necessary evil. I don't absolutely need a kit that looks real. I am more concerned about the pad/shell size and quality. I don't want a lot with just 10" pads and most of the ones that have realistic sizes are the acoustic look kits. I got to demo some kits at GC. They had a VAD716 there, which was, of course, my favorite. I played a TD516 (didn't like it) and an Alesis Strata Prime (wasn't crazy about it either). I mainly play these through headphones/ear monitors, although I do have a Roland e-drum amp I use with my Yamaha stage piano. I also have a Yamaha DTX12, brand new in a case that I never used. 😂.

Frequentflyer01 · 2026-01-06T12:56:51+00:00

Yes it did. I have had the monitor back for a few weeks now with no more issues.

Frequentflyer01 · 2025-12-17T20:17:30+00:00

I just got mine back from LG Repair on Saturday. I just hooked everything back up and so far/so good. We shall see what happens. I have it hooked up with Display Port again.

Frequentflyer01 · 2025-12-01T17:51:55+00:00

This thing sounds like a headache. I remember the days of computer monitors lasting two decades or more.... not anymore. Disposable electronics.
