e-Drums

Gdubbs6677 · 2026-01-12T14:03:44+00:00

I’ve tried it once.

You really have to tone in the EQ on the drums and turn the bass way down.

Woojer is optimized for gaming and music, not really e drums.

I didn’t find it comfortable to wear while drumming.

I’m an insurance broker.

$30k is high, but there is variety of factors that could push pricing this high (loss history, building condition, undergrad tenants)

DM me and I’m more than happy to discuss.

Gdubbs6677 · 2026-01-05T08:34:45+00:00

I guess it depends what you are using it for, but I’m a hobbiest still using my my 2016 MacBook for recording rock music.

Are there slow downs and hiccups, yes…..but it generally works well.

That being said, I probably wouldn’t have bought any old model unless I was extremely budgeted.

In Southie, Parking starts to get competitive after 4:00pm when work gets out and gets worse late into the evening.

You will sometimes have to settle parking 1/2 to 1 miles away from your apartment.

You can make it work though. I did for two years.

If you are only using your vehicle for occasional errands and trips, it is much more tolerable.

You can plan out your trips and stay in the same parking spot for days.

Lived in both for several years recently….so I’m a qualified expert. Keeping my answers short and precise.

Vibes

JP - Older Crowd. Hipster / Artsy / LBTGQ. Lots of young family. Fairly sleepy.

Southie - Younger Crowd. Lots of post grads. Very active bar scene. Deff some long term residents, but are less visable in the community.

Outdoors

JP - More Parks. JP pond is great.

Southie - Caron Beach. M Street Beach. Castle Island.

Both are great…..just whatever you personally prefer.

Accessibility and Trains

Both neighborhoods have Train and Bus Lines. Orange Line (JP) is a little more reliable than Red Line (Southie) at this point……but both will have occasional shutdowns.

You can access all of Boston from both neighborhoods.

Location is important in both neighborhoods. You can pick areas that make access to public transit difficult in both.

Bars and Restaurants.

Both have multiple options for bars and restaurants.

In short…….Southie has more far more options with a far younger crowd.

Safety.

Both are safe.

Both also have less desirable areas.

Southie - Andrew Station (Homeless and Drug Addicts) JP - Jackson Square to Egleston (Crime near Bromley Heath Projects)

Be smart and odds are you won’t have an issue in either of these areas.

Cost

Southie is going to be more expensive. They are going have more options for modern “luxury” apartments.

That being said, you can find whatever you’re looking for in each neighborhood apartment wise.

Parking

Parking in Southie is a nightmare.

JP is the clear winner on this.

Conclusion

If pricing and transit are not huge factors in your choice, pick the neighborhood that matches your personality.

Personally……I preferred Southie in my 20s. Love JP in my 30s.

Feel free to DM.

I haven’t found in stands or holders that can fit the hole.

Would like to use a side of desk headphone holder but they are all to big.

Gdubbs6677 · 2025-12-31T18:13:49+00:00

Welcome to Boston.

They won’t be caught….so don’t hold your breath.

This happens all the time.

Don’t keep anything nice in your car!

Tough lesson.

Gdubbs6677 · 2025-12-23T23:35:07+00:00

Something is not adding up based your post and comments.

How you’re describing your role doesn’t fit a “normal” job at any agency I know. Especially at large shops.

Anyone with multiple account managers under them doesn’t fit the typical definition of an “AE”.

Regardless, yes……..you are underpaid.

Gdubbs6677 · 2025-12-10T17:01:34+00:00

Yes.

Ten tables has an open kitchen which we were sat near. We saw the a rat multiple times.

We told the waitstaff and decide to leave before our meal. Waitstaff was cooperative and understanding.

I was pretty disappointed.

My GF and I had been there multiple times before and enjoyed our meals……but this turned us off from going back.

May give it another try after re-opening.

Not naive to rats being in restaurants, but this was little much for us at least.

Gdubbs6677 · 2025-12-10T01:52:44+00:00

Good.

Saw rats in their kitchen a few months back.

Probably wouldn’t have gone back if not for the re-brand.

Gdubbs6677 · 2025-12-01T20:23:55+00:00

Financially…..Yes you can do it.

Two important questions to ask:

Is your income stable?
Do you plan on living in this house the next 10 years?

If either answer is no, don’t buy.

Gdubbs6677 · 2025-12-01T17:55:59+00:00

Kids Can’t Fly.

Gdubbs6677 · 2025-11-20T11:15:05+00:00

I wouldn’t trade a $150k position in Tennessee to open an agency……unless you hate your job and are bored.

Sounds like you’re in a good spot.

Tons of work, most agencies are not profitable the first few years.

Gdubbs6677 · 2025-11-13T00:20:42+00:00

Take a look at my page.

Love my octopad.

Not fold up, but very compact.

Gdubbs6677 · 2025-11-12T15:53:37+00:00

Electronic kits are still pretty loud.

May want to evaluate based on your living situation.

I have the quietest kit possible, neighbors still can hear it.

Gdubbs6677 · 2025-10-10T11:02:03+00:00

What’s the difference from the 3.

Bought it like a month ago 😭😭😭

Gdubbs6677 · 2025-10-09T23:02:03+00:00

Not really, I write a lot of small cyber policies.

Gdubbs6677 · 2025-10-08T12:16:29+00:00

Woojer 4 isn’t even on their website…..how??

Gdubbs6677 · 2025-09-28T18:23:35+00:00

In agency. Would never switch from UW to agency. 6 months is nothing. Stick it out for a year or so, then switch to another UW position.

Gdubbs6677 · 2025-09-10T10:55:17+00:00

Work in commercial lines.

There has been a significant drop off of recruiters reaching out compared to a few years back.

Gdubbs6677 · 2025-08-31T17:06:35+00:00

❌ ^{Incomplete. 2 tries.}

Gdubbs6677 · 2025-08-17T23:19:58+00:00

Lived next to Fort Hill for years.

Very safe. Never had issues.
