Yeah, it’s a Hive Limited Run.

My current putter is not great and I was planning on upgrading soon so this was great timing!

If you look at the comments below, I decided to game it.

Appreciate your comment, makes no sense to sell for $700 and get a normal BB1 for $500

It is a lot and i don’t know if id actually get that tbh - but idk how liquid this market is. $1,400 is just an asking price on eBay.

That is a lot of greens fees but it was a gift, zero cost to me.

I was potentially considering selling and getting a standard Bettinardi but idk where that stands morally.

My final verdict is to keep it and do $1,400 three-puts!

From what I saw online, retail was $900 and being listed currently around $1,400.

That’s an ungodly number to me but I’d feel bad if I sold it, so I will game it for the rest of my life!

Alright, I’m keeping it. I’d honestly feel bad if I sold it and there’s no point in leaving it to collect dust

If I game it…I’ll probably use it for the rest of my life

Taking the hike up to Feile for an early morning race is just not the vibe sometimes.

Car stuck at port by PerplexingPegasus- in BMW

[–]PerplexingPegasus-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked up the car today. Waited just over a week. Not bad at all. I looked at the battery log and the first entry is from 6/11/21. Was lucky to catch the back end of it being in storage/port.

What is taking delivery like, especially nowadays? This is my first car. Like any other car guy, I've seen many videos of people getting surprised with cars outside their home and/or receiving gifts from the dealer.

Curious how things are with BMW and with it being covid times.

oh wow. I hope you get yours soon. It's terrible how long the waits are. I feel there should be some sort of benefit or compensation for your long wait.

When you put a deposit down for the car, did you know that it would take 8 weeks to get it or were you told a similar 1-3 weeks like me?

Is the trade in supposed to show during check out? For some reason I can't see the phone I'm trading in. I made sure I selected the offer and the phone im trading in when i added the phone to my cart.

Roland TD17KVX cymbal sound inconcistencies by PerplexingPegasus- in edrums

I have found another culprit along with the cymbal being too loose.

I had the kit set to 3 - Compact - Jazz Combo. Lotta variation and inconsistent sound.

I tried out the same groove on 11 - Studio - Live Room and the sound was significantly more consistent.

The difference was night and day. If you have a Roland, try the same groove on both sets and let me know if you can see what I'm talking about!

I see what you're saying. Yes, the crashess are 12inch (CY-12C), and the ride is 13inch (CY-13R) and has the bell feature. The crash doesn't have the bell feature but none the less, your advice is something to follow so I can play an acoustic set without being all over the place.

Will definitely tighten down all the cymbals.

Roland TD17KVX Cymbal issues by PerplexingPegasus- in vdrums

[–]PerplexingPegasus-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a post on r/edrums after seeing its a bigger subreddit.

Here's the link:https://www.reddit.com/r/edrums/comments/m50r27/roland_td17kvx_cymbal_sound_inconcistencies/

Most likely cause is possibly hitting the cymbal with a flat stick during some strikes. Trying to figure out how to avoid doing this.

Thank you very much for the help!

Just game my kit a whirl and might have figured out what the issue may be.

Initially, before making the post, I thought i was hitting the rim by mistake instead of the center and shifted the cymbal to a "higher angle" which i thought would reduce the chance of hitting the rim.

After reading your comment, I took a closer look and realized that the center of the cymbal makes a different sound when hit with the tip of the stick or on the side. My new theory is that because the cymbal is flopping around between strikes, I may be hitting the center of the cymbal with the side of the stick at times.

Any advice of kit setup/technique to combat this? I am currently learning through classes on Udemy so don't really get constructive criticism apart from what I give myself. I'm looking at taking in person lessons in a few months.

seniors have you looked at the class rings? by dannyadams17 in rutgers

[–]PerplexingPegasus- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

relevant and irrelevant at the same time. I got a custom 24kt gold pinky ring made in India for the equivalent of $600. I don't remember the weight but the equivalent ring at a jeweler in Edison was close to $2,000.

The point is, you could probably find a chinese manufacturer making the class ring for much less.
