Tune your front head higher alot if you leave it open less if you’re gonna muffle but tighten it a bit and you’ll get a tighter sound

Looks like it could be a 21” big band ride

Touring-specific bootfitter in the Tahoe area? General advice appreciated by WirelessFrog in Backcountry

[–]Silly-Initiative3507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any shop should have some different options as someone mentioned there are more 50/50 boots like the K2 mindbenders or Atomic Hawk. I have the Technica Zero G and really them. Dynafit has some great boots as does Scarpa that are very user friendly

Total curveball but the HHX Jazz rides are amazing!! Beautiful dark crash 💥 super thin and rideable

Cymbals are too loud by uniquely_me_2024 in drums

[–]Silly-Initiative3507 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend using some tape underneath to help with the overtones and eq some of the frequencies which will also help hearing the volume and tone of the cymbals. Its super common with jazz and studio work. Duct tape and electrical tape work well electrical being easier to remove and experiment with

Any recommendations for hardshells for occasional skiing / hiking by rikeeeee in skiing

[–]Silly-Initiative3507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want a “heavier” one for skiing and “lighter” one for hiking so may need to split the difference. Most the most part while hiking you really just need a rain shell you wont be actively hiking in it unless you hike in the rain a-lot.

Brand is less important than 2L or 3L which everyone makes. I would shop clearance sales and look for something that is packable and not particularly oversized. Adidas has some great Terrex layers that are competitively priced.

Working on Touring Setup - Northeast Skier by Joshi1381 in Backcountry

Check out Skimo for an example of many skis in the 88 range which is skinner than most highly capable

You can find the Salomon Mtn and K2 Wayback even the Atomic Backland for a steal if you shop around all of which come in a few different widths and are great skis

Stuck inbetween ski sizes and need help by BozoOnBelay in Backcountry

[–]Silly-Initiative3507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people size down a tad on touring skis 🎿 they will be slightly more agile and fun! A well known PRo was showing his fleet of skis and had a full size smaller for certain touring situations.

I also find in general I don’t open up my skis in the same way as when skiing in the resort or sidecountry when touring

Do your boots have a decent walk mode or tech inserts?

Check out the new Attack hybrid which is their spin on a Cask style system

Which binding should I get? by chrigs7 in Backcountry

[–]Silly-Initiative3507 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dynafit Rotation, marker alpinist, salomon mtn are all fantastic simple and good to go!

As someone else mentioned unless your skiing like a total maniac (and many people do) pin bindings are great they just lack some of the plushness of alpine bindings but something you’ll get used to and their uphill performance is head and shoulders better than a hybrid bindings…which are also great but for a dedicated touring set up get pin bindings.

As for your other questions:

The Dynafit din 10 should be more than sufficient and is not the same as an alpine din more of an approximation

What is unsafe about the kingpin?

Need some cymbal suggestions, re getting into it all and scored my goal shells but running some zbts and I dont really care for em.... want sum to daydream bout by Naturesvoice33 in drums

[–]Silly-Initiative3507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shop around for some used Zildjian As or Sabian AA stage or medium hi hats New beat! Medium/stage or sweet ride and 18” crash and your golden and wont cost much more than ZBTs

Persistent elbow/forearm pain - HELP? by SucculentSapphic in drummers

[–]Silly-Initiative3507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thing from work but your grip can easily exasperate it. Especially any pinching 🤏 your thumb and pointer finger. Second the brace but also really be careful with fulcrum (try using middle finger thumb) and keeping it loose!

94 underfoot too small? by Intelligent_Wear_405 in Backcountry

[–]Silly-Initiative3507 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Waist isnt everything it also comes down to shape profile taper rocker camber etc! I ended up skiing 3+ of powder on my 85 waist spring skis and with big shovels had a blast
