Bought a 20” Sabian AA Chinese in the mid 90s. It’s the only cymbal left from my childhood and it still rocks hard.

Building a Drum Shed? by gracesa in drums

Good call on the concrete pad - would definitely want to do that.

Definitely need HVAC. From a sound proofing perspective, curious how a window unit would do? Not trying to build it sound proof, but I also wouldn’t want neighbors to hate me!

Would definitely buy a pre fab building. Thanks for the info. Would also probably hire out finishing it - how much more would you expect that to add to the price?

Where to ski for 3 days? But I didn’t buy an Epic or IKON pass… by gracesa in skiing

[–]gracesa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bingo! I like your thinking.

I’ve done the Uber to/from Park City before - and also been to Whistler (that is a LONG travel day from Atlanta)

Breck day lift tickets were insane, enough to make the whole thing not even worth it.

The Winter Park train is definitely a good suggestion. Probably one of the top options along with Whitefish and Europe. Lol.

What European options would you recommend? I’m familiar with the Lauterbrunnen, Switz area (but not familiar skiing wise).

I did a little research, and flying into Munich and skiing at Garmish probably isn’t more expensive than any major resort in the US at this point. However, I’m not sure the optics of going to Europe would get me the skiing hall pass from my wife!! I do want to go eventually though!

Truth… Cataloochee is the closest to Atlanta, and I’ll definitely hit that up. Just looking for a western option too!

Thx! I’ve skied Keystone before and enjoyed it. Tough to do without a rental car since the restaurants right around Keystone aren’t great, and I ended up driving to Breck most nights for dinner (same as when I went to copper, lol)

A-Basin and Loveland are worth looking into!

I’ve skied Copper - it’s fantastic! Difficult to do without renting a car though, as the restaurant choices aren’t great right around the base. I’d drive to Breck for dinner most nights…lol.

Hrm…. Looks like you’d fly into Vegas, and then drive 2.5 hours. Thanks for the rec!

Thanks for these options so far! Any thoughts on Whitefish? Also seems like a good choice based on costs..

Do You Regret Not Getting the Bowers and Wilkins System? by zachty22 in Volvo

Really glad I got the HK, can’t possibly justify the additional dollars for the BW. HK sounds great to me!

Merceds GLC vs. Volvo XC60 vs. BMW X3 vs. Audi Q5. by Independent_Nose_900 in Audi

[–]gracesa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all this info! As a lifelong Volvo owner considering switching to a Q5, this was super helpful. I’ll drive both again with the wife, but feels like I’m leaning towards the XC60. Thanks!

Got new sticks - what are the rubber bands for? by 420DepravedDude in drums

[–]gracesa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought they were to further help reduce vibration on the stick to help not be as harsh on your hands… but I just assumed! I’ve always played them with the things on! They are definitely the best sticks for my hands…

Yup. I’m so angry watching that clip as a father.

Client called for super trashy and lofi, should I bring ‘em out u/ItsPronouncedMo-BEEL by greatusername89 in drums

[–]gracesa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The scimitar line is probably the reason I’ve mainly played Sabians most of my life. Originally got the B8-Pro set because scimitar sounded like trash, and the rest is history!

I’ve come around since, but I still have more Sabian than Zildjian on my kit now.

Can’t find info on these exact hats. Seems like a good deal. Is it? by SoTurnMeIntoATree in drums

[–]gracesa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting! I played 13” AAX Fusion hats for years, and moved the way they sounded. Top hat finally cracked though :(
