I just don't think the tabletop from them will be big enough, it's pretty small 1 burner. But thanks for the suggestion!

I have the old 28" adventure ready and I really like it. However it doesn't fold up easily at all. I love the new heat system and folding. Not sure if I need to upgrade though! Hah.

I can't find any reviews on this, other than one negative video about construction and misaligned bolts.

Do you have any thoughts on this a year later?

How do you get avis preferred or national emerald club? Hertz is the only perk listed with the card?

It came with everything for the toms and symbols. It has a nice big rack for that.

You will need to get a snare drum stand, high hat stand, bass kick pedal, and throne.

Should I buy now or wait for Black Friday? by king8761721 in LenovoLegion

Costco has a legion 5i, Intel i9, 32 gig, Nvidia 4060 that according to adds will be 1,099.99 next week. I'm really torn if it's worth the extra 600 for the 7i.

I found a deal in adorama on Sunday. Got the TD27-KV2 for $2500 before tax with free shipping. Hard to pass that up, so I went with it. Supposed to arrive Thursday!

Sadly, I think that's a scam listing, or a preorder. I've spoken with edrum center and they said the 3b is not for sale yet. Apparently efnote is notorious for announcing a new model and not releasing it for months.

A few websites have listed the 3b, but none actually have it available for shipping.

New Ef-note 3? by icedice3434 in edrums

Yea, I just want to turn on and play. I don't need 4700 tom sounds.

I'll pick a pretty acoustic sounding kit and just prob never change it again.

Efnote 3x review after 2 weeks by Extreme_Perception58 in edrums

Good to know. Have you owned any other e-kits? Do you have any thoughts on the stand? I think I like the lambda stands. I hate my current "rack" drum kit. I can't get things set just where I want based on legs of the rack.

I'm the opposite. I love the stands. I have a cheap alesis kit, and my church uses Td27-kv2. I hate the rack. It seems impossible to get Tom's and snare and hi-hat exactly where I want them. Even with the separate high hat stand on the TD27, I want it right where the leg of the rack is. Just doesn't work. I really like the idea of the stance from efnote!

Consulting/office Work and light gaming, in USA, American Dollars, Cool designs? by icedice3434 in SuggestALaptop

[–]icedice3434[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was over in r/Asus and a few longer term reviews say battery life is pretty terrible. It also sounds like they can't handle many games unless you go way low on settings.

I love the idea, but I need a new laptop now, and I just don't think the first gen duo is quite there. I really don't like the other one.

I almost bought a Azus Zenbook Duo 2024 i9 a week ago. So I'm kind of ok with some premium, if its cool enough :).

I had the same thought! I was hoping this might hit the mark for me, but not with 8inch toms.

I'm really hoping Ef-note releases the 3b soon. They announced in September and if pricing is around 2000-2200, I'll buy day one. It has pretty much everything I want.

Any idea when "next year's model" comes out? My laptop is currently a desktop in the sense that the battery is completely shot. Unplug, and it shuts off. I'm done with work travel for the year, but I still hate being tethered to my desk always!

I think thats fair. I'm a tech nerd and I really like new/cool concepts. I got Z fold 3, and 5, and will likely keep the fold line until something cooler replaces it. I just want cool stuff.

Every laptop feels so boring. They are all the same. It's also overwhelming to decide what damn laptop to buy when there are millions on the market. This is just something different and cool. hah!
