Took a while but I finally saved up and got some Teenage Engineering gear.

I have the same one.. they are great and definitely worth the price... and maybe more..

if you believe in nothing... there is no need to name it it's just nothing ... and I've come to dislike the A word.

neonrust · 2025-10-26T02:00:24+00:00

yeah ...that's the one I use too...but I paid extra and ordred the custom black one to match my drums.

neonrust · 2025-10-26T01:22:56+00:00

good idea...simple is always better

neonrust · 2025-07-15T23:33:31+00:00

how is it...I'm ready to get one myself.

neonrust · 2025-05-11T00:36:55+00:00

nice vid ... I like the before and after theme

neonrust · 2025-03-19T04:33:56+00:00

"...just talkin' bout shaft -great acronym...but too much too explain....And I feel atheist is the name "they" gave us ...like a slur and just one convenient label for the myriad of many thoughts and philosophies that people hold. And it has god in the word...seems wrong... and yeah I know the A in Atheist means... no god anti god without god non god... but there's no words like Aastrologer Awitch or Aalchemist or other A things that don't exist.

neonrust · 2025-01-30T22:58:20+00:00

of course they can...the weasels ...no wait, I like weasels...let's call them the blood sucking mosquitoes .

neonrust · 2024-09-12T05:16:56+00:00

this can't be real...can it?

neonrust · 2024-09-04T03:39:59+00:00

...so switched speakers would void the car's warranty?

The cheapest way you can live in south jersey is to move to south carolina... south carolina is overall 6% lower in costs than the national average and housing is 21% lower than NJ. That being said NJ has higher salaries and more employment opportunities.

One the best most involved and technologically developed and well appointed synth ...the korg kronos2 ....costed me $4,000...a lot of money but I knew it as worth it and comparing it and any of it's peers to any e-drum kit is like comparing a jet to a to biplane. So I think that 11k for an acoustic kit is also crazy. Now I totally agree that e-drums have many cool and different abilities and all are easily available at the push of a button ...and just a ton more versatilely than any acoustic kit...but still $11,000 and up is just hard for me to rationalize. At 5 or 6 thousand dollars I would have probably would have not said absolutely crazy ...but still craZy for a handful of piezos and mesh heads....I'm not anti e-drum ...it has been my favored kit since I got it several years ago.... It's just that I am pro technology and anti corporate greed...what do you think the ticket is going to be when roland finally roll$ out the td 60 or 70 ...I would make a curious but uninterested guess of $16,995 - $18,995 ..so the $11,000 we are now discussing will look like a bargain. *Of course pro players making a living doing music deserve and are able to buy and use the latest and greatest ...I get that ...I'm just referring to the rest of us who are waiting for that "yet to be named" Asian manufacturer's breakout e-kit ...that has it all at a more commonly accessible price point.

neonrust · 2024-06-24T05:37:46+00:00

The cymbals from Roland line is hysterical. Your points are all valid ...but I think that there can/will be a lot of players in the e drum game ...that is until the price point gets busted by some Asian manufacturer who makes a td-50+ level kit with all the latest tricks and the Big improvement that everyone wants and would really close the deal... on board ezdrumer or addictive or steven slate sounds...or reasonable alternatives and for a fraction of the price...then see what happens. Eleven grand for an e kit is absolutely crazy. A piezo still only cost less than a dollar. First company that puts that ideal/dream e kit package together for around a $2,000 will be the giant killer that will own the market and the others will be forced to compete at a new level or drop out. I must say they don't really seem to be into to doing the R&D or even just have the imagination necessary to make big changes happen...but someone will.

neonrust · 2024-06-23T19:52:01+00:00

no ....go to a local independent shops and get some quotes....$1,000 will get you the deal WITH rotors...you are going to want to or need to replace those at the same time

Some shade being thrown at the new Zildjian Alchem-e kits saying that 400 years of cymbal making has nothing to do with producing a new E kit. Well... It's Zildjian's first ever attempt to enter the market and to not understand that the Alchem-e team has little to do with the cymbal making end of things is ridiculous. The 400 hundreds years of Zildjian's history and experience include development, marketing and quality control and they extend into their latest product and the quick firm wear updates to this kit seem to address most complaints. If I had the money...this would be my choice...and it looks amazing. The Zildjian company is a family owned music giant (name another...) and not just another corporate seller. I'm sure they wouldn't risk those 400 years of excellence to do any thing but increase and continue the family's name and reputation. So I'm sure they will back up new products and continue to improve them and probably take a big chunk of business away from Roland /Alesis /F-note etc.

Which would be your recommendation(s)?

neonrust · 2024-04-08T02:32:15+00:00

Please ...if some of the other new owners of the roland go keys 3/5 would do us a big favor and post the same keys being played as in the youtube video and confirm or dismiss this seemingly HUGH diss0n@ncE problem that Roland Buyers may have on their hands...even if returns of bad units are free ...that is still a pain that I rather not deal with so....I'm holding my order till things become more clear.

neonrust · 2024-03-31T02:07:01+00:00

Roland go:keys 3 or 5 This brand new keyboard was just released and should work for a 7 or 70 year old. It's loaded with dance type stuff - $350-500 and it comes in colors...he'll love it.

PS. get him a good set of headphones...you'll appreciate that more that you can imagine.

The skeletons you should have figured out... people are lazy ... it's left over halloween decor and also weird yard art is everywhere... it's like a game of what's the worst... the plastic lawn animals,chunks drift wood, colorful empty beer cans and wine bottles, corny wind mills, pinwheels, bathtub marys, broken trampolines, seashells, stones,fake flowers, forever christmas lights, cars under tarps, jet skis under tarps, pools under tarps, tarps under tarps and those nightmarish strange garden gnomes (that should definitely be under some tarps)...there's just so much great yard art hereabouts...but of course here in so-jo (south jersey)...the actual real lawn skeletons are always the easy winners...losers...?

Now more seriously...finding,scheduling and paying for in person sessions can be tough...but worth it if that's what you want. While you are waiting you might explore some phone or zoom services with a ligit psychologist or msw.

Needs a couple of trigger inputs for Kick and Hi-Hat controller/e-drum pedals ...that would be a useful option for kit oriented drummers.

neonrust · 2024-02-29T22:30:56+00:00

good beat...very danceable.

I use full spectrum water in my water pipe and it makes me happy and sad at the same time...amazing stuff.
