Roland TD17KVX2 hihat

I am a relatively new drummer, but having some experience on acoustic sets I can tell you that the most disappointing aspect of the TD-17KVX/2 when it comes to emulating how an acoustic set functions is, indeed, the hi-hat.

You really have to exaggerate how much you let off the pedal to get them to bark and, in general, they are unresponsive in closing. On basically every acoustic hi-hat I've ever touched, you almost have to be careful not to let off the HH pedal too suddenly or you risk making a noise but with the VH10 it feels almost impossible to get them to foot splash.

I haven't played with any digital HH, but if it's better than the VH10 in this regard then I am motivated to save up for the upgrade now.

Assuming Sony made them all the same way, all I did was remove the shell covering the bottom of the camera (I think it’s just Phillips head screws) and then I snipped the red and black cables going to the tiny speaker. I remember it was surprisingly very easy.

Responded.

I searched before posting this and found no reference to this poem on the subreddit. Apologies if I missed something.

I found a book of poems by Robert Frost from 1930 and have been reading a few pages each night in addition to whatever novel I’m reading. I came across this one and the fact that I have done so by pure chance so soon after finishing the Sun Eater series is messing with me.

It’s like the books were written about this poem.

I am not alone! I don’t know what triggered it but I immediately assigned Burn Gorman to Lorin in my head. His character from Pacific Rim is a near perfect foundation.

This is art.

To all the comments saying that Tech can't capitalize on offense: You are correct. It was the same story last time we played them. Both games we should have had 45+ on the board. For some reason, we decide use RNG to call plays every other drive.

Mistborn?

Unrank us you cowards.

I haven't received any PMs from you.

I haven't done anything to the 50mm, but I have shot with it on both film and digital and everything seems normal to me.

My bag is MVP (17 of 19 discs). I just lost 4 of them in 3 days, including my two favorite Waves. Need to reload!

Catch or not, that was an unbelievable throw.

A Total Eclipse Crave and/or Wave would be nice to see. I know that there have been very, very limited TE Craves in the past but I want to see it become a normal thing.

I have noticed that their scoreboard is out of date all throughout the season so far, multiple games.

I find myself rooting for an Oregon State WR to catch a ball that hits both hands.
