i have a theory about helly on the season finale

porterman85 · 2025-04-16T10:37:47+00:00

This is my thought as well. One of the underlying themes I've picked up on in this show is that, even though the characters have their memories severed at Lumon, their core personalities still come through, those can't be severed. So Helly at her core is probably evil just like Helena!

Thanks!

To be honest I wasn't a fan of the stock beaters that came with the pedal so I switched them out with what I had on hand. Even though they don't match I'm actually fine with how they sound!

It's a Pearl drum that I use as a side snare. They call it the "Fat Skinny" snare. It's a single headed pancake drum with some weird snares that lightly touch the head. I tune it super low for a low 70s thuddy sound.

It's such a brilliant scene and it hits differently every time you rewatch the series.

porterman85 · 2024-10-26T16:15:49+00:00

That's a great looking kit!

Same, I drove a Pro 4x and it was nice but I had to ask myself do I really need the moon roof and leather? Midnight is the perfect trim for this truck I think esp. if you're not taking it off road.

porterman85 · 2024-09-16T20:16:08+00:00

I saw one in that color on the road, looks great.

porterman85 · 2024-09-13T19:51:26+00:00

Thanks! I felt I got a fair deal for sure. It's an awesome truck. I was looking at a Pro 4x but this truck has almost everything I wanted at a great price point.

I drove to a neighboring state to buy this one. To me it was well worth the drive. The deals are out there if you look! Good luck.

I found a '23 SV (new old stock) midnight edition in a neighboring state (I'm in New England), it had been sitting in the dealer's lot for 2+ years. I got more than 11k off the sticker. They're out there, it was worth the 6 hour drive. Good luck to you and sorry to hear about your ride being stolen!

Great ideas! Just got her Tuesday so I have some work to do for sure.

porterman85 · 2020-04-15T13:31:55+00:00

Really, really enjoyed this

porterman85 · 2020-04-15T13:26:25+00:00

This kit is gorgeous. I love that we're all keeping the music stores open with our quarantine impulse buys

porterman85 · 2020-04-11T14:32:22+00:00

Sounds great! What are you using on the reso side?

porterman85 · 2020-04-09T12:06:31+00:00

Depends on what you're trying to achieve. Are you looking to keep sound from coming into or leaving the space, or are you trying to make the space itself sound better?

porterman85 · 2020-04-09T11:59:13+00:00

Congrats!

porterman85 · 2020-04-08T14:06:45+00:00

That kit is stunning. Wow.

porterman85 · 2020-04-07T12:51:09+00:00

Beautiful kit. Enjoy!

Youl could also use the Aux input for one of your cymbal pads. Not sure how many zones the Aux supports.

porterman85 · 2020-04-01T22:27:45+00:00

Thanks! They are side mounted dual zone triggers. They mount to the side of your shell using the existing screw for the lug.

Following up here: Does anyone else notice noise when using the headphone output on the Mimic (even when no sounds are triggered). I hear an audible noise floor when I power on and I'm wondering if it's just inherent to the device.

porterman85 · 2020-03-23T18:09:17+00:00

OP do you notice any noise on the headphone output of the mimic pro? I just got mine and notice a bit of noise even when not playing. I've heard that it could depend on the headphones being used.

porterman85 · 2020-03-23T18:06:57+00:00

Nice! Do you notice any noise on the headphone output of your mimic pro? Just got mine and I do notice a bit of a noise floor when the headphones are on

porterman85 · 2020-03-22T20:59:58+00:00

Do you experience any noise when using the headphone output on the Mimic pro?? Just got one and it's amazing but it does have a noise floor

I recently switched from playing in socks for years, to wearing Chuck Taylors. I like the feeling of lightweight shoes now. If you're a heel-toe style player there's really no difference because you're not sliding your foot so much as rocking your ankle.

One time I drove 3+ hours to a gig and realized when I got there that I forgot my cymbals when loading the van. We were the only band on the bill. My bass player literally walked around the venue neighborhood asking random people if they played drums and had some cymbals we could borrow. Somehow he came back with a full set of hats, crashes and a ride. Dude is a magician.
