no hatred my friend.... the joking isn't intended at you personally.
I hope you enjoy your drums. My first set was Cosmic Percussion - which is about the same as Aspires.

But I'm a sax player and I didn't know what to buy, I just wanted some congas.
I didn't ask anyones opinion because I didn't know a single other conga player to ask.
I've learned a lot since finding this forum - the people here are sincere and would never steer you wrong.
The drums you want to buy are your own business, however - if you post on an internet forum with hundreds of professional players and ask for help, you are going to get your chops busted a bit about it. Especially when asking for advice and many pros here offered it to you and you ignored it. It's your right to do so but now you're going to get some opinions.
