Ion audio its like a dream

I recently about a couple months ago got into drumming I figure i get my feet wet in percussion being of that of have originally starting out in melodic instruments at the age 12 i started piano and at age 17 i got in to electric guitar.but i always had interest in drums even before the piano but never was giving an opportunity as a child.Realizing that i purchased a fairly descent Coda drum set from a guy off craigslist cymbals were worn but but in great condition brought it for 150 bucks and some mute pads so i can play quietly in my room which i live in a apartment with my mother.Apparently mute pads don't work if people have sensitive or sonar hearing cause I constantly got complaints from not just my mom but neighbors as well,it had only been 2 days within having the set and being a drummer and no way was i going to stop with always being fidgety my whole life with the tapping of my foot,pens,my hand and other objects dwelling around me my whole life i have found a perfect outlet it was like i was born for drumming it was as if my whole life all the tapping and fidgeting was in preparation for this moment i wasn't giving up.I began searching for places were i could play but unfortunately this isn't the old days ,like what the old timers were bred in ,were you could play in some old warehouse or talk a good bunch to ol Mr.Robinson up the street to play in his garage ,I begin feasting my eyes upon storage spaces it was the only option luckily were i live there are bunch ,and one gave me an offer i went there and the space for my price range was dark, musty, dank and riddled with mosquito's very large prehistoric sized mosquitos.But b.f.t.l.o.m (but for the love of music)I would comply with the conditions.Later on i did the math and found myself seeing 60 bucks a month add up over a year it was unreasonable what was i to do luckly my mom told me about these electric drums she saw on the internet for 150$,Now many of us have a great knowledge of electronic instuments and the whole debate with them but drums is pretty much the breaking point i use to believe that if a electronic drumset was to be used by experience professional musicians the price would be over 1000$ and the name would be roland($).I was desperate for a rhythm relief and looked at the website they looked of that of another planet alein like very sleek almost robotic appearing and the pads put me in mind of the faces of the robots in Irobot and at the top of the screen it said ION AUDIO and explained the features computer software ,works with vista bingo!velocity sensitive pads and ordered the unusaul contraption .But little that i knew that the company that was making medical equipment would have in store for me days later and to this day im satisfied i recommend to budget buyers with cranky neighbors.
