It will work, but i've heard of Vdrums blowing bass amp tweeters. I wouldnt gig with it but it would be ok for practice. Just dont expect sizzling high end on youre cymbals

yeah the cymbals and hats wont sound too good thru it

judas101 · 02-10-2006 5:42pm

I dont understand that post??? As in use the amp for vdrums gigging? No i certainly wouldnt, it would sound like muck, why not run into the PA?

judas101 · 02-10-2006 5:49pm

yeah it was unclear.:D

i'm a bass player but recently bought a set of electric drums for tinkering on.

i know i could play em thru my bass amp but dont want to risk damaging my amp which i cant affort to replace.

sorry about my poor engrish

Lol just badly phrased! dont crank the bass amp and youll be fine, what amp is it out of interest?

i know is not exactly premium model its just i could do without blowing it.

fine for gigging may i add!:D

Nah you'd want a fair few more watts for decent sound reproduction, save the amp and play through 'phones.

dang

Keep the input volume under peak and there's no chance of blowing anything. If there's a peak indicator, that's a lot easier.

I saw a guide to building yr own speaker set up for edrums a while ago. can dig it up ifn yawant.

but if you want to go and buy something and dont want to by the roland one, it is generally recomended you use a keyboard amp. better able to handle the highs and lows together.
