Members alan22153 Posted February 15, 2007 Members Share Posted February 15, 2007 I'm looking to get a relatively simple Roland or Yamaha electronic drum set. How would that sound through a Peavey XR-600 with PR-12's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GCDEF Posted February 15, 2007 Members Share Posted February 15, 2007 Probably light in the bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alan22153 Posted February 15, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 15, 2007 Thanks. Perhaps it would be time to add a subwoofer. I notice that they sell monitors specifically for using with electronic drums. I'd always perfer to run through the PA.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members twostone Posted February 16, 2007 Members Share Posted February 16, 2007 Go with the PR15's plenty of low end our fly by night set up is 2 PR15 tops w/stands and 2 PR15 subs dead center stage powered by a Crown amp and 2 Peavey powered monitors. A set of Roland V drums and a Line 6 Guitar Pod and my small bass cab and 2 mics and we set up in less then 30 mins. and same for load out. Even without the subs the PR15's sound decent enough for the Roland's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TuMadre Posted February 16, 2007 Members Share Posted February 16, 2007 You can pick up an old Peavey KB-300 pretty cheap on fleabay. It is one of their old keyboard amps (15" bass and horn drivers for full range sound). This powered cab will give you great low end for your kick and plenty of highs for your cymbals. I've been using one of these for years with my Roland kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Balladeer Posted February 19, 2007 Members Share Posted February 19, 2007 Dunno what they're like to play, but the low-end Roland kit sounds way better than its rivals to my ears. -Simon- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slapjaw Posted February 25, 2007 Members Share Posted February 25, 2007 We've been using the yamaha DTXpress 2 for a couple of years in the studio, and haven't had any problems with them. Power right into the PA. My drummer has to problem getting them to sound pretty good. You can pick up a set of the Yamahas for about $900.00. Not as good as an acoustic set, but man you can control the volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
