I generally agree with Ed on using e-drums for any purpose but don't think that you can just set them up and bang away. I have found that playing in different venues, on different surfaces and stage arrangements can have adverse effects on the triggers. Take a few months to learn the control settings, gain, rejection etc. before bringing the set into live action. You will probably need to adjust the set according to the setting in which you play. You will also have an out of body experience listening to yourself through amplification in a live situation.
