Thanks, I value your opinion and I may just do that. I do have
that option for 30 days.

Ken,
I'm going to second Vern and Steph. Forgetting power, headroom,
design, and other considerations for the moment. Bass amps produce
only a fraction of the frequencies that an e-drum is capable reaching
because bass guitars don't need them. Forgive me if I sound pedantic,
but you may think that the amp is doing an adequate job only because
you have no basis for comparison. I don't know how many times I
reached a certain fairly lofty plateau in audio, thinking that the
sound couldn't possibly get any better only to find out that I was
wrong; you have barely scratched the surface with a 60 watt bass amp
connected to an electronic drumkit. If the store where you bought the
amp is so accommodating, ask if they'll let you take home a modestly
powered keyboard amp, like the Roland KC550 or its equivalent, to
hear what you might be missing. If your ears don't register a
difference, or enough of a difference, to justify all the crowing
that we've done, more power to you.
