If you want to do justice to the frequency range of an e-drum kit, 
you've got to cover as much of the spectrum from 30hz to 18khz as 
budget and electronics will allow. You may not be able to hear all of 
the extreme bottom and top ends, but you can feel them. How much of 
this sound is audible depends on environment, your age, and the 
extent of your hearing damage. Bass can be a little tricky. Some 
designs sacrifice low end content for a punchier delivery, and some 
are able to get enough of both. Accuracy in the treble is important, 
but a little high end roll off isn't necessarily a bad thing, since a 
shrill treble can be uncomfortable. Plus, if your system's power 
isn't up to the kit's dynamic range, the amp/speaker combination will 
break up, distort, etc., regardless of the manufacturer's specs. 
Listening under the proper conditions before you buy is advised, if 
at all possible, and I realize that it isn't. That's why forums were 
born.
