I'm playing my kit through a Peavey KB2 keyboard amp in a
converted bedroom and it puts all the oomph I will ever want. Don't know what it
would ever sound like playing with a group though. I've only got the volume
turned up to the halfway point and it's plenty loud. I tried it at a higher
setting and am close to needing ear plugs. I would recommend this
amp.

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.
