Howdy Giame,
I do alot of gigs both big and small, obviously with your big shows
you'll have your very own monitor send which will sound massive!
For smaller shows a powered wedge/monitor is the best, I actually
have an 8 DI unit in my rack and that can double as a line mixer
which means I just plug in powered monitor and can mix my own
foldback.
I'd go for a 12" speaker at very least, you'll need something to
handle the bottom end of you kick and toms.
If I'm using a speaker like this I think it's best to put it on your
floor tom side facing at your head, you'll feel the "Thump" from
your kick drum then!
Cheers,
Matt.
