Roland has a reputation for making very high quality products. They also have a reputation for being pricey. If you can afford a Roland keyboard amp you won't be disapointed in how it sounds. But there are other great brands out there. My advice is buy with your ears. If an amp sounds good buy it. Too many people buy on brand name alone. I have heard some pretty crappy Guild guitars and seen people struggle to keep their "name brand" guitar in tune. Take some time and try out the amps. A good music store should let you plug in different amps to their display drumsets. I bought my Roland amp after trying it out at a Guitar Center. Later when I listened through other amps it was not the same. I had for a while a 100 watt Peavey Ecoustic Guitar amp with a 12" speaker which just didn't cut it for bass drum sounds. The Roland KC-500 made me happy.
