Yes, you'll need a mixer, or at least a multi-channel keyboard amp like 
the Behringer KX1200. The mixer will give you more flexibility as to 
custom-tailoring a system according to your needs, but you'd still need 
power amps and speakers if you want anyone else other than you to hear 
your drumming prowess, the amp on the other hand gives you a nice 
all-in-one system.
