Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I tried to use my old 35 watt Fender Bass amp on my first gig with the 
DTXpress, and even in the small club that we were playing, it did not have 
enough sound, plus the low end came through real well but the higher end 
(hi-hat, snare) did not come through well at all. So I went out and bought 
a Roland KC-500 keyboard amp, and I have to tell you, it was like night and 
day, it really made the DTX sound great. I also have a DW kit, and I plan 
to use it for the special gigs, but for the gigs in small clubs with the 
Roland amp the DTX sounds great.

Best Regards
Michael Geldert

Michael and group,

I also have a KC-500.  I mail ordered it from a place with free shipping
(Kraft Music I think?), and it is really a wonderful piece, and a fantastic
match for this kit as well.

When i play live, i have found that using my Marshall Keyboard combo works great but also have found that patching me into the P.A system helps give a bigger, more spacious sound, plus it can be monitored accurately by the rest of the band. My Marshall really just adds to the overall sound plus it acts as my monitor.

I was going to ask you all to recommend an amp to use at small gigs.  Don't
Yamaha produce a dedicated amp/monitor for their DTX range like Roland do
for their V-Drums with the PM-3 monitor?  Has anyone used a PM-3 monitor
with their DTXpress kit and if so, is it suitable for small gigs?

Regards
Phil

I tried a KC-100 for use with my acoustic guitar as well as the dtx 
and it wasn't powerful enough for my taste, so I took it back and 
moved up to the KC-300.
