Welcome again and congrat's to a great set!

Many spurs have gone missing over the years and they seldom surface
again. Some have made their own and I bet one or two guys here can tell
you more about that.
A keyboard amp should work great for your purposes. I run my e-drumgear
through a bass amp when not using headphones.

I use a Roland PM30 for monitoring, and I would highly recommend it for practice. Unlike what you would get with a keyboard amp, it has two satellite speakers that mount to the drum rack, so you have a sense of the sound coming from the pads, and of a stereo image. It has a little mixer built-in so you can send a mix, cd/mp3 player, synth, etc through as well. It doesn't get loud enough to play gigs through, but for practice it's perfect.

If you use real cymbals maybe a bass amp would be ok, but my experiments with bass amps were very disappointing for a whole kit. What makes a bass guitar sound good won't necessarily work well with hihats...

all my best,

a mixer with a good headphone output would work for silent-ish practice, you'd save on buying speakers and amps.

try Wolfgang at simmons museum.
