Absolutely, the key is to make sure you are really using an unpowered mixer and that the signal level is correct for the power speakers (usually XLR will do fine).

Can I run a mixer through my powered mixer for drum mics?
Yes. In fact, I would recommend doing this instead of just running the mics through your band's powered mixer. That way, all your drum sounds (pre-mixed) will fit into just one input on your band's powered mixer. It takes about a minimum of 6 or 7 mics to capture a drum kit properly and that's a hell of a lot of inputs to be using on your band's P.A. Just run the mics through your own mixer, then run your mixer's "Main 1" output to your band's P.A. input. Use a balanced cable. Also, if the mixer that you are using is unpowered, then get yourself a couple powered monitors to run directly off of it so you can have some monitoring without using one of the the P.A. monitors. If your drum mixer IS powered, however, just get yourself some speakers and you've got yourself some monitors. In a nutshell, I recommend getting a small powered mixer for your drum mics (something with 100W minimum) with unpowered monitors running right off of it (use the "Main 2" output). Connect the mixer's "Main 1" output to your band's P.A. system for the final mix. But remember, if you do it like this, you have to dial in a good mix on your drum mics through your own little mixer because the sound guy will only be able to adjust the volume of the drum kit AS A WHOLE through the main P.A. system. This is what I do and it works very well.

What output do you plug a monitor into on a mixer if the mixer has main mix outputs plus separate control room output phones output and stereo tape outputs?
If this is the only speaker you are using, use the Main Mix outputs. The stereo tape outputs will not be controlled by the Main Mix fader/knob. If you are using main speakers plus an additional monitor, use an auxiliary send on the mixer to allow the creation of an independent monitor mix.

Are there speakers in dj mixers or do you have to by a regular speaker and attach it?
A DJ mixer is used to mix audio sources together in to a single output. Typically the inputs are CD players, Ipods, Turntables and a microphone. The output of the mixer is low voltage and requires amplification by a separate power amplifer which in turn drives the external speakers. Because of the high volume levels and peaks (transients) regular domestic "HiFi" speakers aren't built strongly enough to last long. You will require either "Disco" or DJ speakers of PA (band) grade speakers.
