Can you use an electric drum set amp for an electric guitar?

Answer 1

Yes, I have an electric kit that I plug into my little Fender amp and it works alright. I sometimes use that when I practice and don't want to use the headphones. I wouldn't want to use it on a major gig though.

Roland makes some good e-drum kit amps and I'm sure a Google search would let you find others.

Answer 2

You only need an amp if you would like to play with other musicians so you drums can be heard. You won't need an amp if playing by yourself because you can plug earphones into the module.

An mp3 player can also be plugged into an electric drum kits module which enables you to hear both your drums and the the music from the mp3 player to drum along with.

Answer 3

Yes. You can use any amp you like, as long as you dont cput the volume too high as it might not be able to handle the low frequencies and cause it to internally cook. (you will smell burning rubber if this occurs)

Answer 4

Assuming you are using an electronic drum kit, then yes. Any instrument with the appropriate fittings and signal output is compatible with any amplifier, even if you are using a regular drum kit with correct signal pickups installed, but generally this idea is only used for performances in large venues.

Answer 5

Rhythm and lead are just styles of playing the same instrument. You can use an Electric Guitar amp to play either style.

Answer 6

Yes, but don't turn it up too high. You run the risk of blowing your amp. It's much like running a bass through a guitar amp.
