Advise On Amp Please

[Ricky Rosario]

I'm buying this package soon:

However, the bundle comes with the following:

Yamaha MS40-DR Electronic Drum Personal Monitor System ($299.99)

I can get the following Roland for cheaper and it has a ton more reviews It is also cheaper:

Should I go for the Yamaha designed for the 562k e-drums, or should I go with the Roland Cube Monitor with more positive reviews and more money?

Thanks a million!!

PS: I get a free PCY90AT 10" Cymbal Pad with Attachment Arm with the Yamaha:

Someone recommended this one over the other two, but it doesn't come with the free Yamaha PCY90AT 10" Cymbal Pad:

Thanks again gents.

Some of your links are broken in your original post, so I wasn't able to look at all that you are considering ... especially since you didn't give a description for each.

In regards to the  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004AAH1TO/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004AAH1TO&linkCode=as2&tag=drummercafe-20&linkId=4QT2UKUIH4AUBSWR]Yamaha MS40-DR Electronic Drum Personal Monitor System , it's available on Amazon for $269.

I would personally go with the  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018TESAK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0018TESAK&linkCode=as2&tag=drummercafe-20&linkId=TOHB4QSL4M4YB3CL]Simmons DA200S Electronic Drum Set Monitor  simply because it is all-in-one, making it easier to cart around (despite the almost 60lbs weight), and has a higher wattage amp ... 100-watt low-frequency amp with two 50-watt mid- and high-frequency amps ... meaning cleaner sound (less distortion) with increased volumes. Cost is $320 on Amazon.

With the money you save, you can purchase the  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BYQALXK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00BYQALXK&linkCode=as2&tag=drummercafe-20&linkId=P2XMBANT6PHHVDQT]Yamaha PCY90AT 10" Cymbal Pad , only $100 from Amazon.

Keep in mind that the "free" stuff isn't always free ... the package is priced in such a way that you are paying something for the "freebie".

P.S. You can support the Drummer Cafe by making your Amazon purchases using our Amazon search feature (<------ see on the left), and it doesn't cost you an extra dime!

I'll probably just go with the Simmons.

I would go with the Simmons amp. It's going to be worth the extra money.
