If you want to play live with Edrums you have to have your own PA and speakers that are seperate to the FOH system. These speakers are setup either side of your kit and you need at least 500watts of power. I user 800Watts and use either 2 or 4 15" speaker bins depending on the size of the gig. This way the band can hear you as they would an acoustic kit.
Secondly don't try to use a monitor, I use a small Alto mixer that is about the same size as a TD-6 module that I have mounted on a roland clamp, my module goes throught that first before going to the amp and from the mixer I can plug in a set of open headphones (not the closed type). I can also feed in from the FOH amp a foldback mix so I can hear the vocals, once you get the right mix its absolutely perfect. The open headphones allow you to hear the guitar and bass and through the headphones you hear your drums and the vocals etc. There's nothing worse than not being able to hear yourself play and this can happen with Edrums when you try to use a small stage monitor. Unfortunately the PA etc is going to cost you as much as your Edrums did. And you thought playing with Edrums was going to mean less lugging. Nup!, but I haven't played with one muso yet who wanted me to go back to the acoustic kit. Ha. But where the hell do I get a Vdrum t-shirt.
