Is the Roland V-Drum monitor system worth the money? I don't know what a comparable ssystem would cost. I just figured if I was going to spend that much I could get something bigger and more powerful. I may be wrong. Someone please enlighten me.

Yes, your right, the PM3 is a toy compared to other systems costing the same. I owned the PM3 and it sounded OK but could not hold its own when playing on stage or even at rehearsal. If all you want is a personal monitor and I do mean PERSONAL, than the PM3 will work in LOW volume situations, but if you expect your band mates to hear you as well, your going to have to use something a little more robust. Oh and also the little tweeters in the PM3 are good for only one gig and then you have to replace them. Very poor quality. Interesting enough, there are folks who live in Australia that praise the PM3. I think the units that Roland ships down there are perhaps better quality than the ones in North America.
That should shake some leaves....
Good Luck!

Go to the <a href="http://www.vdrums.com/ubbbin/search.cgi?action=intro">search form</a> and try the keywords "JBL", "Mackie", and "PM-3".
Roland TD-20 v1.08, various v-drums and v-cymbals, Yamaha KP65's, Axis pedals, Gibraltar hardware, Mackie 1202/SRM450 (pre-china)

On another note, yes the PM-3 is a personal monitor system (including being able to fold-back everybody else in your band from the main desk!). Let your band mates get their own monitors.

Have just been through the same as you, and with support from the guys hear I have gone for the JBL G2 EON, the sound is great and as a monitor its fine.
I may go for two JBL's in time but first its some v-cymbals, and a bbe 482

, plenty of , and , , triggered acoustics, , and a plethora of PA blah blah freakin blah...I mean does anyone care about the specifics of pedals, speakers, processors, hardware or anything that I'm using?? :confused: Hmmm, maybe this is an appropriate place to mention that I tried out a new cymbal stand the other day...
