Title: E-Drums amp/monitor recommendations
Post by: John Kimble on February 11, 2026, 06:18:40 PM
Folks, got the young lad an Alessis Nitro e-kit for Xmas as below

Tbh, I'm getting more use out of it than him! However, id like to get the drum sound out of a speaker rather than through headphones.  Alessis do their own one which is quite small and mounted on the frame, some of the reviews suggest the sound is a bit weedy and im looking for something with a bit more punch. Completely clueless about this stuff. Not looking to break the bank either.
Any recommendations?

Since it has a headphone output, you could connect it to a hi-fi (or any regular audio player) with a RCA->1/4" cable. You don't need anything too specialised, beyond that.
