The sound of an electronic percussion instrument will only be as good as the sound of the amplifier to which it is attached. In order for an electronic percussion instrument to sound like acoustic drums, you will have to connect it to an amplifier that can quickly go from zero to 120 dB while producing a full-spectrum sound with no distortion. The little practice amp with 15 watts and an eight-inch speaker is not likely to produce a sound that will make you happy. The fact that the volume is adjustable on electronic percussion instruments is one of their greatest selling points. Musicians I have worked with like having the ability to choose how loud the drums are on stage.
Many drummers have problems with tinnitis.
Controlling the volume of your practice time and performances will go a long way to help prevent permanent hearing loss. The best part about owning and playing an electronic percussion instrument is that you have at your disposal hundreds of sounds to choose from. You can play several different drumsets , each with its own particular sound characteristics. You can decide to go Latin and have congas, timbales and guiros to play. You might want to experiment with classical sounds and use the timpani, concert bass drum, and piccolo snare drum sounds.
