Hi!
I hope I can get some help from your experience in the following case:
In order to play an acoustic drum and hear the playalong/other band members, I'm wondering what's the best system between a monitor, a speaker and a headphone or something similar.
I'd really prefer a system that other people can also her the playalongs while playing.

Thanks for your help

I dont have an acoustic kit anymore because of the type of stuff I do now.. but I have two Mackie Monitors facing me so I can hear and then I have two Kustom floor wedge monitors plus my actual drum amp that is facing out to everyone else so the can hear..

Thanks for your answer!
What do you think is the best choice between Behringer F1220A Monitor 125 Watt and dB Technologies Basic 100 10"/1" Active Box, 70+20W RMS.
I want a speaker that I can connect to a laptop, start a playalong and I can hear the song and people that are in the reaharsal room can also hear the song.
Help me please!

Behringer is always a good choice for the money - I have used their mixerboards and monitors at several different places, and they worked just fine. . .

Behringer is by far where you get the most (bells and whistles) for your buck..There stuff is fantastic for the home, studio, or light duty stuff..If you have roadies that throw your stuff from one end of the truck to the other and spill bear on it and pull out all the cords from 20 ft. away or you Gig 7 nights a week.. then its possible Behringer wont last as long as some other brands..
