Rock Hard Riffs you should pin this

Thanks man

@@thelearicist you bet. Thanks for watching 🎸

[@drumstixx1976]

Is there anyway you can connect this amp to your phone through like Bluetooth and the music works through the amp?

[@RockHardRiffs]

I don't know about blue tooth, but: "Its 1/8″ MP3 input and 1/4 aux input with independent volume control allows you to mix in prerecorded backing tracks." That was copied and pasted from the Simmons website. Thanks for watching!

[@jimallodi8990]

Hi - is it possible to plug a bass into the 2nd input and play with Edrums at the same time? thanks

[@RockHardRiffs]

jim allodi yes no problem. Only one of them will have a volume control though. I’d plug the bass into the main input and edrums (should have its own volume control) into the aux input. Rock on!

[@73challenger5031]

I'm in the search for a used Simmons DA50 and found they have a new mode out. The DA50B has Bluetooth technology so, you can connect, wirelessly, with your smartphone to play backing tracks! How cool is that! Just subbed and thank you!

[@RockHardRiffs]

Hey that's great info....and thank you very much for subscribing!

[@exocodm9327]

Would this be good with the Alesis Nitro Mesh kit?

[@RockHardRiffs]

Yes, it would. You could also pair it with a DA25. Great little amps!

[@nurzrachit7133]

So if I'm understanding you correctly, you are saying that I could power my electronic drums and an auxiliary at the same time... Such as a mic? Or does it need to be done by separate monitors? Reason I ask is that I got a Da25 with an alesis nitro mesh kit and I'd like to get a mic to go along with the drumming. Thanks man, I'm totally new to all this.

[@RockHardRiffs]

The DA 25 appears to only have one input, while the DA 50 has two. One has a volume control, the other doesn't. I hope this helps!

[@subhratanusarkar8993]

Hello! Thanks for the quick overview. I have a few questions. I have a Roland TD 1k kit . How can I plug this into my kit? What cables will it require and does they come bundled? Also, can I get output from the amp speakers and from a headphone at the same time while playing? Thank you in advance!

[@RockHardRiffs]

Hi and thanks for your comment and subscribing! I have the same kit. I use a guitar cable. Guitar cables have 1/4" tip-ring-sleeve connection, which needs to be adapted down to 1/8". Just get an adapter. No cables came with the kit or amp. Maybe some stores bundle that kind of thing. The headphone out is also a 'line out' jack as well....1/8" connector. Only headphones or amp at one time....not both. I hope this helps! Rock on!

[@telecasterbear]

why wouldn't they put a direct line out, like on a bass amp?

[@RockHardRiffs]

good question

[@Zildjian36tube]

You can take direct line out from the electric drum set... If you have headphone out, And left and right out...

[@DRUMSandBUBS]

Can i use this as a subwoofer from a pa system?

[@RockHardRiffs]

You'd probably want something more like this: simmonsdrums.net/dp/da12s/ Thanks for watching!

[@DRUMSandBUBS]

@RockHardRiffs I already have a pa system (jbl) and I have this drum Amp already. Wasn't sure if I can run the Amp from the pa

[@RockHardRiffs]

@@DRUMSandBUBS having never used it that way, I’ll refrain from saying one way or another. Best of luck 🎸

[@mikerom7991]

what kind of cable should i use/would you recommend with this amp???

[@RockHardRiffs]

Michael R if you mean either a speaker or guitar cable, treat it just like an amp. Use a shielded guitar cable. Rock on!

[@ComedianOmarTarango]

How well do you think the sound would carry over in a club setting?

[@RockHardRiffs]

You would probably need to mic it my man.

[@bonidiaz3230]

Good day. Can I use this amp for my Medeli DD315 drum kit?

[@RockHardRiffs]

@Boni Diaz Howdy! I just checked and it appears to have a 1/4" headphone/output jack, so that should be fine. Use a guitar cable. www.medeli.com.hk/315 Make sure to ask someone when and if you buy it. Don't take my word for it. Rock on!

I hav 2 satalite speakers .is there splitter so i can hav 2 face me n 2face my room so other musicians here me clearer? My ms50 dr has 1 input for the 2 speakers .i need to couple my xistin 2 with 2 new ones .can i ?

[@RockHardRiffs]

I'd check with a place that sells the equipment you're speaking of. Maybe a Guitar Center or Sam Ash. Good luck with that.

Hi!! New drummer here.. does it still hold up now in 2019?

[@RockHardRiffs]

@Ivan Gonzalez hey buddy! Yes this thing still rocks out! I've been meaning to do a follow up. The little Roland drum set is great too. Thanks for subscribing. We really appreciate it!

Hey i was wondering if i could use this for street performing, i plan on playing on the strip in vegas

[@RockHardRiffs]

poop if it’s allowed...this would be ideal. The volume can be pin drop quiet to thunder! Good luck!

[@twinkieqqq]

@@RockHardRiffs thanks alot! am i able to plug a mic into this at the same time i am drumming? For a basic instrument cable?

[@RockHardRiffs]

@poop the drums use a shielded guitar cable into the amp. The mic situation you may want to experiment with. Thanks for subscribing!

[@lawrencerasmus]

I use a small subwoofer with my Korg mini so the bass drum sounds real . How low does the woofer go on this?

[@RockHardRiffs]

Lawrence Rasmus .....i guess that would be kind of subjective, but check out my "Sweet Emotion" video to hear it in action. Personally I think it sounds great....and thank you for subscribing!

[@johndef5075]

If you use mono input can you plug something like a guitar to the other stereo input?

[@RockHardRiffs]

John DeF .....great question. I'm going to give you what Simmons has to say in the owners manual about these inputs word for word: 1. drum inputs: these are 1/4" jacks (left and right). When using a mono signal, plug into the left/mono jack. 2. Aux Input: this jack is used for connecting any pre-EQ source such as a click track. The volume of the Aux Input is controlled by the Aux Volume control. from the sounds of this....I'd have to say no, but I could be wrong. If you find out differently, please let me know!

@@RockHardRiffs I use mine to practice bass guitar. Has a surprisingly good sound
