Anything with less than 5 individual audio outputs should not be classified as a “professional” kit. I love Yamaha Drums…dont get me wrong, and there are many other awesome electronic drum sets out there. But it is a pet peve of mine when companies roll out with the words “Professional” or “Touring” in their literature and they are not really capable of being truly mixed by a professional sound engineer. For you new drummers out there, take it from a 29 year music veteran, when you have reached “pro” status as a drummer, you will not need a company to tell you that their equipment is for professional use. You will be able to figure that out for yourself. If you dont know the difference then you are probably not a “pro” anyway and you will not need to worry about buying a “pro” kit. All that language is just put out there to hook new drummers and sell product. The only two electronic drums sets on the market right now that I would even call “pro” grade are the (Yamaha DTXtreme Special) with 6 individual outputs, and the (Roland TD-20S) with 8 individual outputs. Anything else is just a practice kit. You will make a horse’s patooty out of yourself if you present a single track mono or stereo output from a drumset to a professional soundman for a mix.
