Well trust me this baby when plugged into an amp is very loud!
My dad was here tonight and I gave him a demo.... um I played More Than a Feeling by Boston on it... it was funny everytime I hit the bass drum pedal the cats scattered everywhere.
On a side note,this unit doesn't replicate everything an acoustic set can do, the snare and hi hat kinda suck on the electric set, can't really do all the fancy stick work. Next year I'm getting an acoustic set.
Already have the go ahead from the landlord
btw she's a musician as well
