It depends on a few things.

What size speakers in your PA? How many watts? What else is going through it? If it is big enough, the PA is a better choice. If the keyboard amp is doing nothing else, and you don't need to be very loud, it should suffice.

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

As far as PA goes, if it can handle playing a CD through it at the volume you're looking for, it'll handle drums just fine

well I dont have a PA system and looking at them it would cost alot more to get a decent PA system so unless you guys think a keyboard amp wouldnt work well that looks like the route I will go.

and thanks for your help everyone im glad I found this site or I would just be guessing when it comes to things like this.

also if anyone is wondering id be using it with these Buy Alesis DM5 Pro Electronic Drum Kit online at Musician's Friend

Not necessarily so. Electronic drums are WAY more dymanic than any CD which are compressed to death.

A Keyboard amp with at least a 15" woofer should work fine! The more watts the better!

ok thanks alot pops that is what I was aiming for.

So this looks like it should meet my needs
MUSICAL INSTRUMENT AMPLIFICATION - KEYBOARD AMPLIFICATION - KEYBOARD AMP/PA SYSTEM KX1200 : 120-Watt 4-Channel Combo Amp with Mic Input and DI Out

or possibly this
MUSICAL INSTRUMENT AMPLIFICATION - KEYBOARD AMPLIFICATION - ULTRATONE K900FX : Ultra-Flexible 90-Watt 3-Channel PA System / Keyboard Amplifier with FX and FBQ Feedback Detection

That first one would work fine. Just don't try to keep up with a full stack with that!

lol no way a 75 watt randall g3 is the biggest amp the guys I jam with have so I would be fine plus they dont even turn it up all the way but this way IF we ever play a small show this should suffice or I can plug into a pa if one is available this could also double as a keyboard amp. I just keep spending money on different kinds of instruments first the 6 string brice then the drums now this. All I need now is a key board and I can be my own band.

and i apologise if this hard to read ive been drinking a bit so its a bit hard to concentrate.
