Topic starter  

so my roommate at college has just gotten his drumset to our house, im aware i need to upgrade my amp but this was a little to soon for me. i have the line 6 spyder 15 watt which i have been very happy with, but i think i need something bigger if im playing with a drummer. money is sorta tight i have a guitar i dont use i can trade into a pawn shop and if the opportunity presents itself maybe the line 6 as well. What size amp would be acceptable to play with a drummer?....do i have any other options? donations lol?

For practice, or for gigging?
For practice, just angle your existing amp's speaker a bit, so it's aiming at your ears, not your knees.
Maybe set it up on a stand. Should be plenty loud.
If for Gigging, might you be able to mic your amp and run it thru the PA?

Of course, don't let me stop you from getting a new amp. That's never a bad thing to do :wink:
