Is it possible to use an amplifier normally used for an electric guitar, for an electric drum kit?

I have an electric Yamaha drum kit, and I want to find out if I can use an amplifier used for an electric guitar on my drum kit instead. Yes, you can, but depending on how your amp is wired, you may want to be careful of which impedance input you use. Most line level devices are at a +4 level. I have a set of V-Drums that I use through a guitar cab, and the only complaint I have is that you will only be able to use one chanel as an output, resulting in mono sound. If you have any panning effects on your drums, you will not be able to hear them properly. Take care to ensure that your cymbals and toms are not panned across the stereo field, or you will lose the ones assigned to the output you are not using. Hope this helps!
