So I was thinking a small mixer with a few inputs so I can plug in the GT8, electronic drum kit and a couple o' mics... could I conceivably run that into a normal hi fi to mess around with?
Small mixer OK. Hi-fi, not so much - particularly with drums. PA speakers are designed to take punishment. Hi-fi speakers and amps tend to blow unless the volume is kept really low.
Look at powered PA speakers - many have more than one input and some even have mini mixers built in. As you scale up, you can just add in a bigger mixer. If you're putting drums through, you'll need at least 12" woofers and preferably 15".
