I can only presume you are listening to demos through your pc speakers or a poor quality PA. I am a sound engineer and absolutely the Ketron on board drums are the only ones on the planet (of the current crop of arrangers) that sound any where near as good as a well mic'd up drum kit.

Ketron equipment can't be used with normal keyboard amps or lowend pa, you have to use HiFi quality gear, if a CD player sounds correct through a PA then so will a Ketron.

And if the drums are too much in the mix then its almost certain you are using low quality speakers or amplifier. To test it, play any current CD that has a live drummer. You will find you hear the drums and vocals louder on poor quality gear and you miss definition on bass and pad sounds. And if its still too much when your playing a Ketron, then just turn them down, every Ketron keyboard ever made has quick access volume controls.
