HI & welcome guybrush !

What I can hear from the Single "Invisible Touch" is definitely an SDS7 !
it sounds more dry than an SDSV ...
& maybe the SDSV for the white noise ...

On the "wembley" gig from 86, if you have some good eyes, you can see two SDS7's brains on stage + one SDSV with pads (close to Phil's Grestch acoustic drums...)

The drummer is trigging an SDS7 from the acoustc drums (probably via an MTM ), & Phil is have an SDS7 & pads close to Tony Banks keyboards set.

sorry never heard the SDS9 with Phil's Colins( from what I know ....) , but the 9 can sound close to the V sometimes.... so ...

Domino is a mixing of SDS7 ( reverse cymbals ) & SDSV (tomtom fill & some, symbals too)...

Get the Wembley DVD it becomes clear !
Bye,
Patrice..

Howdy from Austin, TX USA!

Just joined the group and finished browsing the archives. Somehow
with all the google'ing I've done on Simmons drums, I never found this
group until just now.

I'm a organ/piano/synth player, but I've got a sense of rhythm and can
imitate well enough to justify buying a little drum gear. So far I've
landed a 5 piece SDS9 set in red and the usual 5-module SDSV. I
wouldn't mind getting another SDSV for more modules and/or parts. As
far as other gear, I've got most of the rooms here stuffed with combo
organs, synths, electric pianos, spinet organs, etc. As far as drum
machines, I use a Roland CR-78 and a Linndrum.

Anyway, two questions to start off with here:

1) What brain was used on "Invisible Touch" (the song, not the
album)? I want to say SDSV, but I can't seem to get the settings just
right yet

2) Anyone able to scan/upload SDSV manual and/or schematics? I
actually bought some for $15 from schematicconnection.com .. but the
guy is apparently having hip surgery and the order has been delayed by
over a month (torture!!)

Talk to you all soon ..

guybrush
