SDS-V anyday!!! The digital crunch of the SDS-7 and the likes are cool, but
the V is punchier!

AFAIK the 7 is all digital with sounds on prom. (I have the manual.) SDS-V
is all digital apart from cymbal and hihat which is prom based... SDS-V
kicks ass and is only rivaled by my Pearl Syncussion SY-1.
For crunchy Simmons I use two SDS-1, basically the same design as the 7 but
cheaper and cooler looking! =)
