I also remember hearing that Akai were involved, so I was
wondering if SDX technology was used or if the work with Akai inspired
the SDX.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I don't think AKAI inspired the SDX ...
AKAI democratised the samplers yes !
the SDX was clearly a FAIRLIGHT for percussionist & drummers but also for
producers !
As Fairlight the goal was to do the best thing available at that time ...&
the price was consequent...
AKAI was bringing the sampling affordable ...after Fairlight & Emu ...
Information is sparse, which seems a bit ungrateful to me, if
Simmons did help the guy go on to sell however many gazillion albums.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Dave probably helped him to be able to drum again ...& to come back in Def
Leppard ...
with the Huuge sound they needed !
they had the huge producer (Mutt' Lange) they needed to sell the "gazillion
" albums ....
But Rick did the fucking job to come back , & the band composed some
incredible singles... that millions of people loved.
There's no need to love them or not , but they had an incredible story !
Simmons had been a small part of it , but a solid one.
iHe probably gave them the chance to stay all together , quite an important
aspect I think, when you have to run all over the world ...
especially that they had a guitar player death to manage as well ...
anyway, hope that helps ,
Patrice.
