Here they go again!

Saw it today in a GC store.
Looks better than their previous cheap Chinese kits but still not a
REAL Simmons kit.
Check out the hex shape on the back of the pads, though ;)

Gotta say the sound module looks pretty cool, with big display, USB and
memory card slot.

Didn't have time to check all the preset kits; seems they got some
decent 'vintage Simmons' sounds in there too.

At a thousand bucks for the whole set, I wonder how much they'll put a
dent in Roland's market.
