thomson twins portakit went on ebay auctions a while back nice but i could not think i'd use it so idid'nt bid
spandau ballet used a twin bass white sds v (i assume given the time) for a while
in fact any body young beautiful and poppy on the uk's top of the pops in the early 80's used a simmons to mime with
& more obscure perhaps
alex van halen of van halen circa 1984-85 on tour with maybe 10 simmons toms well hidden behind behind ocataban and lots of bass drums soloing on hot for teacher got that on bootleg from my walkman
also the percussion chap with nik kershaw who went on to session with pink floyd - don't know his name but he jumped around a lot and had pads in a huge cage set up but the drummer from nik kershaw went to all about eve and lived not too far from me when i was a kid
gil gilson from squeeze and jools holland had a sdx (which i now have) and a sds7 which was dead when i last saw it and both were giggged live
bill bruford was a big simmons user till pretty recent times ( although i'm sure this has been raised before)
god i miss the 80's

ali score of a flock of seagulls used a killer white on white sdsv
kit on tour in 1983 ... i couldn't take my eyes off of it ... new
order & the thompson twins used both simmons drums and the simmons
portakit ... david robinson of the cars used an sds7 kit on their
heartbeat city tour ... the drummer from talk talk used a white
simmons kit (just saw their talk talk video) and the drummer from
kajagoogoo (shy shy) used a yellow simmons kit ... you don't see too
many yellow simmons kits floating around there these days, even on
ebay.
