SDS-III is a different breed. Circa 200 units made and first commercial
product from Simmons. Stylish as hell, rare as hen's teeth and wanted
like few other analogue drum brains.
SDS-8 was a commercial success. Thousands were produced. It looked
boring, is common and often the poor man's entry to the analogue drum world.
Well, something like that anyway. :) I have owned three SDS-8's and sold
every one. I have a SDS-III and it sure stays here since it's so bloody
amazing!
