I knew I'd seen one of these before. Someone posted a picture on the Simmons facebook group. Might even be the same one:

I wonder what it sounds like?

Ämne: [Simmons Drums] Simmons knock-off on ebay


 
Hi,

Just saw this listing on ebay -

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SIMONS-SIMMONS-DS8-DS-8-RARE-VINTAGE-ANALOG-DRUM-MACHINE-ELECTRONIC-DRUMS-/321163638540?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ac6d8370c

Now, I know everyone was trying to copy Simmons back in the day, but that is the most blatant rip-off I have ever seen! Possibly an East German or Russian copy judging by the sellers other items. I've never seen one of those before.

Cheers, vout
