I've just been reading up on the background to this, and the interview
with Dave Simmons in Digital Drummer magazine is quite illuminating:
http://issuu.com/digitaldrummer/docs/digitaldrummer_may2011issuuIt mentions that at that point in 2011 he was considering some further
adventures in the world of electronic percussion if he could win back
the rights to the Simmons brand name. It would be very interesting as
having recently played my brother's Roland electronic kit, the current
state of the art seems to be a much more affordable but quite limited
version of the Simmons SDX!
