I know it's like speaking to already devoted fans, but I still maintain
that "theeee" Simmons sound is the crunchyness of the SDS-V (gated if
preferred) and having owned a lot of other drum synths I still haven't
heard a faithful replica of that. I'm not talking sonar pings och
lasergun battles here, but that thick and rich "in-your-face" sound that
makes even the toms useful.

But yes, to most users it's the hexgons that counts! :)
