Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

I'd like a whole weekend to test soft synths that emulates stuff I do own... 
Would be cool to hear if I (haven't heard anyone else yet) could copy the 
original sound I love my machines for...

electronically yours, jesper

Well Nate, if you say so ...

It depends what sound you're expecting from your SImmons...
if you're talking about peeeeooowwww, yes a lot of things can do
that !
I guess it's the Simmons sounds I hate the most !
but for beefy tribal sounds I didn't find it anywhere else ...I have
tryed the Waldorf Attack....... & never opened it since then...

But If a virtual synth in a laptop can do what I expect from my
SImmons units ; believe me I 'll be the first to purchase it !!!
I'm not a fan of units all over the studio !

Heresy or not , just a personal opinion , virtual synths are far
from  Simmons , like Atmosphere is imitating the Fairlight type of
sound in a great & an easier way ........to the point you're lucky
enough to hear a real one ... & you're suddenly in another
universe ...
Which isn't a good thing really , a Fairlight is still a  lot more
expensive than Atmosphere ...Unfortunetaly ...

As I said before maybe one day  ...

 Take care of you SDS9, it's a nice unit ,
Cheers ,
Patrice.
