Re: [Simmons Drums] A bit off the subject, but cool!!!!

2005-12-21 by Rodney

The one guy at Animal Kingdom let me try his out & play for a few mins
(you'd have tought he was a salesman for zendrum!)...was an impressive
instrument!  Didn't think it was all that heavy...about that of a Les
Paul or a little heavier.  They have a different smaller version, but
I like the way the triggers are placed on the larger version.  I think
its going to be my next purchase, as it is a LOT cheaper than a Stick
Bass!  (LOL!)

It'll be VERY interesting triggering some of them with a modern
module, and then some of them with my SDS-9 or SDS1000!
