Re: [Simmons Drums] Question on certain a Simmons sound

I'm pretty sure it was the 7's
That's when they started with digital samples instead of all analog filters.

  Subject: [Simmons Drums] Question on certain a Simmons sound


  What console made a really cool crash cymbal sound? Was it the SDS-5, 
  the SDS-7, or have both consoles made that sound (whichever one was in 
  a drummer's disposal)? I have heard that sound in a lot of 80's pop 
  songs such as "High on Emothions" by Chris DeBurgh, "Carribean Queen" 
  by Billy Ocean, "Evan" by Jan Hammer (I also wondered about how I can 
  get that cool ride cymbal sound too), "The Ghost in You" by The 
  Psychadelic Furs, "Oh Shiela" by Ready for the World, and several 
  others (I cannot name them all). How can I produce these awesome crash 
  and ride cymbal sounds? I would like to know that so I can use these 
  sounds myself for my own recordings.
