Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

At that time Simmons kit were used a lot for "pretending to play" in the
recording TV studio , & having a modern look ...
Even if they were seen all the time they didn't play as much as they were
seen ...

& to complicate things they might even have triggered a Linn Drum from
Simmons pads via a trigger interface ...

It was very hard to know what came from what !

Bye,
 Patrice.

> That really threw me off!!! Linn, Oberheim, and Simmons all used the same
EPROMs. They used the 2764 and the 27128. I found out in "The Cars: Complete
Greatest Hits" in the fron cover/booklet that in the album "Heartbeat City",
their drummer really used a Linn drum machine (As I have seen in the videos,
their drummer played a Simmons kit).
