Just because the proms are the same doesn't mean that the sounds on them are 
or the finished sound from the units...

>> For those of you who have an SDS-7 to toy around with, how can I
>> make those cool cymbal sounds? I need to know what EPROMs to use and
>> how much value of the right-side controls will be necessary. The
>> ride sounds to have an almost accoustic ride sound but with a little
>> bit of a hiss or a Simmons hi-hat sound mixed in with it. The crash
>> sounds to have a sound almost like a 16" K. Zildjian thin crash but
>> the pitched is swept up and has a hiss at the beginning of the sound
>> (I'm not sure if it has a ping at the beginning like the SDS-5
>> Cymbal Sound). The high hat sounds are a short analog "tsst" sound
>> for closed and a shaker-like hiss for open.
