Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Hello Paul,
I thought the SD5k sounded okay when I tried it. It was probably 
targeted at the beginner level but it still has some good sounds. I 
just wish it had a MIDI in port.

The one thing I really miss about the old simmons kits?
They really had the look down good. I think they were the first kits 
that were made to be played and seen. Most electronic kits even 
today are made to sit in someones house for practice (my opinion). 
They don't look good. Dave Simmons was really on to something by 
making his kit the way he did. I miss that aspect of the electronic 
drum kit.
Cheers, Steve
