Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Heya Adam,

Yes, I too was disappointed to hear from Brian that they had ditched 
the Simmons module live, but I've yet to hear the D4 in action. It 
was a wonderful thing hearing that kit pounding through a decent PA. 
We did quite a few shows with them up here in QLD in the 
late '90s/early '00s, they were using an SDS8 which was incredibly 
powerful.

I spoke to Brian about his other SDS8 he was going to sell, sounds in 
very bad shape :-(

Cheers,
Ken.

they have been using live recently,  the real classic sound on the 
records is all SDS5,  not 8.  if anyone is looking for the original 
sounds on those records you need a SDS5.

triggering the HORRIBLE!  Hex drum samples preset,  witch as a pseudo 
fan and simmons fan is a bit disappointing.  But I do understand the 
problems of old analog gear and touring/reliability.
