Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Hello Jesper. I don't quite agree with you - or maybe I just don't 
understand what you mean by PC rascals. 

Why shouldn't they have the real sound? Just because they have a tool 
that can give them the sound of Simmons doesn't necessarily mean they 
can make proper music with it, right? 

For me, there wouldn't be a difference between turning knobs on my 
computer and turning knobs on a piece of hardware. That might be 
because I have never owned a Simmons kit (although I have had a 
chance to buy a SDS V and a SDS 7 (defective, that's why I didn't buy 
it). But when even hardcore analog purists have a hard time telling 
the difference between a softsynth and the real thing, I think that a 
software version of the Simmons kits would be a great idea as I 
expect it would come very close to the original. 

Respectfully
Thomas
