Re: [Simmons Drums] "Famous" owners of Simmons kit

2007-10-29 by jesper@electronic-obsession.se

I'm still trying to work out who wrote his autograph on the underside of my 
SDS-7. But after that it was owned by the Ultravox (90's) drummer Tony 
Holmes.

I have some history on other pieces of gear, but Simmons-wise it's mostly 
smaller bands...

BUT...
My most famous machine otherwise is my MiniMoog which was owned by Wojciech 
Ernest and with ABBA on the famous Australian tour and also appears on a few 
albums. :)

 electronically yours, jesper

Subject: [Simmons Drums] "Famous" owners of Simmons kit


Hello all,

Just out of interest, does anyone own any Simmons kit that has some
history ?  Maybe originally owned by someone famous ?

To start off, of my 3 SDX's, one was Brian Bennett's (The Shadows) and
another was Howard Jones'.

Anyone else ???

Phil.
