Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

hello knowledgeable  group,
I too have an origional SDSV and I hear you talking about a card foor  a 
cymbol.My unit lets you hear 1 bass 1 snare 2 tom toms and a cymbol. Is that 5  
cards, one for each instrument. I wrote here a long time ago about my snare  
channel  not allowing me to adjust any of that channels knobs to get the  snar 
sound.It us to sound like the greatest rim shot youv'e ever head. sharp,  
snappy, snare sound but now, empty and hollow . I do get a drum beat  but it is as 
far away to a snare sound as you can get. Can you help.With your  expertise in 
simmons, please keep it simple .I am not an electronics wizzard but  I do 
comprehend. Last of all,
For you drummers out there I USE MY SNARE ON MY RIGHT HEEL LEFT HEEL IS  HIGH

BAR 1/8 X 1 IN. X 8 INCHES.

YOU 6 WAYS TO PUT YOUR BEAT TOGETHER. WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND FREE,  YOU CAN  DO 
SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND BY DOING SO YOU HAVE 6 DIFFERENT WAYS TO MAKE  YOUR 
SOUND TRUST ME WHEN I SAY YOUR SECTION IN THE BAND SOUNDS  HUGE. AS EVERYONE 
KNOWS,THERE ARE NO RULES TO WHAT YOU PLAY BEING  DIFFICULT OR BEING SIMPLE.THE
