Re: Betr: Re: [Simmons Drums] christmas shopping ?? - 2 x sdx kits coming up for sale sho

2008-09-30 by Patrice Jacquot

Hi Berk You developped what I didn't so Mark will better understand  
with your version...  ;- )

Personnaly the Sequencer on board never worked properly ... but who  
cares ...


oh yeah & I will strongly recommend a compressor again !!!!

As sometimes the kits don't have the same levels at all  !!!!!!
& the full open SDX dynamic could explose your speakers or... your  
timpanies !!!
