Hello Joey,
once the battery is empty, all sounds are lost if you switch the SDS7 off. They won't come back with a new battery. Welcome to the club...

  Subject: [Simmons Drums] Changing battery in SDS7 / sound issue


  Hello everyone,

  I need to change the main battery in my SDS7 that I just recently
  purchased. I would just like to know something: 

  When the battery is dead do you lose all the preset sounds? If yes,
  how do you get the sounds back?

  The person that sold the unit to me said the unit sounded great but
  that the main battery needed tp be changed. When I received the unit
  non of the sounds worked. I am in the process of trying to replace the
  battery. I contacted the seller and he said not to worry about the
  sounds and that once I replaced the battery with a new one the unit
  would work fine with all the sounds intact.

  Is this in fact true? I'm really worried that I just got ripped off.

  Joey
