Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

I use my sillicon mallet all the time.
It died a couple weeks ago and i am taking the time to have my tech go
over it completely and have a pair of D.I.s installed...i'm a keyboard
player and got the mallet thinking it would be a nice diversion. It
has proven to be a joy and liberating to play.
It is exilerating to play live !!!!!

I am considering adding another Simmons head like SDSV or 9 to it. I
midi it to my Yamaha TX816 and sometimes to my Kurz Choirs...the
Yamaha just expands the mallet sound in very natural ways and the Kurz
Chiors sound other-worldly triggered from the mallet...

I'm happy to hear of others still using these really kewl
instruments.....they just blow the competition away nite after nite.
