Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Although i enjoy the simmons sounds ,has anyone used addictive drums or reel machines using simmons pads being only one peizo and how well does it respond ompared to roland ect?.What i would really like to see is mandella drums join partners with the former simmons company and reproduce the simmons sds x in the hex pad shape (a classic}that i would buy.Would like to otherwise convert them to hex pads as they should fit inside the simmons,thanks
