SDS 1000 Is pretty basic. decent 'skin' feature keeps the sounds fresh all be it simple.

It's a good mix between natural and Simmons-y.

If you get one with MIDI it's a bonus, not all 1000's have that and it transmits trigger inputs as well as responds to MIDI.

you can actually record your performance via MIDI and play it back like a normal controller.

COOL.

they are cheap for what they do.

Greetings gang,

Since the SDS 1000 is one of the few units I don't have any experience with
I was wondering if you folks had any tips, suggestions, working knowledge
you would be happy to pass along.

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Mark
