Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

hey paul,
if u like i might be able to send u an mp3 of a spliff song with
edrums. herwig played live both kits, an accoustic kit was at the left
side of the stage, the simmons throned on a huge raiser in the middle,
where drummers usually are.
if i remember correctly, he used a 6piece kit, 3 pads as toms, 1 snare
and 1 floor pad. and the bassdrum pad of course. cymbals were all
"normal".

personally i experimented with a LP trigger pad, which i used to get
sounds from an ENSONIQ Mirage sampler. i had a keyboard sampler at
home, where i sampled myself, and also another friend of mine sampled
too. on stage our keyboarder had a mirage rack sampler, so i could use
that stuff on stage.
