Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

I also think we should leave the fighting to Dave Simmons himself. But as we 
all know, Bob Moog had a hell of a time getting his name back...

But regarding vintage and drumming etc, I'm no drummer, I mainly program my 
beats, but being an electronic analogue gearhead Simmons is right up my 
alley. A drum sound that sounds like an acoustic set is a failure to me 
unless that's what I'm looking for.

Hi Berk,

I personnaly don't agree with everything , BUT it is all for that reasons
that SImmons had to close .
So it's quite a realistic observation ! But just not my choices ...
all people who really like Simmons or analog & even digital drumkits it's
just because they are hypnotised by the sound quality or particularity ...
Which bring us in a very small community ; we're probably all on this list
...
That's also why Simmons closed .
WHen I asked him a few years ago , "why that , why that & why that" Dave
just told me ;
imagine how many drummers you are on the music market ; just a small
pourcentage  !? now imagine how many Drummers who are playing Edrums ...even
less ...
It's a too small market with a big competition going on ...
Who cares about having a magic sound ? just a very few people ; US !!! & a
few other ...
U're right , all the other people want a drumkit to find peace with their
neighbours ...
or to imagine that they have easily a good (?) sound that they can't reach
on their drumkit (for many reasons) ...
For a while it was the Phil Collins sound...

That's why we never had a really perfect Edrum Kit ...the SDX was nearly the
one but  its devellopment has been sadly interrupted ...
The Dynacord ADDTwo was very close too ...THe ddrum3 reached main of the
goodies we needed , but after the SDX I wasn't really convinced by the ddrum
sound...
All this modules had been interrupted in their evolution...
Now we have some Yamaha & Roland Toys ...that have brought their part of
good things  but  they sound like toys ...

The only close thing to the real one I heard recently is the DrumKit From
Hell , but very dedicated to the real sound ...
No Other textures on that one ...but the real thing so easily good  ...

But I know now why I collect some SImmons elements ; because I want them to
sound differently as my acoustic drums ...
The SDX is like a Fairlight , I like it because it sounds so deep with its
very own sound caracteristic ...
So I like Simmons  for what it does, not for what it could do ...

Anyway I still see a lot of passion on this List !
That's probably the most important ...
Let's bring our crappy,sci fi  & fabulous Sounds in the productions again
!!!

Conservative or not ? who cares if it sounds good ...

See you all !
Patrice.

Hi Patrice 
just for the record
nothing personal to anyone
The thing is: I wished Dave made some more comments
then this forum would be much more alive ( haha)
my point is: I freaking love the Simmons shit (for as much I'm an expert,don't
know all his shit, it's also for nostalgia reason, I mean the man nearly
invented Edrumming, and made it out to something)
It's more that I don't like it that schematics aren't available
Just to keep those goodies going on 

I WOULD NOT MIND PAYING FOR THEM
( a fair price offcourse, not a "collector's item price)

MAn I paid a fortune for my SDX and then I found out that there wasn't anything
on the internet. That's for a poor musician a great risk, owning a drumkit
which you can't play in a band ( to fragile, heavy) and just have it at your
garret
eating dust just for nostalgia reasons. So when the guy comes along who pays
the  price I want to have, just sold the beast. Man it still psses me off,
but I was short on the money
Whatever reason people use Edrums I don't mind as long it's not for rplacing
"real" drums
(Oeps I do that too, roland handsonic (great fun, could come close to being
"perfect", great response but a drag to program " a chance missed ) with
2 kick pedals and hihat controller ( easy for the gigs where I normally use
a shitload off "real" percussion which gets blown away by all those nice
" collegues")
I hate myself really for it, but then again, I play tabla bongo, conga and
all, just with the same techniques And I'm a kind off practical person (
since my kids were born and I don't have any time left to really learn to
play and instrument

Enough off me
it's time for something new
How about those "mandala" pads danny carrey off TOOL is using
anyone over here who played them, heared them ( except for the new TOOL album)

And what about the AddOne ( two??) from dynacord 
Is this an ok machine patrice??
I thought it was mainly a sampler 
help me out on this one

Besides all my shit spilling
Conservative or not
I don't give a shit as long as the outcome is good music ( and sounds great)
What a passion 
keep this forum alive people

BERK!

therefore , I will try to see if I can obtain something from Dave ...
It's just a matter of availability & time for him .
He's very nice but he's just involved in "time consuming" things.

You have to know  that main of his Simmons spares had disappear with the dead companies ...

Nothing makes me think , "oh I have to get that" ...
I remember that I had been very shocked by the first sight of an SDX , for example ...
Then I had to manage to get one at any price ; & I had basically no money ! 
& I did .....2 or 3 years later.

> And what about the AddOne ( two??) from dynacord 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The one & the Two are not the same machines 

> Is this an ok machine patrice?? 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the ADDTWO is a very good machine but not very reliable ...I had 2 of them , two breakdown ...
the "2 unit high" was a very good tool ...
The ADDONE was a more 8 or 12 bits machine with some Rom in it & a optional drive ...
very grainy very good filters ...but a bit of pain to use ...
it sounded very industrial , very german ! 
The ADDTWO was more a 16 bits / 44khz sampler, a more clean sound ; very dynamic !
but it was just a sampler no sound on board ... a quite good library !


> I thought it was mainly a sampler 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Yep !

> help me out on this one 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~which one ?

I still have an ADDONE + ADD Drive but I don't use it much ...therefore it's a big beast too ! 
But I'm not so fan of this big cold sound !

When time is professionnal I bring my DDRUM3 with me ...it did 250 gigs & it had been always very reliable !
I have to say that I'm playing some samples in it that I transfered from my SDX !!!
Sometimes I bring my SDSV !
Now when I work for me I try my Simmons sounds & units ...because it's more magic ...more grainy !!!

I have too little time in the studio anyway to record sound samples for this

But in the future I plan to record more complete songs and then maybe...
