So SDS-1 doesn't exist. I've always learned that the epromtreakable pads
were SDS-1. Was I wrong?

electronically yours, jesper (with two of those and 6 eproms to fit)

Jesper,
Lesser men would have missed that! It is indeed Mattel Synsonics. It is
the pro model! "Pro model?!" you ask? Yes, pro model. It has a 3 small memory
banks. You can program 3 different beats. The snare is a short burst of noise,
the cymbal is a long burst of noise. The 2 toms are nasty little thuds but
you can tune one of them all the way up to Mars for that annoying "disco tom"
sound. The bass drum is an annoying low pitched pop. Your question has prompted
me to play w/ it................................. I can't believe it! The
batteries still work after 2 years! I never play w/ it. It needs a noise gate. It
sounds like a toy. It can't be synced. It won't keep time on it's own if it's
plugged into a bad AC socket. It stays steady on batteries, though. It's also
grey w/ black pads as opposed to the traditional black w/ grey pads so when
your friends come over they know you're not playing around. You got the Pro
model!

I've considered one... but I wouldn't want to mess with it and put external
triggers in there etc. Better use the stuff I've got...

For those not familiar with it we can add that Mattel is the same company as
the one who makes the Barbie dolls!!!

Thanks... but...

I'd like to check with the list if we want to keep this as a reference since
the list description clearly says the list isn't for the SDS5K. Also, we're
probably also violating a few copyright issues by keeping it there. I'm
voting for throwing it out... Are you with me or against?

I realize there may be a copywriter issue and that should be cleared up first. However eliminating information and communication can be a problem. We may get SDS5 people who learn how different Simmons was and become more interested in the “OLD” Simmons. Who knows some may be good at electronics and can be helpful. One solution could be that we begin to call and refer to SDS5K – as Guitar Center Simmons and place uploads in a new folder. Sort of separate but encourage communication

Re: [Simmons Drums] New file uploaded to Simmons_Drums

2007-04-15 by Pat

Hi Barry ,

nothing personnal, but I don't share your point of view ,
please remember that the SD5k ISN'T a SIMMONS AT ALL ...So why should we feel concerned about it ?
Nobody's buying an SD5k because of the SImmons name, this generation don't know about Simmons ... it's too old ...
They're buying it just because it's cheap !

Anyway, the destination isn't the same neither ...
Someone interested in electronic & in the sound won't buy an SD5k at all .
Someone who wants to practice in his bedroom won't buy an SDS7or V or SDX for that ...
Old Simmons don't offer at all what the SD5k brings.
&SD5k doesn't approach at all the Sound of original SImmons.
it's, I think, 2 completely separate worlds.
with 2 separate destinations.

People who buy an SD5k are buying a first price chinese thing. Do they care about analog or digital things converters ?
The old Simmons were Audio Pro Units ...

It's same sort of situation between the MP3 world & the audiophile one...
I don't see young MP3s consumers finding any interest by paying more for an audiophile system or recordings when they can download for free ...

Well, anyway ; it's just about my personnal thoughts.

have a nice day,
Patrice.

true...

There I don't agree. I think people have the name in the back of their head.
And remember that tech daddies will buy tech gifts for their sons (and
daughters). A friend (he's 35) bought a Medeli (same shit as SDS5K) for his
just recently...

> They're buying it just because it's cheap !

...that too...

> Anyway, the destination isn't the same neither ...
> Someone interested in electronic & in the sound won't buy an SD5k at all .

There is the biggest reason not to keep it I think. We don't want these
radio shack musicians on the list. We want the devoted or those who simply
dug out dags old set and likes it! :)

Old Simmons don't offer at all what the SD5k brings.

No, thank God! ;)

Amen... I wonder why I seldom sell any CDs from my record store anymore. I
only have the "living in the past-bastards" browsing the site...

Thanks for sharing... The manual at least got the discussion going!

Well
since everybody is throwing in a couple off dimes
maybe I should too.
Both parties in this issue are right ( or wrong depends on your point off
view)
Most likely the buyers off the shitty chinese crap drums won't be interested
in analogue sounds ( and the trouble off keeping equipment going, also because
the founder isn't much off a help, or am I to edgy here??) and true Simmons
equipment and soundshaping etc.

On the other hand, It might be a starting point where someone might become
interested and want to achieve more knowledge etc etc and find out there's
much more out there.
I mean 15 years ago I bought my first sampler ( roland S10 ) and atari 1040
st and a radioshack kinda microphone because it was cheap and that way I
could start writing my own music ( or something like that)
Now I'm running on ensoniq ( asr-x)and yamaha (A3000) samplers with a Mac
G4 and shitloads of other stuff cause in the time passing by I started to
make money and I wanted things to work better and sound better.

But I understand that the group don't want to be identified by the GC "simmons"
rip off. And I personallly think it's best kept that way.
Let's not forget that there are more ways to play (E-)drums
I don't care how you do it, as long as it feels and sounds right:
The music matters , and that's all there is folks.

Yours
BERK!

But, the point is, if you're interested in the name Simmons, even after
buying the crap you'll find the list. If you're not interested, you'll
regret buying it...
