I think we are many that might be of another opinion. ;)

But yes, I got what you meant and for live purposes and similar there
are far easier gear to move around etc.

If you want the best solution try the VSDSX of Aly James Lab, no samples but analog emulation... sounds like a almost real one ... and you can load the original .bin file of the EPROM like SDS 7 or SDSV hi hat or cymbal card ... i tried is VS a real one ... go to the site and download the manual ...

Sample won't do it — its static. One need VA to emulate analog oscillator and analog envelopes/VCA. SDS-V has a very simple synth engine so good result can be had with a computer to create sounds on itself.

But drummers appreciate the direct feel of real analog drums without any latency. And rocking through a big PA nothing compares to the real analog machines.
For sound designers in studio there is also a different creative mindset working on hardware synths.

But to me personally prices on eBay are really off the hinges. Altough I love my SDS-V & 7 and have no plan to sell, — if I had to pay current eBay prices and not needing the kit to play live I definetly sink the money into modular synth modules over most Simmons.

Very true in so many ways... I just finished a song with SDS-IV kick and
snare and to this day I'm having a hard time reproducing that on other
gear. And if the decay is too long or the click too weak, it's fixed in
seconds compare to VA-tweaking or even worse - sampling.

But yes, Ebay prices are scary, bordering on jokes.
