Simmons SDSV based DIY meshhead pads performing "This Is Us"

[nielswil]

Nice work. What kind of tom/snarepads do you use?

I had a SDS-1000 complete set. Sold them but an ichting feeling seeing all these old SImmons drums. Wanna have one soon.

@nielswil As I say in the title of the video: "DIY" = "Do-it-yourself". Self made.

One question, does roland PD7 pad (dual zone) triger snare and rim and does dual zone ride cymbal triger bow and bell or bell and edge, end how can I change it?

[simmonsmuseum]

@knjecenje that depends on the particular pad. A two zone cymbal pad which you want to use as a ride should of course support bow and bell

Hello,

Thank for this new video....very good music and very good playing...

What trig to midi interface did you use with your modified SDS5 pads???

I wonder how this style of music will sound with analog drum sound of the SDS5/SDS8,Techstar drum module...

Have a nice weekend Thierry EPPHERRE from France

Hi Thierry,

I simply used an Alesis I/O which is definetely one of the cheapest midi interfaces but in my environment it work's perfect

Best regards

Wolfgang

Are the sounds used in this video from a software vst? In this case, have you used an external sound card or what to reduce latency? Thanks a lot for your videos, i hope there will be a lot more!

[simmonsmuseum]

I have a Mackie Onyx 1640 firewire connected to my Mac Pro. What is latency? ;-)

The drums are coming from Toontrack Superior 2, the library is Toontrack ETX nashville

[monzarottie]

I can't wrap my mind around country music coming from the Hex. ;-)

[simmonsmuseum]

vice versa W.S. Holland, drummer of Johnny Cash was pretty confused when I asked him for an autograph on an Simmons SDS9 pad in the early 80s ;-)

At least the more pop oriented country artists such as Dolly Parton also used Simmons drums (well, the sounds in my video are definetely far away from Simmons...)
