Me checking a Simmons sds 8 drum module

[PaulFitzZaland]

Great demonstration of the sounds and capabilities! This video helped me decide to trade my Yamaha DD-12 for an SDS-8 with bright red pads. Sadly 1 channel receives trigger signals but doesn't generate sound. Another channel seems to only make sound in user mode. Other than that it's a great unit. One of these days I'll get it to a technician and have it serviced.

I'm not a drummer so I just traded the red pads and stands for nearly mint condition Pearl DRX-1. No knobs but simmilar sounds!

hi, didnt this drum brain and its tom sounds make the 'plip plop' sound that runs thru the song planet rock? there is this sound that runs thru the song and i think it is a tom sound somehow distorted, if someone knows please let me know!

I learned to play drums on a Simmons sds 8 kit, I had the red backed drum pads with

A better example would be a snare drum.

[miltonatchet]

im 95% sure daft punk use one of these for their assault EP

[TR0jAX]

does this have an internal sequencer ?

[Talkingforfree]

@TR0jAX no but it does have a MIDI in so you can trigger sounds from a sequencer.

@MrDunkJunk you ever see "police academy"? Michael Winslow dosent need the kit, he does the sounds himself... :)

[michaelaruiz]

[blica1]

[SimmonsDrums]

@blica1 Hungry like the wolf is sds 5. Invisible touch perhaps drum machine.

I almost sold mine months ago. If someone is interested (I'm in Austria/Europe), drop me a note.

[Dubwise4u]

cool you can make it sound like a synare. Is this cheaper than a synare?

[producermattpop]

Thank you very much. I knew the sounds but had never seen one.

[SimmonsDrums4life]

can you make more sds-8 videos? please? It sounds soo great !

[DX5]

Sadly I can't by now. The Simmons module and pads belong to my brother, who is drummer.

I will try to borrow them asap :)

Eh, eh, the wonderful simmons-tom sound :)

It's a valid alternative to the "stradivari" of the electronic drums, the SDS-V

[robbieaoa]

Ahhh the old school.

[m0ogy]

awsome kit!!

[scott93257]
