hey hows it going

great video

what bass guitar / effect did you get to get that famous peter hook sound?? did you use a baratone?? cheers

[simmonsmuseum]

@19karl16 Simply a Fender Jazz Bass directly played into the channel strip with some stereo chorus. Peter Hook normally plays higher notes on the bass. He plays "guitar melodies" rather than a bass fundament. I assume that's the whole trick. Thanks!

I know that Peter Hook used a Simmons multi-pad box on "The Perfect Kiss" , but did drummer Stephen Morris ever use Simmons drums?

[simmonsmuseum]

@MrBrombomb I don't know. In this video Peter Hook uses a suitcase kit. On stage i also saw him with SDSV pads. I have't seen Stephen Morris playing any Simmons gear as well.

hey nice done love simmons and love new order so great combination.

i thought the bassdrum from blue monday was an 707 where it actualy simmons drums? i dont think so ;)

[simmonsmuseum]

you are right. The basic rythm originally comes from some Oberheim gear I guess, but I thought somehow this track would be qualified to do make a demo. In fact New Order did use Simmons sounds on Blue Monday, but only some effect sounds triggered by Peter Hook

Hi Wolfgang,

if I don't check by every two days, I'm missing all the new stuff! Thanks for the video and playing stuff lby hand that was a rhythm computer in the original - probably boring for you, but very skillful! Am curious to see the next video and the next lovely piece of equipment you'll show to us all!

What's about a SDS 3 Video?

[weegerri1sm]

The yellow pads look the best. :)

Classically 80's in finest Pac-Man yellow.

[QuietStormMan]

Awesome drum session. You looked like you were in the zone jamming with simmons set. Just watching this makes me miss the 80's.

Hey this was nice. Well why not try recording this song Industry - State of the Nation ?

[JeffSweigard]

Sweet! I'm looking for some yellow Simmons pads. I love the way they look!
