Me checking a Simmons sds 8 drum module

Just showing what can it do.
All the channels has the same VCO, so they are basically the same. In preset mode each channel have different settings for each drum sound. You can put it in manual mode, then you can edit all the parameters. It is what I did.

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 :)

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!

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