CONCEPT
The Simmons electronic drum kit, SDS 8, is part of a revolution that is currently
changing the face of drums. The “skins and shells” concept has remained basically
unchanged for thousands of years while every other instrument in rock music has
enjoyed the application of new technology, allowing them to evolve into more
creative and exciting tools for the making of music. At Simmons Electronics we
decided to do something about this injustice and dedicated ourselves to producing
percussion instruments for the eighties. By purchasing the SDS 8, you have joined
the front line of the revolution. CONGRATULATIONS! The SDS 8 is not a
complicated instrument, however we do request that you read this manual carefully as
it has been written to ensure that you are able to use your Simmons electronic drum
kit as creatively as possible.
GOOD LUCK.
