Simmons kits were originally known as the innovative kits that combined analog synthesizers with drum pads in the late 1970s.
The sound and look of the original Simmons kits were unmistakability unique and helped to change sound of music in the 1980s. From bands like King Crimson to artists like Prince, the Simmons sound was up front and part of the color of the music of that time.
Part of the goals for the Simmons sound library was to capture and recreate the unique sound of those kits. Here are the products that Dave Simmons himself programmed and recorded for the library.
