«  80's guaranteed ... The legend, what! »

Published on 05/20/13 at 01:21
I have since 2011 and I certainly never divide them.
I bought a SDS100 SDS8 before, but this is just fabulous.
There are 5 "tracks": 1 kick, 1 snare, 3 toms.
Each pad to separate its output, or you can leave everything in stereo. Each pad has its own setting (factory or user). 3 knobs to adjust the stereo output (left, right, mix).
9 knobs for each pad: sensitivity, filter, pitch, bend, decay, noise-tone, click, pan, volume.

This drumkit is made for lovers of 80's and electro. Summarize the Piou Piou of SDS on the high tom is heresy. It has a grain and a sound palette outsized! Monstrususes of snares, toms and a staggering kick really well done.

I'm not a drummer, I driver with a BAR.

No MIDI sequencer but a first input (unfortunately, we must add a chip for DIYeurs or buy a hard to find SDS6). Personally, I extract the sound of my Yamaha RX5 5 instruments to put those of Simmons, and it works very well.

The knobs are solid, the metal shell as well. It's far from vintage soloper *'re plastic today.

I love its sound and its settings.
I do not like his lack of MIDI connectors.

If tomorrow was an opportunity like this, I would do the purchase without any hesitation.
