AHHHH YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!.


       I remeber playing on one of the early kits at Simmons which 
used to be about 4 miles away from where I used to live,that was in 
my eyes an experience I will never forget,they used to be made in St 
Albans in Hertfordshire,here in the UK in the early 80`s and sold 
like hot cakes,though they were expensive.But saying that now with 
the Yamaha DTXpress I have managed to program a very good Simmons 
kit into it,and incorperating a Roland SPD-6 into it as well,its 
brilliant.
