Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Hello again,

there is of cuorse a reason why I ended up on this group. I'm 
involved in writing bits and pieces in whats going to be an 
interactive musicencyclopedia. I'm really supposed to write about 
synths and keyboards but since electronic drums was considered to be 
more in the synth department than in the drum department, I got that 
bit to.
The problem is I don't know to much about this stuff. I've started to 
buy some Simmons stuff to get a feel for it but I would really 
appreciate some help. So... Here goes (and please remember, this is 
an encyclopedia for all kinds of music and instruments. Not 
specialised):

1. What electronic drums are a definitive must to mention in the 
encyclopedia? (There will be samples of the different kits aswell, so 
wich ones should I go for there?)

2. Can you give me names of songs (and bands) where electronic drums 
are prominent. (Not drummachines, that's another story all togeather).

3. Drummers who were pioneers in using electronic drums.

I think that would give me a good base for my research. If you could 
help me out I would be very greatfull.

Cheers,

Kiko
