Hello all! While searching for info on Simmons, I stumbled across a link to this group. I got an SDS 5 set in 1982 and still use the pads from in in my current setup in my project studio for realtime input for MIDI drum tracks. Since the first set I added a few more pads, including two stereo pads that I use for snare/rim and open/close hi-hat. I also have two TMI units to convert the pad signals to MIDI. I don't use the bass pad (replaced by two DW pedal triggers) or SDS 5 head anymore and replaced the old hard surfaces with the soft replacement pad tops they sold many years ago. A group like this is great, since I am dreading the day if the TMIs need to be serviced. I know I had trouble having the lithium batteries replaced the last time and I forget how many years ago that was. Michael Perez studiovheissu@... http://home.earthlink.net/vheissu.htm
