Simmons SDS-8

The affordable Simmons

The SDS-8 brought the hexagonal pad and analogue voicing to a price home studios could reach, and is the Simmons most often found today.

Category

  • Electronic Drums

    Complete electronic kits, the sound modules that drive them, and the standalone pads that sit alongside an acoustic set. Distinct from drum machines, which are sequenced rather than struck.

Made by

  • Simmons

    Dave Simmons built the first commercially successful electronic drum kit in Britain at the end of the 1970s, and the hexagonal pads and synthetic tom sound of the SDS-V are inseparable from 1980s production. The original company failed in 1994; the name now appears on budget electronic kits.
