Can anyone tell me about the Nord Drums ability to emulate Simmons SDS drum synths?
A Simmons Clone is nowhere else to be found

I don't know about a physical box (along the lines of the Nord Drum) emulating Simmons SDS drums, but you could have a look at Arturia's Vintage Drum Machines: http://www.arturia.com/evolution/en/pro ... intro.html

They have a software-only version (VSTi, probably) and a version you use with their drum computer/sequencer. I think you can try out the software for 30 days or something, so you could check out if it's convincing enough. I think this product is based on emulation, not samples.

Thanks, I'll check it out

Dear robinkle,
i could provide you with several Settings for an acceptable Simmons-sound, in case you are still interested.

I really need a good "clap" sound... And i dont seem to get it right...

there is only one Simmons VST and it this one.

I would be interested in those settings for the Simmons sound. Please get back to me.

Thanks!!

Dear Hexagon, I'd love to have that too! I'm especially keen on that Bruford hihat-esque sound that can be heard here for example: Not sure if it's a Simmons hat, but he's know as a Simmons-player, so I guess it is. I've tried to emulate it with my 3P, but I somehow don't get there. Any help highly appreciated!
