Book excerpt: The name of Dave Simmons is synonymous with quality electronic drum kits since the emergence of his breakthrough electronic drum kit, the hexagonally shaped SIMMONS SDS V that was first released at the end of 1980. The SDS V, with significant design input from Richard James Burgess of the band Landscape, dominated the market for electronic drum kits in the years 1982-1984, and was retired only by the introduction of later kits such as the SDS 7/8/9 and SDX. This book, for the first time provides a full colourful history of the SIMMONS story, and a complete list of all electronic drum-related products released by the Dave Simmons under various company names from as early as 1978 until Simmons left the industry in the mid-1990s. Packed with factual information, colour photographs of all products, images of company brochures and advertisements, and with comment from former SIMMONS staff members from the UK, USA and Germany, and also from some of the leading SIMMONS kit users of the period, this book is a must for fans of the iconic SIMMONS brand.
