via this auction"The Simmons SDSV or SDS5 as it was also called needs no introduction to the Electronic drumming world.
The SDS-V was hailed as “the world's first fully electronic drum kit.” It was first heard on Spandau Ballet's 1981 hit, “Chant No. 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On) and later on ABC's hit "Poison arrow". After that, it caught on with many 80s musicians and was featured by such bands as Duran Duran and Rush.
It consisted of the now famous Hexagon pads and a modular, rack mount brain. The standard kit came with five modules, kick, snare and three toms. Simmons modules are extremely rare but one which is fully populated is even more so!This auction is for an original fully populated rack mount brain comprising of Kick, Snare and five tom modules! I also have the original pads (2 x Kick pads, 1 snare pad, 5 tom pads in white with black riot shield type playing surface ie hard with aluminium trim) which are NOT included in this auction, though I may list seperately in the future."
