DX5 playing Visage "Fade to Grey" (With added Simmons Drums)

video upload by DX5

"Updating an instrumental cover I had already recorded over a decade ago, in this case adding a Simmons tom at the end of the song as on the original version.

Gear used live:
Upper Left: Roland MRS-2 Promars.
Mid left: Roland JP8000
Upper right: Simmons SDS 8 analogue drum module (Note: the pad is not Simmons)
Bottom right: Roland D-10


Backtrack previously sequenced and recorded, instrument by instrument, by me, including a DX7 bassline.

Original song composed by Billy Currie, Christopher Payne, Midge Ure (I would add Steve Harrington, Rusty Egan and Richard James Burgess by their contribution too).

Performed here by DX5 Jose Maria Bara."

"Very good shape. All modules tested and working perfectly. Stock configuration with one bass, one snare and three tom cards. The last tom card is from an older SDSV. There are two expansion spaces for additional cards for a total of 7. This one lived in a rack and the rack ears are in place. It takes a 3u space. The bottom panel has three of the normal 6 rubber feet and is removable to fit better when racked. All the knobs and caps are in place. Power cable is included."

Genesis Tonight, Tonight, Tonight ~ Vintage Synthesizer Recreation ~ RetroSound

video upload by RetroSound

"(c)2007-24 by RetroSound
supported by UVI: http://bit.ly/retrosound-uvi

❤️ Support #RetroSound​ channel: https://retrosound.creator-spring.com

One of my favorite tracks from the 80s.
Tonight, Tonight, Tonight by Genesis (1986)
Written by Tony Banks, Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford
Invisible Touch album

featured the Yamaha DX7 II FD, the Moog Taurus bass pedal, Linndrum and Simmons Drums

This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers.
Check out the original songs with the original artists here on YouTube.
Thank you."

♫ Jamming With a Bunch of Synths ♫ ----- (79)

video upload by

"This jam is a little weird. My phone was on low battery which made the video slightly glitchy. I was a bit distracted during this recording so it's maybe a bit more boring than usual. There is also a couple mysterious audio drop outs near the end of the video. I didn't notice these prior to uploading so it's possible something went wrong when combining the audio and video files or something.
