Simmons was the standard for everything in electronic percussion from pads, to interfaces, to some of the most innovative synthesizers of the day. The team from St. Albans combined sampled sounds with classic analog controls like pitch, filter, decay and even "second skin" parameters. Simmons drum kits defined the sounds of countless hits in the late 80s and early 90s.
