Samples From Mars has released a sample library featuring the sounds of the Simmons SDSV drum synthesizer.
Released in 1981, the Simmons SDSV was the world’s first electronic analog drumkit and still remains the biggest and most characterful Simmons to this day. The oscillators sound ridiculously big, with almost an overload of bass and the same Curtis filters used on the SP-1200 and Voyetra enclose the entire sound in vintage warmth.
This is a great library of samples if you’re looking to expand your analog drum game into more unique territory than the standard 808 / 909. Although the SDSV is perhaps most popular for its role in 80s rock, it is equally at home in the modern electronic producer’s studio as a secret weapon for deep analog groove.
