Yes if I could play drums, I would just have to own one of these. Simmons made one of the coolest 80's electronic drums. The SDS-V is probably the most classic in that serie.

In a synth DIY book I've bought is a complete description of making your own electronic (simmons-like) drums. :D

Yes it sounds cool, but I think I would end up with something looking like Kraftwerks foiled DiY drums.

They're not too expensive. I've seen a set for sale for about 500 euros.

Question is - can you drum? :P
Personally I'd prefer using samples to obtain such sounds.
