Simmons SDS-7

The Simmons SDS-7 electronic drum system was the successor to the Simmons SDS-V.

Phil Collins got hold of an SDS-7 set in 1984. He didn't start using them properly until the No Jacket Required tour at least

The SDS-7 appears on the Invisible Touch album, on "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" for example. On the tour, he used both the SDS-7 and SDS-V.

Quotes on the Simmons SDS-7
"'I've got the new Simmons SDS-7 which I haven't really fooled with. I have used them on the road but not for any fundamental drum thing. Still, you're catching me two weeks into the album so anything can happen.' (Genesis Information, Winter 1984/85)"
