THINGS I USED TO OWN OVER THE YEARS... TIME FLIES!

OK, I will not take too long... 

>BUT<

When "Synare" came to the market with it new snare in 1979(?) (in my pics just on top), it was nothing short of >AMAZING<. The sonic possibilities were (for the small area available) stunning.

After that, Simmons (and EVERYBODY that FOLLOWED) came out with (excuse me) a set of  >BORING< drums. EVERYBODY that followed them (with very limited exceptions) didn't change the design, until later in the decade, and it wasn't that great (if you ask me).

Now let me state that adding a design (a tiny change on the circuit board, at the cost of >> 0$ <<)  or a fraction of the price, would have propelled the drums sounds to... Who knows where... The 80 were a time of great discoveries... And here we are with a drum sound >STUCK< with the possibility of little change given to us.

Having had the chance (or having the chance of knowing what I know in circuit design now), I would have >REVOLUTIONISE< the way the electronic drums sounds.

A >SMALL< change (as a cost of >> 0$ <<)  or a small amount, would make the sounds >COMPLETELY< different! But instead of finding new sounds, we were >STUCK< in a (let's call it a >STATE< that, unfortunately) kept drummers with very little experiment with.

Just imagine combining the Simmons brain with the Synare "logic"... The problem with the "early" Simmons is that the was no >MODULATION< (except for the UP/DOWN). Just adding the >MODULATION< to the voices would have been amazing! They did so but in the late state of the drum modules.

You could modulate the frequency, the pitch, everything, everything!!! And the cost would be >0$< or a tiny fraction. of their cost.

I can't believe that we were >STUCK< like that!

THERE, I thought I would let you know that, yes they were >LIMITED< by the design, and not by the >0$< it would have cost us for getting >MORE< sonic >MARVELOUSNESS™️< at >0$< or a small amount...
