Features & Capabilities

The Simmons Drums Basic App is designed to extend the capabilities of the Simmons SD100, SD200, SD300, SD350, SD500, SD550, & SD600 electronic drum kits.

Remotely edit and save drum kits and sounds with your iOS device using a user-friendly interface. Improve your playing with the "Teaching tool," which lets you play along with real audio tracks in a game-like environment to help you improve your skills and meter.  The "Play along" function accesses your iOS's music library and manipulates the playback speed so you can slow down a song to learn the groove.

Users may need to download the latest Firmware update from http://simmonsdrums.net/

Users with a SD100, SD200, SD300, SD350, SD500, or SD550 will need an Apple USB Camera Connector kit and USB cable to connect the kit drum module to their iOS device.

User Reviews

User reviews show the Simmons Drums app is useful for editing and practicing with your kit, and is easy to navigate, but suffers from reliability problems including crashes and poor connection, with the play-along feature frequently failing. Beginners especially struggle with the teaching levels. Overall, the app offers valuable editing and practice features when it runs, but reliability and compatibility problems limit its usefulness.
Pros
  • Easy-to-navigate interface and straightforward controls.
  • Editing kit configurations and sound customization via the app.
  • Teaching tools and practice features (music player) for practicing with the kit.
  • Hardware setup works with Apple cable and makes editing easier.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and instability; app crashes when loading music or using play along.
  • Connection/pairing problems with the drum kit (often won’t connect).
  • Play-along feature and music integration largely not working (with iTunes/Apple Music/Spotify; GarageBand compatibility issues).
  • Beginner-level teaching content is too hard and not beginner-friendly.

I bought the titan 50 because of how it works with the app. The app says my kit is connected but none of the features work it. I can’t access the kit tuning from the app

The app overall is relatively easy to navigate. Adjusting different sounds for every single aspect of the kit really opens up the customization of the set you choose to get. I think my only complaint though, which is why I gave it 3 stars for one thing, is that it won’t connect 80% of the time. Really frustrating when I’m trying to dial in what sounds I’m really looking for and want to experiment with.

Agree with other reviewers. It takes a minute or two of trying to load a song from itunes and that’s all i want to use it for.
