Features & Capabilities

Simmons Drums Advanced is designed to extend the capabilities of the SD1200, SD1250, and SD2000 electronic drum kits.

Use this app to record real-world sounds with your iPhone or iPad — anytime, anywhere. Later, edit your unique samples and add them to your kit. The result is a nearly a limitless personal library of samples and soundscapes for your Simmons Module.

You can now remotely edit and save your drum kits and sounds with your iOS device using a user-friendly interface.

There are also some great tools for improving your playing such as the “Play Along"" function that allows you to choose songs from your iOS's music library and manipulate the playback speed so you can slow down a song to learn the groove.

SD2000 Users will need an Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter and USB cable to connect the kit drum module to their iOS device.

User Reviews

Users praise Simmons Drums Advanced for strong customization, intuitive editing, sample import, and teaching utility, with notes of excellent customer service. However, recurring problems center on Bluetooth connectivity (difficulty pairing or discovering the drum kit) and stability (app freezes or becomes unusable during MIDI data loading). A few reviewers also mention missing features like a practice mode and interest in MIDI AUv3 support for future updates.

The app freeze can’t be opened at all

Does not have practice mode like the Simmons drum app. Very frustrating. Please add this on. I was very disappointed the feature is not available on the high end kit. Great tool for teaching my kids timing and coordination. Also this thing has lost screws from Tom sensors I’m on snare #3 and replaced a cymbal already. This being said. Simmons customer service is second to none and have replaced and fixed every issue without question and timely. The best customer service I have ever experienced. Ever.
