If you had some shots of it under subdued lighting going through a slideshow, with some Barry White playing in the background, and you charged an entry fee, you could make a mint! Laughing

Nope.. sorry.. but I have salvaged and restored/rebuilt some recordings featuring it.

I used to own a sds-3.
Sold it to a friend and really wanna kill myself for doing that.
Hopefully one day i'll find one again.

I should think the EH Space Drum sweep generator might widen the options of this unit.

Nothing but really nothing i've ever heard had such a damn good sound as the sds3.
Sorry for going off-topic.
Maybe split this tread up?

I can split it at my SDS 3 post? OK?

Please don´t post anything in this thread before that is done.

The BOOOOMING basskick is the SDS3.
I miss it so much!

Done.

Anyways, I love the SDS 3. I triggered it from sequencers too, and the device sounded really fat. It would be cool to have a modular version of it.
It would also be cool to have 8 channels and not 4. Cool

Oops i realizie this is not a booming kick but a different version.
But still sds3 for sure Smile

The boooom drum starting at approx 6:41 is the SDS 3 triggered by a sequencer. It´s pretty low so it won´t register on laptop speakers though. Very Happy
