Thank you for purchasing the Simmons

®

 SDD7 Multi-Pad Electronic Drum Kit.

To get the most enjoyment from your new tabletop digital drum, we recommend that you review 

this manual at least once, then refer back to it often to learn more about specific functions. 
This Owner’s Manual can be downloaded from the Simmons website at simmonsdrums.net.
So that we may better serve you, please register your warranty today at simmonsdrums.net.

Location

Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, high temperature sources, and excessive humidity to 

prevent deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage.

Power Supply

• Turn the power switch OFF when the SDD7 is not in use.
•  The AC adapter should be unplugged if the SDD7 is not to be used for an extended period 

of time.

•  Avoid  plugging  the  AC  adapter  into  an  outlet  that  is  also  powering  high-consumption 

appliances  such  as  electric  heaters  or  televisions.  Also  avoid  using  multi-plug  adapters, 

since these can reduce sound quality, cause operation errors and result in possible damage.

•  Turn  OFF  the  SDD7’s  power  switch  and  all  related  devices  prior  to  connecting  or 

disconnecting cables to avoid damaging the unit.

Handling and Transport

• Never apply excessive force to controls, connectors, and other parts.
• Unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly. Do not pull on the cables.
• Disconnect all cables before moving the unit.
•  Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or placing heavy objects on the unit can 

result in scratches and more serious damage.

Cleaning

• Clean the unit with a dry, soft cloth.
• A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove stubborn grime and dirt.
• Never use cleaners such as alcohol or paint thinner.
• To avoid discoloration, do not place vinyl objects on top of the unit.

Radio Interference

•  The  SDD7  contains  digital  circuitry  and  may  cause  interference  if  placed  too  close  

to radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move the SDD7 further away from the  

affected equipment.

Service and Modification

• There are no user-serviceable parts in the SDD7.
•  Do not attempt to open the drum unit or make any changes in the circuits or parts of the unit. 

This would void the warranty.

Congratulations!

Taking Care of your´
