Rediscover the unmistakable character of classic analog percussion with the Behringer BDS-3, a faithful re-creation of the legendary Simmons drum synthesizer from the 1970s.
The BDS-3  merges authentic analog circuitry with modern control, connectivity, and performance flexibility — a perfect balance of retro tone and contemporary workflow.

Each of the four independent drum channels (plus one dedicated modulation/effects section) offers extensive parameters for sculpting your sound: pitch, decay, bend, noise balance, and dynamic response.
From deep, resonant kicks and metallic snares to experimental percussive textures, the BDS-3  places limitless sonic creativity at your fingertips.

Designed for producers, sound designers, and performers seeking expressive, hands-on drum synthesis, the BDS-3  integrates seamlessly into both studio and Eurorack environments.
MIDI, USB, and analog trigger connectivity ensure total compatibility with any modern setup.
