Other information

On June 12, 2004, he joined the three original members of Petra in a set in which they performed an entire set of songs from the 1970s.

In 2005, he participated in the recording of the band's last live album, Petra Farewell. At one time of the show, Bob Hartman broke a string and Simmons delivered an impromptu drum solo. Unfortunately, being a spontaneous thing, the crew didn't get a good take of it so it wasn't included in the album or the DVD.

Simmons studied from 1979 to 1982 at McGavock Comprehensive High School in Nashville, Tennessee obtaining his high school diploma in 1982.
