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.
