hello and welcome
i have a spare sde sat under the bed
should work certainly lights up or it did last i looked
but without the manual they are pretty unfathomable (however it's spelt) which is why it's sat there and for the sounds they produce any good midi synth
then again back in the day i was trying to fill a rack with simmons gear
intrested
mtx 9's do pop up on ebay - not as regular as i thought they should
again pads are a regualr on ebay (or here)

Subject: [Simmons Drums] Hello everyone
Hi,
Discovered this group after a trawl of the net and thought I better
join.
Reason I'm here? Well, I used to own a Simmons kit (though I can't
remember which one) many years ago (early 80s). It got stolen
unfortunately. Always wanted another one since. Well, my eldest boy
is learning drums so I was going to build him an electronic kit for
silent practice at home (I have a Roland TD6 module and a set of
DDrum triggers and as I build custom drums I thought this would be a
good plan). Then I saw an SDS100 on Ebay and snapped it up. I've
cleaned up the pads - resprayed and laquered the plastic and now just
about to start sorting the rack out. Again, it needs re-spraying and
lacquering. But we're getting there. I've also just scored a SPM,
again on Ebay.
What I'm thinking now is off-loading the Roland module and set of
triggers and keeping it all Simmons. But, I believe Simmons made a
unit for triggering cymbal sounds? Is this true? If so, can anyone
provide me further info? Also, despite trying I can't locate a SDE
and MTX-9 expansion module. I've seen a couple in the States but they
do not ship outside the US. Anyone know where I can locate one? Also
would like to add a couple of pads to the whole set up so if anyone
has anything available I'd be pleased to hear from you.
Sorry for such a long post! Didn't mean to bore anyone on my first
time! Heh heh.....
