Sounds like the old hayman brand that disappeared in 75 and is now back with low budget
acoustic and electronic kits. The electronic kits are also avalaible with the 'Fame' brand on
it and are just crap. I wouildn't be surprised to see the same kit with a simmons logo.
There seems to be a trend to use old, more or less succesfull, brandname and make it
appear as a resurrection from the grave. (I very much doubt the new Lenco productline
having anything to do with the old swiss turntables from the 70's). If this Simmons stuff
was for real, I think it would have introduced itself somewhat more spectacular than in a
forum where it was spotted by someone in a Guitar center (of all places!!)
