Subject: Betr: [Simmons Drums] Fixin' toms

From: "Berk Aarts" <B.E.R.K@...>
Date: 2007-08-04

I guess there are piezo transducers inside
just open the case/tom
desolder the old ones and replace by new ones
plastic casing can come to life with a mild carpolish (try on a small space
not to visible)
the rubber can be rubbed with vaseline, but you better have done that 20
years ago

good luck
