Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] Selecter Pad for the SDS7

From: Haley Johnson <crew38special@...>
Date: 2008-03-06

Hi All,
I would just like to say that Roger Davis is one COOL customer!!! I fell so bad about the SDS7 brain that I sold to him on e-bay. I was REAL worried that something would go wrong with it because it made a trip across the USA. EAST to WEST. I hope that someone out there can help with the problem with the selecter pad. It sure would be great if it worked right. Hats off to you Roger and know that I will help you out with this to the END!!!

Hi there,
I'm the buyer and certainly hold no grudges. The brain works fine.
Only the display goes out when the selector pad is connected. I'm
not too worried about it, but it would be cool to figure it out.
I'll look a little closer at the multi-pin connectors when I get a
chance. Overall it's a great piece.

Roger
