I appreciate your comments & feedback gang regarding the ebay sds7 kit ... I figured as much. Due to financial constraints about a year ago I sold all of my Simmons gear, much to my regret. Now I am financially solvent again and really miss having and playing on a Simmons. My ideal kit is an sdsv but they are really hard to find ... but based on the advice given here at this forum from friends who I trust I will try and be patient and wait until the right kit comes along. Thanks again.
Best,
Synthdrummer

The first thing you would want to consider, and may already have, is
the unit is probably not 110 volts, and you would need to do
something about that to use it.
Also from the single photo, the pad shown looks like an SDS9 snare
pad. This would be a dual trigger pad, with a 1/4" plug. I might be
mistaken on this, as maybe Simmons later sold this type of pad with
the SDS7, and hopefully some more knowledgeable than me will weigh in
on this.
The price of over $2000.00 US is pretty high. I paid under $350.00
each for both my SDS7s.
I hope this is helpful to you.
