Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] SDS III FOR SALE in UK

From: Patrice Jacquot <Jacquot.Patrice@...>
Date: 2008-04-21

Hi,
Just for info ,
I paid mine 3 years ago, 150� in pretty good shape with 2 pads...
O, it's quite rare but personnaly I wouldn't pay as much for it as I
think a few old analog synths can do the job... & much more ...
but I'm just a drummer...

Hope that helps...
Patrice.
