Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] suitcase now on ebay

While I've never had crosstalk problems with mine, the foam deterioration would be my
point of caution. As the foam ages it breaks down terribly. Mine is almost unusable now.
The pads sink deeper into the foam with every hit as it has lost most of its elasticity. It's a
cool piece of gear but I wouldn't recommend it for practical usage applications. And that's
crazy money for a display item.
