It doesn't, this is for anything Simmons (except the GC type) but since
we'd discussed the suitcase and since I ran across the other I thought
it interesting to post it. It's not like the Simmonsmails are flooding
the inbox.

Like me then? But regarding the SDX, not all of us have SDX's for
obvious reasons. And since I haven't got around to fixing my SDS-III
there is not much to report there either...

But I've decided to sell my SDS-8 pads and is a bit hesitant regarding
the SDS-V bass pad I've used with them. Why sell? I'll go with the
Pollard and SDS-3/4 pads in the set instead. I like the skins of those,
they look amazing too (in an even more retro style) and they take up
less space.

BUT... does anyone (Wolfgang?) knowwhich type of hardware was used for
the SDS-3/4. The mounting holes on my sets are different. They look like
they'll fit the Tama "spike" type but they don't. Are they supposed to
be mounted on cymbal stands maybe?
