Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

My name is Maria and I am responsible for the liturgical music at
Catholic Church. Recently, the church received a SD5K drum set as a
free gift from a young drummer, who was completely discouraged as
this drum stopped working right in the middle of the church service.
He donated this drum to church. Now,hello! I am not a drummer. I am
pianist/organist. I brought the drum to Guitar Center--they said
that the "brain" is working. I do not have a main power supply
jack. They said to contact the Simmons on internet to get a new
one. So I wet on Simmonsdrum and came accross the warning message
from the original Simmons (in England) that SD5K dig. drum set could
be made in China (cheaply) not in England....and I should take it
back to get money back if it is not working. I am shocked. What
should I do. The drum set is already 2 years old (out of waranty).
I need to get also a kick trigger, as it is missing from the set and
an output Jacks to amplifier. I do not have anybody to work with on
this issue. Please advise me.
Also, is there any difference that I can find on this drum that shows
that it was made in China; or any marks or signs to signify that was
made in England.
Lost drummer,
Maria
